Synopsis
A poetic memoir of the writer's pregnancy and the birth of her daughter, Rose, this is a magical journal of joy, pain and the hope of parenthood. From Carole Maso this is a working journal of her pregnancy. "The Room Lit by Roses" delineates the months leading up to the birth of Rose, the long-awaited daughter born to Maso and her partner, Helen. In the early months, when Maso is beset by the worry that the child will be lost, her journal becomes a meditation on art and life. Maso becomes more confident as the baby reaches the second trimester: "We are flying, as the finishing touches are applied. The eyelids close over the eyes by the ninth week and temporarily seal them like a kitten's. They will remain closed until the sixth month".
