AWW21 The Mother Fault - Kate Mildenhall
The world shifted slowly, then so fast, while they watched but didn\u2019t see.
\nIn Kate Mildenhall\u2019s compulsive The Mother Fault, Mim\u2019s comfortable, micro-chipped life in suburban Melbourne and her assumptions about the neutrality of the omniscient Department are upended when her husband Ben goes missing while working in Indonesia. Set in a near future and very recognisable Australia, The Mother Fault is at once a literary thriller, a family drama and a riveting exploration of the consequences of a passive population and the costs \u2013 and rewards \u2013 of fighting back.
