Acclaimed and bestselling literary novelist Fiona Kelly McGregor dives into the criminal underground of 1930s Sydney and the life of petty criminal, prostitute and murderer Iris.
Who is Iris Webber?
A thief, a fighter, a wife, a lover.
A scammer, a schemer, a friend.
A musician, a worker, a big-hearted fool.
A woman who has prevailed against the toughest gangsters of the day, defying police time and again, yet is now trapped in a prison cell.
Guilty or innocent?
Rollicking through the underbelly of 1930s sly-grog Sydney, Iris is a dazzling literary achievement from one of Australia’s finest writers. Based on actual events and set in an era of cataclysmic change, here is a fierce, fascinating tale of a woman who couldn’t be held back.
'For a long time now, when people ask me a favourite Australian author, invariably I think and say Fiona McGregor. There is a gutsiness, a splendour and command of language and expression in her writing that thrills me every time I read her.' (on Indelible Ink)
Christos Tsiolkas, award-winning author of The Slap
'A brilliant book for mature readers by a remarkable Australian author, judged by fellow writer Christos Tsiolkas as "one of our finest". Judge for yourself!' (on Indelible Ink)
The Illawarra Mercury
'Readers searching for that rare thing, a contemporary Australian satire, will find it here.' (on Indelible Ink)
