Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'Wild Iris is wonderfully inventive, by turns grim as a Belfast Sunday and raucous as a Dublin Saturday night. Ruth McKee writes with dash and daring, and the result is a funny, moving and vastly entertaining novel. Chapeau!' John Banville Set over an Easter weekend, Wild Iris follows Eve as she enters a psychological crisis: will she reconnect with an old lover, or end her life? We stay with Eve over the course of a day-her 42nd birthday-and into the night, as the past bubbles into the present. As a child Eve is anxious and lonely, but with a rich interior world, fascinated by language. She is raised by Gerty, a strict, taciturn Presbyterian, which only adds to her feeling of being out of place: everyone seems to have a template for living but her. Then she meets Louise and their intense friendship lasts into university, when Johnny arrives on the scene and splinters their trust. At Eve's 21st birthday party, home from a night of drinking and drugs, a tragedy happens that will shape the rest of Eve's life. AUTHOR: Ruth McKee is based in Skerries, Co. Dublin. Her short fiction has been selected for New Irish Writing and twice shortlisted for the Hennessy Literary Awards. She is Editor of Books Ireland and the host of the popular podcast Burning Books. She holds a PhD from Trinity College Dublin. She was awarded an Arts Council of Ireland Agility Award in 2024, 2022 & 2021. We follow Eve from her childhood as a foster child in Northern Ireland to her wild student days to middle-aged disillusionment and depression in Dublin where the past overwhelms her.
