Mother Fault
In a futuristic world, danger awaits... if you loved THE LAST and THE HANDMAID’S TALE you will love this!
To keep her children safe, she must put their lives at risk ...
In suburban Australia, Mim and her two children live as quietly as they can. Around them, a near-future world is descending into chaos: government officials have taken absolute control, but not everybody wants to obey the rules.
When Mim’s husband Ben mysteriously disappears, Mim realises that she and her children are in great danger. Together, they must set off on the journey of a lifetime to find Ben. The government are trying to track them down, but Mim will do anything to keep her family safe – even if it means risking all their lives.
Can the world ever return to normality, and their family to what it was?
A beautifully written dystopian thriller that is eerily right for our times, for fans of THE LAST, Margaret Atwood, and Jane Harper.

It is set in Australia which is now run by “The Department” and everyone is chipped when born. If you defy “The Department” you do so at your peril.
Mim’s husband Ben has disappeared, he can’t be tracked and after being questioned she has to surrender her passport and has been threatened that her children will be taken into care. She is being watched in case he gets in touch with her.
She is scared for her husband, herself and her children. She has no option but to run.
The premise of this book is great, however, I questioned Mim’s actions a lot. Not only going on the run in the first place because she was in danger either way but throughout the book, I was wondering how she actually felt about the husband she was supposed to love and be looking for because her actions didn’t really portray the love.
I also felt that the ending was abrupt and I was left with many questions which unless there is a book 2 in the works I will be left wondering about.
