The highly acclaimed memoir that tells the real story of being a mother in the modern world and voices the unspoken truths that everyone needs to hear
'Every person - parent or not - ought to read this . . . beautifully written and searingly honest'
i
Like grief or falling in love, becoming a mother is an experience both ordinary and transformative - one that not only turns your world upside-down, but your inner self, too.
In this frank, funny and fearless memoir, Marianne Levy writes with heart-wrenching honesty about love and loss, rage and pain, fear and joy. She breaks the silence around the emotional turmoil of raising a child and asks why motherhood is at once so venerated and so undervalued.
Here is the real story of being a mother in the modern world, voicing the unspoken truths that everyone needs to hear.
'I've never read a book about motherhood that captures so perfectly the impossible complexity of it all . . . genius'
Irish Independent
Praise for Don't Forget to Scream: Unspoken Truths About Motherhood

I read Marianne's book with a constricted throat and welling eyes. Her writing cuts to the quick - so deep, direct, and moving but also wry and funny, often provoking a choked laugh. These essays tug and prod at what it means to be a mother - the 'messy cat's cradle of womanhood' - in the most intimate, powerful and painfully honest way, leaving me ravaged, occasionally enraged, but also feeling profoundly seen - Beth Morrey, author of Saving Missy

Phenomenal. Words like 'searing' and 'extraordinary' and 'blistering' will be used about this book, and they will not convey one tenth of the strength of it, nor the honesty nor the bravery in writing it - Emma Flint, author of Little Deaths
