Product Description

Most mothers don’t have time for long conversations. They may want them, crave them, begin them again and again—but they are constantly interrupted by kids, partners, work and the day-to-day of busy lives. Between Interruptions is a remarkable collection of original essays by Canadian writers that explores what is unspoken, cut off or lost in those interrupted conversations. Between Interruptions asks what becomes of us when our children’s lives interrupt our own. What prayers, what cries, what taboo thoughts are suddenly left unspoken? Marina Jimenez struggles with her decision to return to her job as a journalist—in a war zone. Carrie-Anne Moss lets us into her home during her self-imposed, forty-day seclusion after the birth of her first son. Chantal Kreviazuk learns to surrender to the limitations of motherhood. Joanna Streetly struggles to find a balance between protecting and letting go. Elizabeth Renzetti and Karrina Onstad search for friends in mommyland. And Estee Klar-Wolfond finds perfection in autism. Provocative, funny and honest, Between Interruptions highlights the differences and similarities between mothers today and generations past. It is, without a doubt, a conversation worth having.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Conversation You Can Finish at Your Convenience, Aug 16 2007

By	Ann Douglas "pregnancy/parenting author" (Peterborough, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you swear you haven't been able to finish a sentence, let alone complete a conversation, in years, here's a book that gives you the lowdown on what your mom friends have been trying to tell you between interruptions.

The essays in this book are organized around five key themes -- ambition, anxiety, guilt, devotion, and redemption -- and deal with situations as varied as postpartum depression, mom friendships, becoming your own father (yes father, not mother), resenting the nanny, knowing when your family is finished, and the perils of potties as hats.

To create this collection, CBC producer Cori Howard, the book's editor, solicited contributions from both well-known and not-so-well-known Canadian mothers: novelists, journalists, newspaper and magazine editors, singer/songwriters, broadcasters, bloggers (including Toronto blogger MUBAR -- Mothered Up Beyond All Recognition), and others. The result is an honest and memorable collection of outtakes from the lives of Canadian moms.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real, raw...I want more!, Jan 23 2009

By	A. Ramsay "bookmommy" (vancouver, bc, canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I received this book from my sister for my birthday. I read it front to back in three days, during my commute to work and back every day. I have since gone back into the book to re-read a few of the stories because they hit such an emotional place that I could relate to. This compilation is unbelievably written. The stories are so real and its comforting to know that what I am going through as a Mother is somewhat the same as what other Mothers are also going through.

A MUST READ for all Moms today. Amazing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Articulated my feelings for me, May 25 2008

By	E. Marquez (Toronto, ON) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My husband got this book from the library as something I might want to read. I stopped reading another book I was in the middle of, and couldn't get enough of this book. It's journeying back to the early days of motherhood (our daughter is now almost 2 yrs old) and the conflicting feelings that went with it--this time articulated to the last detail by strangers. I could totally relate to the writings of these women, in a way I couldn't explain to my dearest friends who had not gone thru the experience.
What a treasure. Highly recommended to moms and moms-to-be.
