Join our host Fiona Taylor as she chats with author Madeleine Cleary about her debut historical novel The Butterfly Women in this SPOILER-FREE episode.
The Butterfly Women is Madeleineโs first novel and was published in April 2025 with Affirm Press. Rich in story, dark in tone and meticulously researched, this is a story that is at its heart about womenโs friendships as much as being a historical murder thriller. I loved the descriptions of Melbourne in 1863, especially Little Lon, and the hunt for the killer, but most of all I loved the women themselves, fighting to survive and thrive in what was essentially a manโs world.
