Eliza Minot’s IN THE ORCHARD is one of the most beautiful novels I’ve read on the early, lush, deranged weeks after giving birth, so I was flattered to find ELEVEN HOURS—alongside works by Toni Morrison, Elena Ferrante, Jenny Offill, and Evan S. Connell!— on this list of the best fiction on the experience of motherhood that Minot did for the website Shepherd.
