Description

Two women abduct and hide out with their four-year-old granddaughter Avery, who they suspect is being harmed. They both love Avery ... shame they cant stand each other. A wise and witty novel for readers of Sophie Green and Brooke Davis. What would you do to protect a child? Beths daughter Cleo and Shirleys son Daniel used to be married. Now Cleo is in gaol for supposedly contravening a family violence order, and Daniel has full-time care of their four-year-old daughter, Avery. When Shirley suspects that Daniel is harming Avery, she enlists Beth to abduct their own granddaughter, even though the two women cant stand each other. They are joined on the run across country Victoria by Winnie, Shirleys own 89-year-old tech-savvy mother, and Harthacnut, Beths miniature schnauzer. The abduction gives rise to crises both personal and social, as Shirleys large and interfering family - including her toxic son - struggle to come to terms with her actions, amid a whirl of police investigation and media excitement. This heartfelt, wise, witty and wholly original novel explores the lengths we may go to for those we love, and the unintended damage folded into daily life. fantastic, fresh and unexpected - Cassie Hamer, author of After the Party combines controversy and compassion - Olivia Wearne, author of The Grand Tour I loved this story of womens lives - many different ages and kinds of women - and its deep, compassionate understanding of ordinary life forced to become extraordinary. I laughed over and over as Evans sharp wit brought her characters to vivid life - Pamela Hart, author of Digging Up Dirt
