Madeleine Watts recommends
Queen Mab (2026)
Emily McBride
"So clever and ethereal and nimble at moving between the realist and the fabulist, and so perfectly captures those psychedelic, feral postpartum days, and the unexpected entry into wildness you experience when you give birth. It's just so good!"
