Australian author Kate Mildenhall’s new novel imagines a near future as terrifying as Margaret Atwood’s Gilead, and just as familiar. Here all about the riveting tale of one woman taking on the world to save her own in The Mother Fault.

Mim’s husband Ben is missing and 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’.

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.
