I have never before in my life been tempted to recommend a book before I have had the chance to actually finish reading it myself.
This book however compels me to do so because it's incredibly interesting, very well written, smart and even witty (yes, I have genuinely hooted out loud at the pictures the author has painted for me in my mind).
The book is called "Brining up Bebe" by Pamela Druckerman.
I'm not exactly certain of how to describe it without turning too many people away... I will focus on keeping it short and sweet.
It isn't a novel. It is a refreshingly intelligent look at some of the absurdities we have all either experienced or witnessed related to child-rearing, and offers refreshingly unstuffy insight into an alternative path, one practiced deftly by the French (not something some guru has just randomly invented...).
I find this book incredible as it speaks eloquently to me as a mother, a thinking woman and a paediatrician.
Once I'm officially done I'll try to remember to update the post. Until then, buy it, read it, enjoy, and join me in some enlightenment, it's brilliant!
Update: OK, finished it, and truly loved it! I cannot say enough about what an interesting experience it is to consider these aspects of how we live and behave. Merci beaucoup!
