AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'A multigenerational, female-led thriller, and a terrifying conspiracy that goes right to the heart of the British Government.

'Six months ago, in an English hospital, a healthy baby wouldn't take a breath at birth. Since then there have been more tragedies, and now the country is in turmoil. The government is clamping down on people's freedoms. The prime minister has passed new laws granting authorities sweeping powers to monitor all citizens. And young pregnant women have started going missing.

'As a midwife, Emma is determined to be there for those who need her. But when her seventeen-year-old daughter Lainey finds herself in trouble, this dangerous new world becomes very real, and both women face impossible choices. 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.' (Publication summary)
