Publisher's summary

WINNER OF THE 2023 FOGARTY AWARD

Meg's life is woven into the fabric of St. Stephens. It's a tapestry made of two precious children, a hidden truth, and a husband whose ideas of a perfect wife do not match her own. When Meg puts her foot down on a third kid, gets a job, and is empowered by the same book group that was meant to keep her in her place, her marriage begins to disintegrate. Set in a tiny Mormon community, this is a novel about resilience and courage – the fierceness of mother-love and the power that comes with never forgetting who you really are.

‘The Skeleton House won the 2023 Fogarty Literary Award and deservedly so … [it] is nuanced and raw.' The Australian

‘The Skeleton House is a story brimming with tension, desperation and heartbreak, told with a poetic assuredness. Allum is an exciting new literary voice.' Books+Publishing

‘Once I started The Skeleton House, I was so absorbed, I just kept reading. A great novel about women's lives and so relatable … my favourite type of novel. I'm sure this book will be a real hit … it deserves to be.' Jenny, Early Bird Reviewer, Good Reading

‘Reading The Skeleton House is like swallowing a seed that settles deep in your gut, quietly germinating until it twists and unfurls and nestles within you, long after you've consumed it. I can't wait to see what's next from Allum.' WritingWA
