Description
Just yesterday, Ema was dancing the samba in the fountain at Karlák, today she quietly sips lady's mantle tea and finds herself in a world where dreams of a fragrant nursery collide with glasses of murky urine and the chill of gynecological mirrors. Conception then triggers a cycle of unstoppable vomiting – a delirium in which skeletons in the closet come to life. Especially those related to her Indian past. This is Ema's secret: that she is not pregnant for the first time... The book depicts the thorny journey to motherhood and challenges the notion that pregnancy is the happiest time in a woman's life. It meticulously records the struggle with hyperemesis gravidarum and contributes to the endless discussion about abortions.
