A single mother wakes to blood in her mouth and flesh under her fingernails. A severed toe on the doorstep. A boy missing. But her child needs to get to school. There’s a food shop to be done. Parents evenings, play dates and pasta for tea. Raising her child alone, she’s done all she can to protect them. But what if she’s the thing they need protecting from the most?
In an unyielding struggle to maintain a semblance of normalcy, the mother in Kate’s debut novel must navigate the everyday struggles of parenting against an unnerving backdrop of secrecy. Kate's unflinching debut novel confronts the relationship between mothering and mental health, opening an important discussion on the pressures and expectations facing mothers everywhere.
This event will see Kate and Maxine dive into the human psyche as they dissect the complexities of love, parenting and gender. This event is a unique opportunity to gain exclusive insight into Kate’s writing process, as well as an occasion to engage in Kate and Maxine’s captivating conversation as they explore their wide ranging work as writers and creators and uncover the mysteries of This Is Where We Live.
