Set in the seemingly perfect suburb of Greengully, The Mother of All Calamities follows four women whose polished public lives are starting to crack. Lisa Moule writes with warmth, wit and a keen eye for the absurdities of modern parenting, capturing the tensions, loyalties and private struggles simmering beneath school pick-ups and neighbourhood chatter.
Funny, perceptive and emotionally astute, this is contemporary Australian fiction that looks past curated appearances to the messier truths underneath. A strong pick for readers drawn to character-driven stories about family, friendship, secrets and the uneasy performance of suburban life.
For fans of
Liane Moriarty, Sally Hepworth, Kylie Orr, Megan Rogers, sharply observed Australian suburban fiction.
