How far would you go to create a life?

In Emma Neale’s Maybe Baby, a grieving widower takes part in an experimental medical trial to honour his late wife and raise the child they longed for.

In Elisabeth Easther’s Seed, four interlinked women navigate the complexities of fertility, pregnancy and choice as they experience how to get pregnant, stay pregnant, or avoid it altogether.

They join Anna Rawhiti-Connell to discuss how they conceived their bold novels that tackle the emotional, ethical and rarely straightforward journey of bringing new life into the world today.
