Description
Fate really has hit Meg Krantz. A single 37-year- old lesbian, she relishes her independent life in New York, and motherhood is the last thing on her mind. But when she meets the soon-to-be-orphaned four-year-old Kimble Toffler, her growing attachment to the child starts leading her in an unexpected direction. A lively and satisfying novel that takes a fresh up-to-the-minute look at the ever-fascinating theme of mothers and daughters, Patricia Grossman blends them with such issues as adoption and lesbian parenting to produce a tender and revelatory story.
Media reviews
‘Unexpected Child’ is a quiet story. Not much actually happens, but it is rich in ideas and nuance. It refuses to take obvious routes, it lacks cliché, it is a thoughtful and thoroughly grown-up novel. ‘Unexpected Child’ is an unexpected pleasure.
