Cassandra Austin is the author of three novels and describes herself as a homesick Australian who lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two children. Before deciding to pursue a career in writing, she worked as a criminologist and a documentary film-maker. Cassandra's new novel "Like Mother" (Penguin), is a captivating and compelling addition to a growing body of work known as "domestic noir". "Like Mother" takes a deep dive into motherhood through the eyes of a mother and daughter during the events of one terrible day in 1969 small town Australia. I was delighted to welcome Cassandra to the podcast earlier this year.
