0595130356 No Babies. Reviewed by Sienna Powers Once upon a time in the surprisingly not so distant past, it was understood that for a woman to achieve fulfillment she must, at some point in her life, produce at least a small amount of fruit from her womb. Increasingly, with the pressures of career, the passions of personal interests and the pleasures of having a life, women are not universally choosing to have children as a matter of course.
Some women continue to be interested in repopulating the planet.
Others, quite simply, aren't. This choice, or rather the discovery that she can have one, consumes much of Wendy Tokunaga's first novel, No Kidding. The voices got louder and louder. One shouted my name. What narrator Audrey can't understand is her own lack of excitement when the latest office baby is brought in for inspection.
