She goes ahead and gets pregnant anyway, and the novel details her pregnancy with comic intensity, from morning sickness to amniocentesis.Media Reviews"Though Zigman's refusal to probe some of the deeper questions sometimes frustrates, her modern story of a woman on a baby quest is a worthy read, well told and funny." -- Kirkus "Zigman indulges tired female stereotypes....Ellen is undeniably likable, and she'd be fun to have drinks with. Unfortunately, her likability can't save her from becoming a caricature." -- Lori Leibovich, New York Times Book Review Publisher NotesThirty-five-year-old careerwoman Ellen Green wants a child, but her boyfriend Malcolm doesn't, so she is forced to consider the option of single motherhood, in a new novel by the best-selling author of Animal Husbandry.
