Brilliant. The Washington Post * Nuanced and compelling. The New York TimesFrom the PEN/Hemingway Awardwinning author of The Madonnas of Echo Park, an engrossing dystopian novel set in a nearfuture America where mandatory identification wristbands turn secondgeneration immigrants into secondclass citizensa wellimagined allegory of divisive racial politics (Kirkus Reviews).Iris Prince is starting over. After years of drifting apart, she and her husband are going through a surprisingly dramafree divorce. Shes moved to a new house in a new neighborhood, and has plans for gardening, coffee clubs, and spending more time with her nineyearold daughter Melanie. It feels like her life is finally exactly what she wants it to be.Then, one beautiful morning, she looks outside her kitchen windowand sees that a wall has appeared in her front yard overnight. Where did it come from? What does it mean? And why does it seem to keep growing?Meanwhile, a Silicon Valley startup has launched a hightech wrist wearable called the Band. Pitched as a convenient, ecofriendly tool to help track local utilities and replace drivers licenses and IDs, the Band is available only to those who can prove parental citizenship.Suddenly, Iris, a proud secondgeneration Mexican American, is now of unverifiable origin, unable to prove who she is, or where she, and her undocumented loved ones, belong. Amid a climate of fear and hatefueled violence, Iris must confront how far shell go to protect what matters to her most.Part social commentary and part thoughtful consideration of themes that include family, identity, transitions, perspectives, and hope (Shelf Awareness), My Name Is Iris is an alltoopossible story that offers a brilliant and timely look at one womans journey to discover who she cantand canbe.
