Fiona Kelly McGregor evokes 1940s Sydney in stark and startling detail, drawing the reader into a world of corruption and forbidden desires. With an ever-growing back catalogue of cult classics, they return to Sydney’s underground with The Trap, a blistering, standalone companion to the bestselling Iris, which was shortlisted for numerous prizes including the Miles Franklin Award, NSW Premier's Award, Stella Prize, ALS Gold Medal and more.
Based on a shocking real-life scandal, The Trap 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.
In conversation with the brilliant Beejay Silcox.
Fiona Kelly McGregor has published nine books, most recently the novel The Trap. Its prequel, Iris, was shortlisted for the Miles Franklin Award.
Beejay Silcox is a book critic. Beyond the page, Beejay is a joyful polymath: she's an interviewer, prize judge, editor, manuscript doctor, festival programmer and award-winning creative writing educator.
