Mi Trabajo - by Olga Ravn (Paperback)

About the Book

This novel explores motherhood and the fear of losing oneself in it. Through Anna's diary entries, letters, poems, and reflections, it delves into the anxieties of pregnancy, the weight of responsibility, and the emotional strain on relationships. Writing becomes a means of resistance--a way to preserve identity amid the all-consuming demands of care. With a fragmented, evolving narrative, the book examines whether the roles of writer and mother can coexist, or if one must inevitably consume the other. Following her acclaimed novel The Employees, Olga Ravn delivers a bold, honest, and deeply personal meditation on the invisible labor of women.
