How to Survive Five Children

This is the story of my life as a mother of five children, desperately trying to balance family and work. The narrative follows the arc of my life, with a series of adventures and misadventures with babysitters, nannies, au pairs and any kind of help, as well as professional sacrifices, existential and marriage crises and the upheaval of the birth of our fifth child when the others had already grown up.
