- Synopsis
- You will not recognise me, she thinks, when I find you . . . Mim&’s husband is missing. No one knows where Ben is, but everyone wants to find him – especially The Department. And they should know, the all-seeing government body has fitted the entire population with a universal tracking chip to keep them &‘safe&’. But suddenly Ben can&’t be tracked. And Mim is questioned, made to surrender her passport and threatened with the unthinkable – her two children being taken into care at the notorious BestLife. Cornered, Mim risks everything to go on the run to find her husband – and a part of herself, long gone, that is brave enough to tackle the journey ahead. From the stark backroads of the Australian outback to a terrifying sea voyage, Mim is forced to shuck off who she was – mother, daughter, wife, sister – and become the woman she needs to be to save her family and herself. &‘Sublime . . . With its superb storytelling and capacity to spark reflection on the way we live, this timely, riveting, warning bell of a book can be confidently recommended.&’ Books+Publishing &‘A shattering lightning bolt of a book.&’ Karen Viggers, author of The Lightkeeper&’s Wife &‘A clarion call, wrapped in vivid prose, inside a truly thrilling read&’ Angela Savage, author of Mother of Pearl and Behind the Night Bazaar &‘Shook me to my core.

Pomare, author of Call Me Evie and In the Clearing &‘With The Mother Fault Mildenhall has achieved that rare thing – a book that at once tackles the big issues and is an addictive page-turner.&’ Melanie Cheng, author of Australia Day and Room for a Stranger &‘Compelling and deeply human.
