“I am afraid of being the disruptive woman. And of not being disruptive enough. I am afraid. But I am doing it anyway…”

Emilie Pine’s Notes to Self is a story for all of us. In six spellbinding essays she writes of caring for her alcoholic father, the childhood pain of her parents’ separation, her unboundaried teenage years, infertility and sexual violence. And, ultimately, once the unsayable has been said, the joy of letting go.

“Honest, brave, searing, fiercely feminist, fascinating, and relatable throughout.” Sunday Times

“Do not read this book in public: it will make you cry.” Anne Enright
