Paperback. Condition: New. I am the worst person in the world.Bad mother. Bad lover. Bad worker. Bad woman. Bad friend .  An exploration of motherdom and ego, culture and art, love and pain, The Sea in the Metro tells the story of a new mother in Paris trying to make it work - and failing. What happens when the control you thought you had over your life is usurped by your nature?   Jayne was raised to believe she could have everything. Child, career, relationship, even a life in Paris. So why does she feel like a monster? As her ego wars with her natural instincts, Jayne searches for answers in friendship, the city, memories of her late mother, art, writing and New Wave films . and finds only more questions.
