«Catalytic, moving, and full of heart - Mother Ship is a beautifully written, spontaneous love letter to the magnificent NHS» Adam Kay, author of This is Going to Hurt. After the birth of her identical twin girls, ten weeks premature, Francesca Segal finds herself watching in the “mother-ship” of neonatal intensive care as all romantic expectations of new parenthood shatter. Each day brings a new challenge for her and her babies, while Francesca creates a temporary life among a group of women who are lively, fearless, and inspiring, caring not only for their children but also for each other. Mother Ship is an ode to the transformative power of female friendships and a loving celebration of the two little girls - and their mother - who defy the odds. A comforting and encouraging read, especially for those experiencing the same journey.

«A moving look at what must have been such a fragile, overwhelming, and frightening time - yet there is humor in it too. Beautiful» Giovanna Fletcher. «A beautiful, lyrical memoir that navigates the unpredictable landscape of NICU and the will to survive» Christie Watson, author of The Language of Kindness.
