On this episode of TGE's Current Read, Sam chats to New York Times bestselling author Ashley Audrain, whose #1 bestselling debut, The Push, has not only been translated into a whopping 38 languages since its release, it's also broken countless barriers for millions of mothers across the world.
While we’ve been patiently waiting for the limited television series of The Push to come to fruition, we had the great pleasure of inhaling Ashley’s second novel, The Whispers when it was first released. She joined Sam and Charlene on the line (ahead of The Great Equalizer's milestone 100th episode) to chat about her latest instalment, and all the various insights it has on what it means to be a woman in modern day suburbia…
ABOUT THE WHISPERS:
A propulsive page-turner about four families whose lives are changed when the unthinkable happens – and what is lost when we give in to our own worst impulses...
On Harlow Street, the well-to-do neighborhood couples and their children gather for a catered barbecue as the summer winds down; drinks continue late into the night.
Everything is fabulous until the picture-perfect hostess explodes in fury because her son disobeys her. Everyone at the party hears her exquisite veneer crack – loud and clear. Soon after, that same young boy falls from his bedside window in the middle of the night. And then, his mother can only sit by her son’s hospital bed, where she refuses to speak to anyone, including her best friend who lives across the street.
What follows is the unravelling of four families on this street, as they try to understand what happened that night, and what secrets are being kept between friends and neighbours, ones that connect them all in ways they don’t know.
Exploring envy, women’s friendships, desire, and the intuitions that we silence, The Whispers is a chilling novel that marks Audrain as a major women’s fiction talent.
