YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE AN UNNATURAL WOMAN : DIARY OF A NEW (OLDER) MOTHER
Book ID/图书代码： 06540004B04397
English Summary/英文概要： Veteran journalist Judith Newman wanted to write the book jacket description for You Make Me Feel Like an Unnatural Woman. She really did. But every time she sat down to describe her unflinching， ruefully funny look at later-life pregnancy and motherhood，something came up. One day，one of her sons，Gus，coughed up a hairball，the result of enjoying a pacifier that had been stuck for several days to the fur of their golden retriever. The next day she had to calm down her other son，Henry，who was convinced his head would be sucked down the bathtub drain. Spending the day shouting YOU HEAD IS BIGGER THAN THE DRAIN is not what she envisioned several years ago，when after seven years and $70，00 worth of infertility treatments，she was told，at forty，she was expecting twins. For this she spent eight months throwing up？
Today the number of women having their first child over thirty-five has increased by a bazillion fold，or some equally scary large number，and Newman is the first to write a book that tells what it’s really like when a trip to the drugstore entails the purchase of both diaper cream and wrinkle cream；when “getting your shots”means both immunization and Botox. You Make Me Feel Like an Unnatural Woman is not only about having children later in life：it’s about what happens to a marriage—and to the spirit，when even the most sought-after baby comes. Wry，warm，and brutally honest，this is the book for any woman—whatever her age—who has awakened at 3AM to the insistent shrieks of her darling and thought：Oh man， I’m too old for this.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 作者Newman花了七年时间外加七万美元，和她六十六岁的先生经历了最先进的受孕科技，终于在四十岁时怀上了一对双胞胎！这本书以时而半真半假时而又极为刻薄的口吻叙述了她妊娠时期以及后来一对双胞胎降临的故事。可以说，刚开始的时候她只感到恐惧，并没觉得有什么爱的感觉。Judith Newman 抛开了过于乐观的想法 ，不带任何感伤情调，大谈特谈那个常常给人甜美感觉的话题----妊娠和第一次做母亲的感觉。这本日记将带领我们走过她极度艰难的怀孕历程，以及与她的双胞胎儿子最初的18个月的生活。她第一眼看到她的新生孩子时脑中就迸出了那句话“如果我帮他们画上眉毛的话，他们也许不会看起来那么怪了。”
目前，35岁之后才怀有第一个孩子的女性人数倍增，Newman第一个拿起笔记录下这些有趣的故事：在商店里同时选购婴儿乳霜和除皱霜、既要购买婴儿免疫食品又要挑选肉毒杆菌……《女人四十才当妈》，这本有趣的书不仅描写了大龄妇女的怀孕历程，也细致入微地体现了婚姻和情感的变化。任何想要当妈或已经当妈的人，都该读读这本诙谐、诚实、百分百贴近生活的书。(RH)
Awards/获奖情况：缺乏幽默感、政治思想过重的读者也许会对Newman 的滑稽古怪的言论大发雷霆，而别人则会看得捧腹大笑，会对着完全不认识的人把书中大段大段的滑稽情节大声地读给他们听。”---《出版人周报》。
