Publisher's Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
Mother to five children, Clover Stroud has navigated family life across two decades, both losing and finding herself. In her touching, provocative and profoundly insightful book, she captures a sense of what motherhood really feels like - how intense, sensuous, joyful, boring, profound and dark it can be.
My Wild and Sleepless Nights examines what it means to be a mother, and reveals with unflinching honesty the many conflicting emotions that this entails: the joy and the wonder, the loneliness and despair.
Charting the course of one year, the first in her youngest child’s life, Clover searches for answers to questions that many of us would be too afraid to admit to - not only about motherhood, but also about female sexuality and identity. Her story will speak to all mothers and anyone about to embark on that journey.

Listening to my own unexpressed thoughts
Having had 4 of my 5 kids in Oxford and also blundering through motherhood o totally loved the way Clover expressed her very personal but totally relatable novel, I felt like we were put having a coffee together

Clover Stroud Shares "Motherhood" & Reality.
I've enjoyed listening to Clover Stroud's books from her life. I didn't start till her latest & now I'm catching up. This one, about the rawness, the love, the frustration & more about being a mother: in her case of 5, is a down to earth story I could really identify with. Not enough is shared about the myths & truths of motherhood & Clover begins a conversation I could understand... & I'm old enough to be her mother!

some very real unglamorous moments of motherhood.
I do like clovers style of writing and rather enjoyed her previous book. this book has some very relatable feelings of motherhood and all the weird emotions that come with it. I found it got very repetitive and went around and around. I forced myself to finish this book and towards the middle to the end was feeling rather done with it- the storyline and the performance.
