Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Marie King is fifty-nine, recently divorced, and has lived a rather conventional life on Sydney's affluent north shore. Now her three children have moved out, the family home is to be sold, and with it will go her beloved garden.Marie King is fifty-nine, recently divorced, and has lived a rather conventional life on Sydney's affluent north shore. Now her three children have moved out, the family home is to be sold, and with it will go her beloved garden.On a drunken whim, Marie gets a tattoo - an act that gives way to an unexpected friendship with her tattoo artist, Rhys. Before long, Rhys has introduced Marie to a side of the city that clashes with her staid north-shore milieu. Her children are mortified by their mother's transformation, but have their own challenges to deal with: workplace politics; love affairs old and new; and, of course, the real-estate market.Written with Fiona McGregor's incisive wit and keen eye, Indelible Ink uses one family as a microcosm for the changes operating in society at large. In its piercing examination of the way we live now, it is truly a novel for our times.'The richest and most complete evocation of Sydney since Patrick White's The Vivisector.'

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Sergeant Lillian Armfield leans forward.What about Black Ada's, Webber? I know you two went there. What sort of people go there?Iris smiles.The sort of people you coppers like to bash.In late 1932, Iris Webber arrives in Sydney looking for work but the city is still in the grip of the Depression and there are few jobs for women at the best of times. She makes her way as best she can: a scam here, a shoplift there, busking with an accordion. And she knows how to use a gun.When Iris meets young sex worker Maisie Matthews, everything changes. But what options are there in a world where even on the margins, queer desire is harshly punished? The only way forward is paved with violence.Whip smart, resolute, a woman far ahead of her time, Iris navigates these mean streets with a growing awareness not just of herself, but also of the system enclosing her: narrow, corrupt, brutally prejudiced. Yet there is still joy to be had, sometimes even transcendence.From acclaimed best-selling author of Indelible Ink comes another great novel of the city. Peeling back the layers of history, McGregor weaves a teeming social portrait of schemers, gamblers, goodtime girls, gangsters and sly-groggers. Based on actual events, narrated in gritty lyrical prose, Iris is a dazzling literary achievement from one of Australia's most exciting writers. Iris's voice will hypnotise you.SHORTLISTED FOR THE MILES FRANKLIN LITERARY AWARD 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE 2023 NSW PREMIER'S LITERARY AWARDS CHRISTINA STEAD PRIZE FOR FICTIONSHORTLISTED FOR THE ALS GOLD MEDAL 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE ARA HISTORICAL NOVEL PRIZE ADULT CATEGORY 2023SHORTLISTED FOR THE VOSS LITERARY PRIZE 2023LONGLISTED FOR THE STELLA PRIZE 2023LONGLISTED FOR THE ABDA BOOK DESIGN AWARDS 2023 BEST DESIGNED LITERARY FICTION COVERLONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKPEOPLE ADULT FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023PRAISE FOR IRIS'The story of Iris had to be told, and Fiona Kelly McGregor has produced the roughest but most invaluable diamond.'

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Sydney, October 1942. A wartime city dimmed by brownouts, flush with American cash, rotten with corruption.For nightclub manager Ray Sayles, a fateful encounter in the Domain turns him into a police target. He's plunged into a system where the rich are untouchable but the marginalised - like notorious queer sly-grogger Iris Webber - are relentlessly targeted, and bent coppers hunt ordinary men whose only crime is desire.Based on a shocking real-life scandal, The Trap is a blistering, standalone companion to the best-selling Iris. By turns tender and excoriating, it exhumes the hidden history of a city in which the law is a weapon wielded against those deemed deviant - and the most unforgivable vice is the truth.
