At the memo, we stock Jamila Rizvi’s best-selling book about motherhood. It serves as a fantastic reminder when we’re not feeling our best to know other women have been there too. The novel is a collection of letters from Australian women including Zoe Foster Blake, Clare Bowditch, Clementine Ford and more, all about the things they wish they had known before becoming mothers. We are totally obsessed with this book (and Jamila) and highly recommend it as a gift to all new mothers.
