Her clients include an aristocratic woman going through an intense infertility drama, an American journalist who is eager to have a baby and is on the lookout for a potential father, and an irritable divorce who likes to taunt Mira about her Serbian nationality." "As their stories unfold and time passes, Mira discovers she is not as distant from her patients' pain as she might once have been: Her husband, Peter, struggles with illness, NATO's threats against her country grow more serious, and submerged truths from her own past seem likely to erupt." "Complex and always deeply human, The Delivery Room is an examination of the incomplete understandings that course between therapist and patient, and a set of variations on the theme of motherhood. It is also a timely meditation on the meanings of wars fought from a distance, when ordinary citizens have to measure their personal griefs against the outrages experienced by those under attack."--BOOK JACKET.
