Sonia, a young Brooklyn mother shaken by her unexpected (third) pregnancy, abandons her husband and kids and takes off on a cross-country odyssey in search of an identity separate from her family. She does everything a pregnant woman shouldn’t do—engaging in casual sex and smoking weed—as she retraces her past and attempts to reclaim her sidelined career as an artist. Nine Months is a fierce, daring page-turner of a novel—a lacerating response to the culture of mommy blogs, helicopter parents and “parental correctness” as well as an unflinching look at the choices women face when trying to balance art and family.
Media
“Deliciously, dangerously rogue.”
—Marcy Dermansky, author of Bad Marie
“A raw, darkly funny, at times appalling page-turner ... Mommy lit lovers will be horrified, but Bomer’s debut novel will resonate with fans of quirky, character-driven fiction in the vein of Richard Russo, John Updike, and Tiffany Baker. ”
—Library Journal
“Phenomenal comedic pace. ”
—The Atlantic
“This is a brave and provocative book about the insidious power of PC. That’s Parental Correctness not Political Correctness...[Bomer’s] wounding analysis of herself and the vicious new mummy tribes she introduces us to make this book an instant classic. ”
The Guardian
“This is the road trip novel I’ve always wanted to read...Sonia’s observations are priceless...After reading this powerful, entertaining novel, and Bomer’s excellent collection of stories, I’m convinced. Anything she writes, I want it. ”
