Praise for Bed Rest:


'Sarah Bilston has written a very clear-sighted novel about how tough it is for women to juggle career, marriage and childbirth- I laughed out loud and I couldn't put it down' Marian Keyes

'Even if you've never been pregnant you'll be as instantly hooked on this addictive novel. While most of us dream of days on end in bed with nothing to do but eat and watch television, Q shows us the true nature of being a caged animal ' Plum Sykes.

'Bed Rest is a quirky romp through the ups and downs of marriage, miscommunication, and the Modern Woman's List of Things to Do Before Hitting 30. Funny and delightful' Aubrey Davis, Arches Book Company, Moab, UT, in the Book Sense (American Booksellers Association) Pick for May 2006

Real-Life Parenting Stories

  • I'm putting together real-life stories about the first year of mothering. Click on the blue link above to read the whole archive.
    If you'd like to send me a story yourself, I'd love to read it: either add your story as a comment or write to me directly at Sarah DOT Bilston AT Yahoo DOT com. Don't worry about grammar, this doesn't have to be a work of art! I'm just interested in hearing other people's experiences of, for example, - Colic - Sleep Deprivation - Mother's (or father's, or sister's) interference - Managing a marriage and a new baby - Mixed feelings about going back to work - The best thing about having a brand new baby.

Sleepless Nights - The Story Behind

  • The story behind the story:
    Sleepless Nights is partly about my own experience adapting to being a mother. I have three children now, so I like to think I know what I'm doing... But when my first child came along I was completely, utterly clueless. I already had a job, I had a house, I was turned thirty; I was supposed to be a proper grown-up. But when my daughter came along I was thrown. I remember in the hospital praying that the nurse would keep on changing my daughter because I couldn't figure out which way round the diapers went. And it went on from there... So the novel is partly about the millions of small surprises, and partly about the 'bigger' issues most of us face - like, how on earth can I still have a life of my own and be a good mommy?
