Marie King is a 59-year-old divorc'e from Sydney's affluent north shore. Having devoted her rather conventional life to looking after her husband and three children ' who have now all departed the family home ' she is experiencing something of an identity crisis, especially as she must now sell the family home and thus lose her beloved garden. On a folly she gets a tattoo. Marie forges a friendship with her tattoo artist, Rhys, who introduces her to an alternative side of Sydney from that to which Marie is accustomed. Through their burgeoning connection, Marie's two worlds collide causing great friction within Marie's family and with her circle of rich friends. With echoes of Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections and Christos Tsiolkas's The Slap, Indelible Ink is a multi-layered examination of how we live now, in which one family becomes a microcosm for the changes operating in society at large.

"A stunning book, a novel that addresses our world and our time with an acute and ferocious acumen. There is also tenderness here and there is wisdom." --Christos Tsiolkas, Commonwealth Writers' prize-winner, "The Slap"

Fiona McGregor is the author of the works of fiction Au Pair, shortlisted for The Australian/Vogel Award; Suck My Toes, winner of the Steele Rudd Award; and Chemical Palace, shortlisted for the NSW Premier's Award for fiction. Fiona has also written a travel memoir, Strange Museums.
