The plan was to document, in real time, what it means to be a parent in Britain today. But when her son was born five weeks early, she found herself catapulted into parenthood: a world of crushing love, and fear, and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDrawn from Cosslett's agenda-setting \u003cem\u003eGuardian \u003c\/em\u003ecolumn and beautifully illustrated by Pia Bramley, \u003cem\u003eThe Republic of Parenthood\u003c\/em\u003e is a fearless account of the first years of this new life. From Rachel Cusk to Anne Enright, many seminal writers have tackled the subject but, as a new generation become parents, Cosslett uses razor-sharp honesty and great humour to explore the unique challenges they face. \u003cem\u003eThe Republic of Parenthood\u003c\/em\u003e wrestles with the entire joyful, overwhelming, messy experience, whether writing about the impact of Britain's catastrophic childcare system, or the quest for the pair of socks that can withstand a persistent toddler's best efforts. At its heart is the understanding that something so entirely personal is also political; a paeon to love and pain, and one that will resonate with weary parents everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRhiannon Lucy Cosslett is a journalist and writer.
