After Nancy’s father dies, she is faced with two life-changing revelations. One – she has a half-brother she knew nothing about; Two – she’s expecting a baby. Her brother is clearly the result of an affair, and she’s having the baby with a man who, despite being in a relationship with Nancy for over two years, shows absolutely no signs of commitment. He’s not even in the same country as her right now. Nancy’s half-sister Rita is furious with their father and wants nothing to do with their new-found brother. But Nancy is intrigued. In a tumult of grief, bewilderment, fear and hope, she is eager to meet Oliver and find the answer to what really makes a family. And in a few months’ time, who is going to step up and help her bring up a baby?

A memoir culminating in a manifesto, ‘Holding the Baby’ sets out to understand why we still treat early parenthood as an individual slog rather than a shared cultural responsibility. Tracing her own journey to the nadir of sleeplessness via social retreat and murderous rage, Frizzell draws on the latest research to explore: What effect does parenting have on your career? How can we make childcare affordable and fit for purpose? If parenting is so hard, why does anyone ever do it more than once?

Every woman will experience the panic years in some way between her mid-twenties and early-forties. This maddening period of transformation and personal crisis is recognisable by the myriad of decisions we make – about partners, holidays, jobs, homes, savings, friendships – all of which are impacted by the urgency of the single decision that comes with a biological deadline, the one decision that is impossible to take back; whether or not to have a baby. But how to stay sane in such a maddening time? How to know who you are and what you might want from life? How to know if you’re making the right decisions? Raw, hilarious and beguilingly honest, Nell Frizzell’s account of her panic years is both an arm around the shoulder and a campaign to start a conversation.
