While every parent knows more of what to expect the next time round, the birth of a second child is no less momentous. Family relationships multiply, birth-order myths hover and sibling rivalry and parental exhaustion threaten. Yet the potential for joy and love within the family also expands, as if by magic. This new literary talent shines a tender insight on a forgotten subject: what it is to parent for the second time and what it is to forever be a younger child.

Susie Boyt, author of Love and Fame 'A subtle and captivating tour of a topic we've strangely overlooked.' Sarah Knott, author of Mother: An Unconventional History 'Gorgeous ... Berger's thoughtful inquiry eloquently illuminates the complexities of second-time parenthood.' Publishers Weekly
