Grégoire Bouillier had no way of knowing that the caller was the woman who had left him, without warning, five years before. And he couldn't have guessed why she was calling: not to say she was sorry, not to explain why she'd vanished from his life, but to invite him to a party. A birthday party. For a woman he'd never met.<br/><br/>Here is the unlikely but true account of how one man got over a broken heart, regained his faith in literature, participated--by mistake--in a work of performance art, threw away his turtlenecks, spent his rent money on a 1964 Bordeaux that nobody ever drank, and fell in love again. Named one of the year's best books by Slate and the San Francisco Chronicle when it first appeared in English, The Mystery Guest is a “darkly hilarious . . . odyssey . . . that wends its loopy way

She got her degree in art history, landed a job in a gallery, made friends, and met interesting artists, one of whom became her husband. But when Hoover got pregnant, everything in her life began to unravel.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eShe felt like an imposter in her own body. She grew distant from her friends and husband. Anxiety, fear, guilt, and shame threatened to swallow her. She also experienced trauma at the hands of one of her doctors—a stark trigger. And when her son was born, there was no… joy.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eHer despair was persistent, even with help, therapy, and pills. Grieving a lost identity and angry at the world around her, she found herself despising her baby, her husband, and herself. She was afraid it might not end. With the help of a doctor’s diagnosis, Hoover began to understand the cluster of symptoms that informed her experience—she was drowning in postpartum depression—and that she wasn’t a bad mother or a failed woman.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eAt its core, The Motherload is about learning to forgive yourself. It’s a rejection of the cultural idea of the mother as a perfect being. And it’s an honest, propulsive, and often funny take on the vicissitudes of marriage, life, and parenting—a motherhood memoir unlike any other.","product":{"id":"a4a06523-3410-40cf-8b43-4fe8f5f4e177","ean":"9781668010136","isbn":"9781668010136","title":"The Motherload: Episodes from the Brink of Motherhood","author_name":"Sarah Hoover","edition_number":"","edition_description":"","product_form":"Hardcover","availability":null,"image_url":"https://d16057n354qyo4.cloudfront.net/9781668010136.jpg?nextExtension=webp\u0026version=1735511776","badges":{"readers_score":{"value":"0.8217","int_value":"82"},"book_mark_review":null,"nyt_best_sellers":null,"awards":null,"book_clubs":[{"name":"Belletrist Book Club","logo_url":"https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/book-clubs/BadgeBelletristBookClub.png","score":6}],"goodreads_rating":null,"nyt_reviews":null,"trending_badge":null},"bisac_codes":{"bisac_subject_code1":"BIO026000","bisac_subject_description1":"Memoirs","bisac_subject_code2":"FAM032000","bisac_subject_description2":"Parenting - Motherhood","bisac_subject_code3":"PSY049000","bisac_subject_description3":"Psychopathology - Depression"},"book_url":"/book/the-motherload-episodes-from-the-brink-of-motherhood-sarah-hoover/9781668010136","ecommerce":null,"rate":null,"custom_list_id":null,"custom_list_name":null,"saved_in_lists":null},"distribution_date":"2025-01-02","end_date":"2025-01-30"},{"month":"12","year":"2024","image_url":"https://d1iyvy95qprisd.cloudfront.net/book-club/book/fabf0481-b89e-4b4b-aa43-32dc0e99875a_2024_12.jpg","description":"\u003cb\u003eA must-read thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last page from the New York Times bestselling author of Night Film.\u003c/b\u003e\u003cbr/\u003e\u003cbr/\u003eThere's nothing special about Dia Gannon.
