The Hush is a new breed of near-future thriller, an unflinching story of a society at a tipping point, infused with the power of female friendship and the strength of maternal bonds. Featuring a dynamic group of women determined to triumph against the odds, this is a story made for sharing between mothers, daughters, and grandmothers, and all who love them. As an epidemic of stillbirths rocks a country already reeling from years of economic upheaval and the climate crisis, young women begin vanishing without trace. Emma is a midwife on the front line of this unexplained catastrophe, but when her seventeen-year-old daughter Lainey finds herself in trouble, hunted by a new draconian government, this dangerous new world becomes very real.
