A Dangerous Daughter is a work of literary fiction. It is both a coming-of-age story and a tale of survival. Ivy, the novel’s protagonist, is a teenage girl living in Australia in the 1950s. She develops a mysterious illness which is unnamed and unknown. In a bid to save her life, Ivy is exiled from her family and sent across the continent to WA. There she struggles against ‘The Voice’ which tells her not to eat and almost destroys her. Until the disease is named as anorexia nervosa, Ivy is blamed and shamed. It is only through psychoanalysis that she gains strength and insight, and is able to forge a new identity.
