Product Description

Delicious, funny and touching final installment of Emma Hamilton's struggles to become a mother. Just as Emma and her husband James become parents of eight-month-old Russian baby, Yuri, they also find out that Emma is pregnant. Emma discovers that having her dreams come true brings a whole new set of problems as she is faced with well-meaning friends and family – and not-so-well-meaning maternity nazis – telling her how to be a mother. Only her wonderful calm long-suffering husband, a mad family that makes her look like the down-to-earth sensible one, and fantastic friends whose lives are even crazier than her own, keep Emma from losing it, and in the end she comes through with her usual mix of humour, good-natured hysteria and real heart.

Customer Reviews

A lovely Read
I have read all three of Sinead Moriarty's books about Emma and her husband, James's quest to try to become parents. Whilst this could have been a maudlin subject, the way it was dealt with was both funny and touchingly heartwarming. I loved hearing about her dysfunctional family and all her friends. I feel as though both Emma and James have become personal friends. I almost wanted to send presents to the babies!

Easy reading and enjoyable
I really enjoyed this book from start to finish, laughing and crying along the way. Ok, so it wasn't as good as the previous books in this series. BUT if you have been following Emma and James on their journey towards parenthood, this is a perfect ending. It's a great feel good book.

Not as good as the first two books
"From Here to Maternity" is the third book following the trails of Emma and James Hamilton as they try to have their own family. While I loved "The Baby Trail and liked "The Right Fit" by this third book I was sorry that I had paid for the hardback. With each book, Emma seem to her charm that made her such a great character. So,while "From Here to Maternity" was a decent book, it was not worth the hardback price.
