Synopsis

Meet Natalie: she hates work, but turns out she's great at labour

'A delightfully sharp, dynamic debut' KILEY REID

'Unputdownable' JULIE BUNTIN

The job: deliver seven healthy babies in ten years. In exchange: Natalie's every need attended to, and her labour (figurative and literal) for once generously compensated. And during what Natalie comes to call her 'fallow' periods, she's free to live the life of solitary, uncomplicated hedonism that she's always dreamt of - free of connection, obligation and expectation.

But as Natalie nears the end of her contract - and her tantalising completion bonus - she meets Jackie, the biological mother of her penultimate pregnancy. Jackie isn't like the other mothers, and suddenly Natalie finds herself taken into a different kind of scheme altogether.
