They made her fall.
Now watch her rise.

Spend a morning with best-selling fiction author Fiona McIntosh. Celebrate the launch of her new deeply atmospheric historical epic, The Fallen Woman.

Over morning tea, we invite you to be captivated by Fiona’s ability to transport her readers.

As one of Australia’s best-selling fiction authors of all time, with 1.5 million copies sold and over forty titles to her name, Fiona McIntosh continues to go from strength to strength. In 2024 she returns with a new deeply atmospheric historical epic, The Fallen Woman.

Drawing inspiration from the history of the humble apple, this heart-wrenching tale follows botanical artist Jane Saville. Banished by her manipulative mother to safeguard another’s honour, Jane leads a secretive and impoverished existence beneath the majestic medieval spire of Salisbury Cathedral. Meanwhile, Guy Attwood, a friend of the new King and heir to a fortune, becomes obsessed with locating a lost apple from the middle centuries, rumoured to be found in Wiltshire. As their paths intertwine a relationship blooms, but secrets and jealousy, pride and duty collide to test the false life Jane has carefully built. Now she must defy the powers working against her to prove she is no woman to be outcast.
