Nie, nie, nie

The thirty-five-year-old narrator decided years ago that she would never have children — a decision that continues to shape, and strain, the people around her. Her longtime partner Philip increasingly doubts whether he can live with her choice, while her mother has spent years knitting baby clothes in hope of a grandchild she may never have. When her best friend Anniken becomes pregnant, everything the narrator thought she had settled is thrown back into question.\n\nLinn Strømsborg examines the questions every woman eventually confronts about motherhood and identity, told with directness and empathy rather than judgment — a novel about parenthood, womanhood, and the right to define a full life on one's own terms.
