Description

The Millstone by Margaret Drabble is a powerful exploration of motherhood and independence in 1960s Britain. When Rosamund Stacey becomes pregnant after a one-night stand, she chooses to have the baby rather than seek an illegal abortion, setting off a chain of events that transform her life.

This radical novel celebrates the complexities of the mother-child relationship, as Rosamund navigates the challenges of single parenthood in a society still grappling with the consequences of sexual liberation. With its vivid portrayal of a pivotal moment in history, The Millstone is a thought-provoking and deeply human story that will resonate with readers.
