Her eighteenth novel, The Pure Gold Baby, explores single motherhood and disability, through the life of anthropologist Jess, who has an affair with a professor that results in ‘pure gold baby’ Anna, a special needs child who will need Jess’s care for the rest of her life, altering its course forever in complex ways.
The Australian declares Drabble – a former editor of the Oxford Companion to English Literature – ‘at the height of her game’ in this ‘adroit’ novel, one that has been compared to her 1965 classic The Millstone.
