Showing results for "Trying" in Literature & Fiction

Written by Grazia magazine's Features Director, this is a novel about a woman who is trying, and so far failing, to conceive. A hugely funny, searingly honest comedy about what to expect when you're not expecting. Olivia and Felix are trying for a baby. They even moved to the suburbs in anticipation of their future family. But despite approaching her cycle and their sex life with military precision, there's still no sign of what felt like the sure next step, whilst friends' broods seem to be growing by the week.

Jane is trying. She's been trying for a baby, with increasing desperation as her 30s sail by.

Freise tut das auf jeden Fall. Mit seiner ersten Hörspielveröffentlichung tanzt Markus auf einem Drahtseil, wobei er sich stets mit Lichtgeschwindigkeit nach vorne bewegt...
