Author of 1901 novel My Brilliant Career and namesake to two of Australia’s most prestigious literary prizes – the Stella Prize and the Miles Franklin – Stella Maria Miles Franklin is embedded in our cultural history.
Like many writers before her, Amy Brown takes inspiration from the feminist icon in her captivating debut novel – but instead of telling Franklin’s story, the novel focuses on three women whose lives carry direct and indirect echoes of her: Ida, Linda and Stella.
