Whenever society produces a depraved criminal, we wonder: is it
nature or is it nurture? When the charlatan Alicks Sly murdered his
wife, Ellie, and killed himself with a cut-throat razor in a house
in Sydney's Newtown in early 1904, he set off a chain of events
that could answer that question. He also left behind mysteries that
might never be solved. Sociologist Dr Tanya Bretherton traces the
brutal story of Ellie, one of many suicide brides in
turn-of-the-century Sydney; of her husband, Alicks, and his family;
and their three orphaned sons, adrift in the world. From the author
of the acclaimed THE SUITCASE BABY - shortlisted for the 2018 Ned
Kelly Award, Danger Prize and Waverley Library 'Nib' Award - comes
another riveting true-crime case from Australia's dark past. THE
SUICIDE BRIDE is a masterful exploration of criminality, insanity,
violence and bloody family ties in bleak, post-Victorian Sydney.
