In the safe haven of her London office--a room her husband jokingly calls \"The Delivery Room\"--therapist Mira Braverman listens to the stories of her troubled patients, including an aristocratic woman going through an intense infertility drama, an American journalist who is eager to have a baby, and an irritable divorcé who likes to taunt Mira about her Serbian nationality. As the novel unfolds, Mira discovers she is not as distant from her patients' pain as she might once have been: her husband Peter struggles with illness, NATO's threats against her country grow more serious, and submerged truths from her own past seem likely to erupt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompelling, complex, and always deeply human, \u003ci\u003eThe Delivery Room\u003c\/i\u003e is an engaging examination of the incomplete understandings that course between therapist and patient, and a set of variations on the theme of motherhood--as well as a timely meditation on the meanings of wars fought from a distance, when ordinary citizens have to measure their personal griefs against the outrages experienced by those under attack.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSylvia Brownrigg\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of a collection of stories, \u003ci\u003eTen Women Who Shook the World\u003c\/i\u003e, and the novels \u003ci\u003ePages for You\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Metaphysical Touch\u003c\/i\u003e.
