But this is the reality for a whole generation of women who, generous and yet overworked, solve the problems as best they can and efficiently request government subsidies which are scarce, if not unobtainable. “And what can one do?” I asked myself, having a difficult mother and an enormous family, after having an anxiety attack. Well, the answer you’ll find spelt out for you in this book.
