Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. So begins the story of Iris Wilkinson, who wrote poetry, novels and journalism under the pen name Robin Hyde. In January 1938, she left New Zealand for England. On the way, intrigued by glimpses of China, she ventured inland despite the war raging there, becoming one of the first women war correspondents - a feat that was all the more remarkable because she struggled with mental health and suffered a disability that meant she had a lifelong limp. Robin Hyde doesn't tell her story - it is narrated by a loyal but mysterious companion who asks the reader to guess the secret. Iris and Me is an imaginative account of the adventures of one of Aotearoa's most significant writers, presented in a form that Hyde herself would have loved - the verse novel. It was the runner-up for the NZSA Laura Solomon Cuba Press Prize 2022. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
