A heart-wrenching insight into what must have been such a fragile, overwhelming and terrifying time - yet there's humour in there too. Beautiful * Giovanna Fletcher * [Segal] writes with delicate eloquence, combining passion and comic understatement so deftly that this feels the only way the book could have been written... I don't think I've turned the pages so urgently in a book about motherhood before -- Lara Feigal * Guardian * A beautiful memoir: wise, moving and profoundly humane. Segal writes with such exquisite clarity that each word is a gift, each sentence a votive offering. Mother Ship moved me to tears, but it also taught me the unassailable power of decency and kindness when life is at its most fragile and vulnerable. A book that left me changed for having read it * Elizabeth Day * As gripping as a thriller and as moving as a love story -- Amanda Craig * Spectator * A compelling and emotionally taut exploration of what it means to be a parent in unexpected and challenging circumstances... The pages of Mother Ship are filled with love, anguish, despair and hope in the face of adversity. As a memoir, it is both insightful and moving; as a diary of 56 days in neonatal care, it is an exquisitely written paean to motherhood * Observer *
