This extraordinary biography of Robin Hyde (Iris Wilkinson), a prolific journalist, poet, and novelist, is a gripping and moving story of a short and doomed writer's life. It is a densely packed narrative that includes appalling accounts of hidden pregnancies, experience as a single mother, dependence on drugs, sexism, poverty, mental breakdown, deep friendships, and hurtful betrayals. Hyde is revealed as a feisty, witty, and courageous woman rather than the languid and sentimental adolescent who has often been laughed at by contemporary male writers.
