A Hot Summer Book, Refinery29
Six months after the birth of her son, Emma Jane Unsworth finds herself in the eye of a storm. Nothing - from pregnancy to birth and beyond - has gone as she expected. A birth plan? It might as well have been a rough draft! Furious and exhausted, her life is the complete opposite of what it used to be. She's swapped all night benders for grazed labia and Whac-a-Moling haemorrhoids. How did she end up here?
In this brave, vital account of postnatal depression, Emma tells her story of despair and recovery. She tackles the biggest taboos around motherhood and mental health, from botched stitches and bleeding nipples to anger and shame. How does pregnancy adapt our brains? Is postnatal depression a natural reaction to the trauma of modern motherhood? And are people's attitudes finally changing?
After the Storm is a celebration of survival, holding out a hand to women everywhere.

Rezensionen
This is a brave and important work. Unsworth is unflinchingly honest about her experiences, and her beautiful, hilarious, clever writing elevates her story into something universal ... I loved this book
A compulsive read, one that any mother will recognise parts of herself within, even if she has not, like Unsworth, experienced brutal PND
An excellent book. Truth and power and lots of LOLs too. I loved it. Emma Jane Unsworth is a wonder
Funny and perceptive ... Oh, what a book ... Articulately capturing the sense of despair, exhaustion and disappointment brought on by motherhood even when you love the child you've created, [this book] delves deeper into what happens to women'
Funny, gruelling, wonderful. I felt as though I were with her every step of the way. I loved it
Puts into language an experience almost impossible to describe; I am so grateful for this beautiful, honest book. It has helped me immeasurably
A brilliant, deeply personal and honest book from a writer who is an expert at being humane, funny and vulnerable
This book is truly brilliant. Packed with intense bursts of knowledge, understanding and humour. Unsworth'
A beautifully-written, raw - and totally relatable - account of new motherhood that had me laughing and crying in equal measures. Emma Jane Unsworth is the real deal
A call to arms to centre the mental health of new mothers and push back against the taboos that force so many to feel they must suffer in silence
A breath-takingly brave and honest memoir of motherhood'
Dazzling ... skewers the injustices and quirks of maternity, from how women are treated as public property from the minute they conceive to the absurdity of "rock 'n' roll Baby Sensory"
Postnatal depression is not supposed to make you laugh but brutal honesty and dazzling humour are part of Emma Jane Unsworth'
This great, brave and brilliant book will really resonate with anyone who has/had PND (or those around them who - hopefully - will want to try and understand)
Refreshing, brave and often funny ... This is a true celebration of survival
