Deliver Me is a 2023 novel by British-American author Elle Nash. It discusses motherhood under capitalism, how society treats pregnancy, reduction of women to reproductive functions, and mental illness. Nash states the novel took two weeks to plan and eleven weeks to write the first draft.[1]
Nash states her time living in the American south, specifically northern Arkansas, helped inspire the book.[2][3] The specific inspiration Nash states was Dynel Lane's 2015 crime that occured while she was living in Colorado.[3][2][4][5][6][1] Dynel Lane attacked a 7-month pregnant Michelle Wilkins and removing her fetus, then pretended to be pregnant for nine months.[7][8][9] Nash additionally cites the story of Lisa Montgomery who murdered and cut out the fetus of 8-month pregnant Bobbie Stinnett, and the experience of working while she was pregnant herself.[6][10]
The novel is structured in three parts labeled each one to third trimester accompanying an image of a fetus that grows smaller.[4]
