AWW22 Into Her Own Hands - Jane Caro and Debra Oswald
Chaired by Collette Snowden
\nThe strong female protagonists in Jane Caro\u2019s The Mother and Debra Oswald\u2019s The Family Doctor take matters into their own hands. Debra\u2019s Paula is a dedicated suburban GP, devastated by the murder of a friend and her children by their estranged husband and father. Jane\u2019s Miriam is a successful businesswoman whose life is upended when her daughter\u2019s marriage turns sour. These provocative, urgent novels brim with fury, grief and deep love as they explore what happens when you are tested to the limit, and ask when is it justified to fight fire with fire?
