A fascinating page turner.’  \nGillian Armstrong AM, director of the movie My Brilliant Career  \n‘Miles Franklin Undercover examines Franklin’s fears, frustrations and fierce determination to speak her own truth with intelligence and compassion. How I wish I had known her. Davies’ riveting book is the next best thing. I feel I know her intimately.’  \nJane Caro AM, Walkley award–winning Australian columnist, novelist, feminist  \n‘Evocative and richly drawn, this sparkling book shows us a side to the great literary heroine that is darker and even more interesting than many Australians know. Kerrie Davies draws a textured picture of early 20thcentury literary Australia, and sharply conjures the creative struggle of the woman-artist, torn between social expectation and a yen for adventure. I loved it.’  \nJacqueline Maley, journalist and author of The Truth About Her  \n‘The inspiring account of a woman whose name we all know but whose life has remained a mystery to many of us. Heartbreaking and heartwarming in turn, Miles Franklin Undercover is a triumph of enthralling storytelling,  \npainting a picture of a woman of incredible courage and resilience that led the way for every Australian female writer to come.’  \nSue Williams, author of The Governor, His Wife and His Mistress  \n‘A captivating read—Miles comes alive.’  \nBrigitta Olubas, author of Shirley Hazzard:A Writing Life  \nFirst published in 2025  \nCopyright © Kerrie Davies 2025  \nAll rights reserved.
