Home Work
‘In these warm, observant essays, Helen Hayward argues that in looking after our living spaces we do far more than knock off the chores. In sharing her own experience, she shows how everyday homemaking can nourish ourselves and others at a level far deeper than the physical - and how, for her, housekeeping became a recurring affirmation of love and life.’
Sarah Wedderburn, British poet
A Slow Childhood
If you’ve ever struggled to balance a desire for personal fulfilment with a yearning to be the best parent you can be, this book may resonate with you. Part-memoir, part-existential musings, part-guidebook, A Slow Childhood is based on my experience of transitioning from a life focused on career to a life focused on family.
A Slow Childhood is a triumph. I was very moved, often to tears, by it. – Alain de Botton

Never Marry a Girl with a Dead Father
This is my first book, a rewrite of my Phd for a general audience. I was teaching literature at the time, and wondered why so many heroines of 19th century novels didn't have a father.
