Description
The Hong Kong taxi driver has zero interest in taking Anna to another hospital, they’ve already been to two. If he takes her to Kowloon, which requires going through the traffic-ridden Cross Harbour Tunnel, she will likely give birth in the back seat. Neither of them wants this.
Granted, many women's birth plans don't resemble their actual experiences but Anna seems to take this to the extreme. Between no available hospital rooms, a missing husband, walking miles home from the hospital, to her newborn son turning purple, Anna's child-birthing stories soon become dinner party entertainment lore. In these short stories, Anna revisits the events surrounding her children's births with a new perspective; perhaps these stories weren’t funny at all. What she discovers in this honest account is the truth of unprocessed wounds she must finally confront in order to heal.
