"Brought to you by Penguin. After Nancy’s father dies, she is faced with two life-changing revelations. One: She has a half-brother she knew nothing about. Nancy’s world is punched inside out at the discovery of a mysterious new sibling. But she can’t help but feel curious about Oliver, this stranger who shares her DNA. Her sister Rita, on the other hand, is furious and wants nothing to do with their ‘cuckoo’ brother. Two: She’s pregnant. The father – Nancy’s not-quite-boyfriend from her not-quite-relationship – doesn’t want to commit any time soon. He isn’t even in the same continent as her right now. And with her mother and sister in shock about Oliver, Nancy’s struggling to find someone to turn to for support. In a tumult of grief, fear and hope, Nancy pushes herself into an uncertain future as she rethinks what really makes a family. But there’s one more thought in the back of her head… Is there space in her family for two more? © Nell Frizzell 2024 (P) Penguin Audio 2024"

Holding the Baby: Milk, sweat and tears from the frontline of motherhood

"Brought to you by Penguin. It's time to share the motherload. A memoir culminating in a manifesto, Holding the Baby sets out to understand why we still treat early parenthood as an individual slog rather than a shared cultural responsibility. Tracing her own journey to the nadir of sleeplessness via social retreat and murderous rage, Frizzell draws on the latest research to explore: - What effect does parenting have on your career? - How can we make childcare affordable and fit for purpose? - If parenting is so hard, why does anyone ever do it more than once? Funny, reassuring and radically ambitious, Holding the Baby sheds light on the ways in which we fail new parents, and offers a rallying crying that we fight for a better alternative. ©2023 Nell Frizzell (P)2023 Penguin Audio"

The Panic Years: dates, doubts and the mother of all decisions

"Brought to you by Penguin. 'Every millennial woman should have it on her bookshelf.' Pandora Sykes, journalist and co-host of The High Low Podcast The Panic Years: something between adolescence and menopause, a personal crisis, a transformation. The panic years can hit at any time but they are most commonly triggered somewhere between the ages of twenty-five and forty. During this time, every decision a woman makes - from postcode to partner, friends to family, work to weekends - will be impacted by the urgency of the one decision with a deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back: whether or not to have a baby. But how to stay sane in such a maddening time? How to understand who you are and what you might want from life? How to know if you're making the right decisions? Raw, hilarious and beguilingly honest, Nell Frizzell's account of her panic years is both an arm around the shoulder and a campaign to start a conversation. This affects us all - women, men, mothers, children, partners, friends, colleagues - so it's time we started talking about it with a little more candour. 'Vital reading. Nell Frizzell is a master.' Rob Delaney, co-writer and co-star of Catastrophe © Nell Frizzell 2020 (P) Penguin Audio 2020"
