My name is Iris : a novel / Brando Skyhorse.
"Brando Skyhorse, winner of the PEN Hemingway Award, returns with his highly anticipated second novel, a literary dystopian tale set in a near-future America where mandatory identification wristbands make second-generation immigrants into second-class citizens"-- Provided by publisher.
After years of drifting apart, Iris Prince and her husband are going through a surprisingly drama-free divorce. She's moved to a new house in a new neighborhood, and has plans for gardening, coffee clubs, and spending more time with her nine-year-old daughter Melanie. One morning she looks outside her kitchen window and finds 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? Meaning, a startup has launched a high-tech wrist wearable called "the Band." Pitched as a convenient, eco-friendly tool to help track local utilities and replace driver's licenses and IDs, the Band is available only to those who can prove parental citizenship. Iris, a proud second-generation Mexican-American, is now of "unverifiable origin," unable to prove who she is, or where she, and her undocumented loved ones, belong. How far will Iris go to protect what matters to her most? -- adapted from jacket
