Draped in white and waiting for the lover of her life to arrive and begin their dream life together and start the family she daydreams about, what could possibly go wrong for Hannah? Freya seems pleased that her partner, Ryan’s best mate Jamie is marrying her best friend Hannah, but she’s torn between keeping the peace and tearing it all down.
A car crash in a small wheatbelt town in Western Australia will have devasting consequences for them all and leave the town reeling.
The Accident, the latest book by Fiona Lowe tackles motherhood in modern society and the choices every woman will face in her life, to bear children or not.
“I wanted to explore the question: in the 2020s, what are the choices for women around motherhood,” said Fiona.
“Societal expectations are huge, but whether women choose motherhood or to remain child-free, their choice comes with a great deal of judgement. I also wanted to delve into the moral dilemmas of reproductive technology that a woman can face if she needs assistance to conceive. During my IVF journey, I faced decisions most people never have to make.”
The compelling story explores trust and how well we really know the people in our lives, including the ones we love, and will have readers turning the pages into the small hours of the night.
