Dark Palace is a novel by Australian author Frank Moorhouse that won the 2001 Miles Franklin Award.[1]
The novel forms the second part of the author's Edith Trilogy, following Grand Days (1993) and preceding Cold Light (2011). The trilogy is a fictional account of the League of Nations; it traces the strange, convoluted life of a young woman who enters the world of diplomacy in the 1920s, through to her involvement in the newly formed International Atomic Energy Agency after World War II.[2]
