Description

From one of Australias most celebrated authors comes a mother-daughter drama exploring the faultlines between love and control.

Shortlisted for the 2022 Miles Franklin Literary Award

One hundred days. Its no time at all, she tells me. But shes not the one waiting.

In a heady whirlwind of independence, lust and defiance, sixteen-year-old Karuna falls pregnant. Not on purpose, but not entirely by accident, either. Incensed, Karunas mother, already over-protective, confines her to their fourteenth-storey housing-commission flat, to keep her safe from the outside world - and make sure she cant get into any more trouble.

Stuck inside for endless hours, Karuna battles her mother and herself for a sense of power in her own life, as a new life forms and grows within her. As the due date draws ever closer, the question of who will get to raise the baby - who it will call Mum - festers between them.

One Hundred Days is a fractured fairytale exploring the fault lines between love and control. At times tense and claustrophobic, it is nevertheless brimming with humour, warmth and character. It is a magnificent new work from one of Australias most celebrated writers.

The tale of mothers and daughters the world over, this is truly fiction at its fiercest. It is a masterpiece, a triumph. --Maxine Beneba Clarke

Pungs command as a writer is astonishing, elating. I adore this book.--Christos Tsiolkas

One Hundred Days will break your heart and, in the masterful hands of Alice Pung, put it back together. This is a moving, page-turning, emotional rollercoaster of a novel filled with searing observations, humor, and compassion. I absolutely loved it. --Tracey Lien

Subtle, difficult, lovely, and gorgeously written. --Kirkus
