Description

A memoir told through essays of one woman's experiences undergoing fertility treatment, and how she finds solace in writing, art, and the world around her.

In this poignant collection, Sue Hann navigates the heartbreak of infertility through a series of reflective essays. As a psychologist, she finds little solace in clinical literature and instead turns to writing, art, and nature to make sense of her experience. From Georgia O'Keeffe's paintings to Sri Lanka’s rainforests, she seeks meaning and resilience.

Palingenesis explores the emotions, struggles and heartache of unsuccessful fertility treatment, with an appreciation for the transformative power of art and nature.
