The accident

McMahon, Katie E.2022
Book
In this psychological drama set in middle-class Hobart, the intersecting stories of three women move inexorably towards an event that will change their lives: the accident. Told from multiple points of view, The Accident unfolds around the complex events leading up to a traffic accident outside a Hobart school. In this insightful, witty, sharply observed novel, the author of the critically acclaimed The Mistake explores the ways in which our formative years shape our future. Katie McMahon reveals the inner and everyday lives of three women whose worlds are linked through shared - but not always obvious - connections to friends, family and lovers. Through their relationships and their actions, The Accident explores the resonating influence of first love and unrequited love, and contrasts loneliness and social rejection with the healing power of friendship.
