One Hundred Days by Alice Pung

5.0

This book has allowed me to reimagine what is possible in Australian fiction. Alice Pung has managed to write two characters (a mother and her pregnant 16 year old daughter) orbiting around each other in their commission flat, speak to generations of second generation families in Melbourne. So very Western suburbs of Melbs, so touching, so perceptive. If this doesn't win the Stella I will be shocked/disappointed.
