Detail Book

Prueksa Mata (Suffering Mother) by Chanwalee Srisukho, winner of the 3rd Chommanard Book Prize, is a deeply insightful non-fiction work exploring the many facets of motherhood. Written from the perspective of an experienced obstetrician, the book shares real-life stories of mothers from diverse backgrounds. Drawing on the metaphor of plants (prueksa), which symbolize life-giving and nurturing forces in nature, the author draws poignant parallels between the roles of plants and mothers. This book not only reflects on the joys and struggles of motherhood but also serves as a psychological guide to understanding and healing the emotional complexities between mothers and children.
