It starts as bloating, a hard curvature in my gut that won’t go away....

When Lia lays an egg she doesn’t know what to do. At her age, it’s impossible to escape the baby question, and all her friends seem to be having children. She feels her heart’s not in it – but all the same, there’s the egg, impossible to ignore, lying in a nest of towels in the living room.

• 'This short but powerful book has a kind of mesmerising quality – Lia’s world becomes so vivid that the hook of the ‘wacky’ premise fades into accepted reality, and the beautiful writing takes over'
