Stella, adopted at birth, moves from England to Canada following the death of her adoptive parents and the discovery that her live-in boyfriend is gay. On the plane to Toronto she meets Madeleine, whose offer of help to this young and nave stranger ushers in a remarkable series of events for both women-almost all of which, it transpires, revolve around a woman they do not know they share a deep connection to: Iris Parker.

Intertwining the family sagas of each of its main characters, Uncovering Iris lifts the lid on each of their lives and the circumstances that have shaped them. Spanning many generations of families in twentieth-century Canada, the novel pays particular attention to the fates of women in a dangerously patriarchal world.

These are just some of the questions asked and explored in this engaging first novel....
