About this deal

I really enjoy seeing Anita on tv so was excited to read this book. The synopsis didn't really seem to match up with the story I read though. The story was both at once, much more serious and challenging than I was expecting and much less frothily romantic.

I couldn't put the book down once I started following Baby's journey and devoured it yesterday afternoon. I absolutely loved everything about this novel. Anita Rani has created a brilliant character with Baby who is a sassy Bradford-born girl-about Manchester, living as an independent woman with her own flat and a good job in marketing. Baby is sparky and funny, as is the dialogue, and this delightful novel is threaded with humour, wit and comedy. But, there is also great depth to this book, and it explores more serious issues above and beyond the light-hearted take on the heavy hints about marriage and babies from her Indian mother and ‘aunties’, and the unfulfilling day job. Go and get your feet measured at a proper running shop that does gait analysis. Pre-pregnancy I was a 7D. Post-pregnancy I am a 8.5EE.” 5.

I found it really good because I wanted to go out the next time to find out what happened next.”Teamwork Arts first worked internationally in Singapore helping to engage with theatre groups and put on an annual festival there.

I had been running by myself maybe two or three times a week for two months, by then. It's a different running style, but you do get used to it.” In case you’ve forgotten, your pelvic floor is the group of sling-like muscles that support your uterus, bladder and bowel. Feeding your baby before you head out on a run will mean they’re more likely to settle while you're away and your boobs will feel a little less full. Alternatively, you could try expressing milk using a breast pump and allowing your partner or a family member to feed while you’re gone.

You’ve probably received a leaflet from your health visitor about the importance of pelvic floor exercises after giving birth. But with all the drama, joy and tears of having a newborn baby, it’s something that can easily slip off your lengthy to-do list. She starts her journey in the bosom of her family, staying with her aunty and cousins. I loved this part of the book, with Baby’s assumptions about life in modern India being challenged at every corner, and the way that her aunt and cousins immediately enveloped her in love and acceptance.

The Independent is among those reviewers who were mightily impressed, giving the book a 10/10 and reminding everyone that Rani’s tale pays respect to the South Asian mothers whose stories were often lost with them when they passed.
