For readers of Emilia Hart's Weyward and Robbie Arnott's Dusk, Milkweed is a haunting and propulsive contemporary gothic novel by a dazzling new voice, Alex Swan.

Emma gets only a month with her newborn daughter before the little girl is taken off life support. She retreats to her grandmother's remote cottage in the Snowy Mountains, to nurse her grief instead of her child.

At first Emma finds catharsis in her isolation, spending her days tending to the overgrown garden. But soon she starts to feel another presence in the tiny cabin; at night, she swears she can hear a baby's cry, or feel soft warm breath on her neck.

Alone and afraid, Emma is left questioning whether grief is playing tricks on her fragile mind. But is it possible that something darker has taken root in the empty space left behind by loss?

'Beautifully written. . . Brave and frightening and real' - Kaaron Warren, author of The Underhistory
