Summary | Sixteen and pregnant, Karuna finds herself trapped in her mother's Melbourne public housing apartment awaiting the birth of her child-and her mother's next move in a shocking power struggle over who will raise the baby. To fill the seemingly endless hours of her imprisonment, she writes to her unborn child, determined that her baby will know the truth, no matter what happens. As the birth approaches, Karuna and her mother repeatedly trip the fault lines between love and control. And somehow, despite their battles, Karuna recognizes her mother's love in even the strangest of behaviours. |
