Mothers and Daughters by Kylie Ladd
3.0
Friends Morag, Fiona, and Caro along with their daughters Janey, Bronte and Mary were all looking forward to spending a week with their friend, Amira and her daughter Tess. Amira and Tess lived about two hours north of Broome where Amira worked as a teacher in an aboriginal school.
As days go by the holiday that should've been relaxing and fun soon turns into the complete opposite. And being in a remote area like Lombadina wasn't making it any easier with no mobile phone or internet reception. And at night the girls couldn't go out as there was nowhere like nightclubs to visit. Friendships were strained to say the least and the mothers were driven to their limits by their moody teenage daughters.
I was looking forward to reading this book, but unfortunately I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I was going to. I did enjoy the setting and I did enjoy reading about the aboriginal community. The amount of swear words used in this book is what really put me off. I feel there are many words that could've been applied instead of the ones that were used throughout this story, but in saying that I'm sure this book will be enjoyed by many.
