Trying to use the services I pay, my current audiobook is The Hush. It's part of Audible Plus so I can listen to it without using a credit. The first chapter was really intriguing. I'm really hoping it's good.

I listened to the audiobook and believe it enhanced the story!

England, the near future. An increasing number of babies are not surviving beyond birth, and now young women are disappearing (along w basic human rights). Conspiracy theories are flying & are far closer to the truth than imagineable. 17-yr-old Lanie soon finds herself a target, and her midwife mother must confront the horrors ahead w help from a brilliant group of women.

steph_phanie Wanted to add: My only complaint is that we were not given a glimpse of the resolution of the larger societal issues. The reader must be content in only knowing how our main characters fare. 2y

Not sure how I came to be reading this book 🤔. The writer is from the UK & lives in Western Australia. She is doing her PHD at the same uni my kids attend, 10 minutes down the road. She‘s written other bestsellers. Has anyone read them?

I really enjoyed this speculative fiction, full of female characters and with a YA, handmaid‘s tale vibe. I did have to suspend judgement at times, but it wasn‘t too hard. I happily went along for the ride 😁.
