  • Summary

  • Award-winning novelist Claire Kilroy's new book 'Soldier Sailor' may just be her best yet.

    Kilroy's personal experience of being denied the freedom to resume professional writing for 10 years since becoming a mother has given birth to 'Soldier Sailor' – an unflinchingly honest account of the frustration, tedium, loneliness and resentment many mothers endure when looking after a baby/toddler full time. In this very frank interview, Claire talks openly about the relationship struggles this leads to, women's yearning for a life and identity they fear may be gone forever, anger and disbelief at the ongoing existence of patriarchy and the distinct worlds it catapults mothers vs. fathers into, all juxtaposed with a maternal love so profound she would kill for her child. Buckle in!!
