Description
The lives and struggles of three generations of Australian women from the multi-award-winning Rod Jones, author of Julia Paradise and Billy Sunday.
The Mothers goes from a 1917 secret pregnancy, to a 1952 Salvation Army home for unmarried mothers, to a 1975 liberal couple's life set against the sacking of the Whitlam government.
The Mothers is a book about secrets. It interweaves the intimate lives of three generations of Australian women who learn it's the stories we can't tell that continue to shape us and make us who we are.
