Publisher's summary

Everything can change in a heartbeat....

The pulse-pounding new thriller from the best-selling author of You Don’t Know Me

Lainey’s friend Ellis is missing. And she’s not the only one.

In the six months since the first case of a terrifying new epidemic - when a healthy baby wouldn’t take a breath at birth - the country has been thrown into turmoil. The government has passed sweeping new laws to monitor all citizens. And several young pregnant women have vanished without trace.

As a midwife, Lainey’s mum, Emma, is determined to be there for those who need her. But when 17-year-old Lainey finds herself in trouble, this dangerous new world becomes very real. The one person who might help is Emma’s estranged mother, but reaching out to her will put them all in jeopardy....

The Hush is a new breed of near-future thriller, an unflinching look at a society close to tipping point and a story for our times, highlighting the power of female friendship through a dynamic group of women determined to triumph against the odds.

Trigger Warning: Still birth

The description does mention it but only fleetingly. There is a LOT of heart wrenching description of the lost little ones (not gory, just sweet and sad).
Has a Handmaid’s Tale feel to it.

great read

Riveting...had me on the edge of my seat. In these times, I can actually see this happening. Scary to think about what we just agree to without thinking.

Solid dystopian novel

Good book. I love dystopia novels, and this was a good one. I think she could've made this into a series. There were a lot of points that could've been deeper

Excellent

This is a very thought provoking read. At least it was for me, in lieu of all that's going on in our world today. It caused me to look deeper inside for meaning for some of the bizarre, unrealistic laws that have been forced into place in n this past year.

I look forward to seeing more from her. She is very talented and insightful. Good job!

Intriguing from the first chapter

First book that has inspired me as a writer. Well done. You are the first writer that I immediately wished I could meet. I hope you continue with your craft.

Modern Handmaid’s take!

I had no idea what this book was about when I found it, and I am so glad I spent the time to listen to it.
Another brave author talking about the ways in which women’s rights are constantly being challenged.
