The Nursery

A Swedish-English translator is struggling with postpartum depression. Isolation, lack of sleep, and exhaustion took their toll. This honest novel will be at least partly relatable to mothers — those who share the experience of taking care of a newborn baby.

The Nursery is a short novel but a powerful one.
