Summary
"From one of Australia's most celebrated authors comes a powerful mother-daughter drama that explores the fault lines between love and control, My Year of Rest and Relaxation meets Freshwater"--
Sixteen, Karuna's pregnancy is the result of a heady act of independence, lust, and defiance that happened in a moment of freedom from her overprotective mother. Now she is trapped in her mother's Melbourne public housing apartment for one hundred days awaiting the birth of her child. To fill the seemingly endless hours of her imprisonment, she writes to her unborn child, determined that her baby will know the truth, no matter what happens.
