NOW A MAJOR FILM STARRING AMY ADAMS

Are you looking for a book with bite?

One day, the mother was a mother but then, one night, she was quite suddenly something else...

At home full-time with her two-year-old son, an artist finds she is struggling. She is lonely and exhausted. Her husband, always travelling for his work, calls her from faraway hotel rooms. One more toddler bedtime, and she fears she might lose her mind.

Instead, she starts gaining things, surprising things that happen one night when her child will not sleep. New appetites, new instincts. And from deep within herself, a new voice...

Written as a howl against biology, history and the patriarchy, Nightbitch uproariously explores how traditional structures of power and gender continue to shape our experiences of mothering. Outrageously enjoyable, deeply clever and joyfully subversive, it is a book about finding the freedom to love and live as we want and need, whatever form this takes.

Recensioni della critica

Outrageous, gritty, smart, fun (BONNIE GARMUS)
Yoder's voice is precise and funny, pitch-perfect... This is a terrifically alive and imaginative tale... an important contribution to the engagement with motherhood that rightly dominates contemporary feminism. (Lara Feigel)
I've been waiting my whole adult life for a read like this. Nightbitch is truly imaginative, utterly original, brave and brilliant - I devoured it.
A deliciously untamed satire on mothering and collapsed ambition... Yoder's descriptions of wild self-release are thrilling. (Catherine Taylor)
Yoder's commentary on the assorted neuroses of modern womanhood is graceful and coolly incisive... She infuses new life into the cold, furry flesh of the monstrous femme. (AK Blakemore)
For anyone raging at the patriarchy, Nightbitch is a brilliant read.
Feral, unholy... Nightbitch is an incredible feat.
Graceful, funny and unnerving as hell.
Joyfully demented... I tore through it. This is going to be massive.
I could not love a novel more than Rachel Yoder's Nightbitch. It's such a uniquely brilliant book... magical, dark, and funny.
