Description

A Home Like Ours is a timely audiobook exploring prejudice and privilege from best-selling Australian author Fiona Lowe.

Tara Hooper is at breaking point. With two young children, a business in a town struggling under an unexpected crime wave and her husband more interested in his cricket team than their marriage, life is a juggling act. Then, when new neighbours arrive and they are exactly the sort of people the town doesn't want or need, things get worse.

Life has taught Helen Demetriou two things: being homeless is terrifying and survival means keeping your cards close to your chest. Having clawed back some stability through her involvement in the community garden, she dares to relax. But as she uncovers some shady goings-on in the council, that stability turns to quicksand.

For teenage mother Jade Innes, life can be lonely among the judgement of the town and the frequent absences of her boyfriend. A chance encounter draws her into the endangered community garden where she makes friends for the first time. Glimpsing a different way of life is enticing but its demands are terrifying. Does she even deserve to try?

Can these women with such differing loyalties unite to save the garden and ultimately stop the town from tearing itself apart?

Love this book

This is definitely a book that I could listen to again. The story is completely engaging and the narrator is excellent. I binge listened to this story, and finished it in a few days while working on a quilting project.
I love all of Fiona Lowe's novels, but I think this is her best so far. I love how she weaves difficult topics into her novels.
I felt like I knew all three of the main characters, and enjoyed watching them develop into stronger and more confident women.
As for the cover... gorgeous. Even if the author's name did not entice me to read this book, the cover would have convinced me to pick it up.
