In Six Geese a-Laying, Christmas is approaching, and Ginny is looking forward to the birth of her first baby. It's a pity her partner Dan is so useless, and she has to keep reminding him where he's going wrong. Luckily she's enrolled into the most exclusive antenatal class going - all the highest achieving, smartest mothers-to-be aspire to be taught by the legendary Petal Harmon. Like the other five women in the class, Ginny already knows exactly what she wants, and how she's going to handle motherhood.But when they turn up for the final class it isn't quite what they expect. As Ginny discovers what parenthood is really going to be like, she begins to realize the things that really matter...
This is a
sweet short story set days before Christmas at an exclusive pre-natal class for
six women (whose names all begin with ‘G’). It’s their last class before their
due dates and they are all chatting away comparing notes on nurses, names and worries
they have about the birth and the child they are carrying. However, the last
class is different from others as their instructor is able to give them all
glimpses of what lays ahead (pun intended!).
I really
enjoyed this – especially as it seems a lot of my friends are pregnant at the
moment! It addresses a lot of the concerns expectant mothers have about
themselves, their health care, their child and even their relationships, but at
the same time is amusing and light. It’s not a long story but a fantastic
little break from real life and easily read within half an hour.
