Enter the GoodReads giveaway for Mass Mothering by Sarah Bruni. A. is an amateur translator trying to survive alone in a harsh, late‑capitalist city.

At night, she loses herself on the dance floor, seeking fleeting moments of connection. That’s where she meets N., who mirrors her emotional numbness and occasionally shares her bed.
While sifting through N.’s sparse belongings, A. discovers a slim book about a distant town where young boys have begun to vanish. Titled Field Notes, it chronicles a group of mothers who gather to grieve their missing sons, their voices blending into a powerful collective lament. A. becomes captivated by their raw sorrow, their fierce resilience, and the instinctive ways they care for one another. When a near‑assault jolts her out of her drifting life, she travels to the town where Field Notes originated, hoping to find its author and the conclusion to his story. Instead, her search uncovers the remnants of a murdered poet, a mysterious woman whose life and legacy will intertwine with A.’s in unexpected and transformative ways.
Told through layered voices, fragments, and testimonies, Mass Mothering is a deeply humane exploration of shared grief, the lingering impact of violence in a globalized world, and the extraordinary, world‑shaping power of a mother’s love.
