Sandwich has a LOT. In a way super lovely and an ode to mothers and women and love. Also hard and ugly and uncomfortable and utterly sad. I think most women will both feel seen and relieved, but also stressed and depressed. It's a really strange book to try and describe. Definitely one I will be thinking about for a while... It could be super triggering; there is a lot about all aspects of the female reproductive system.
