Rupetta (2013) is a science fiction novel by Australian writer Nike Sulway, who has previously published work under the pseudonym Nicole Bourke.

[2] The novel follows the story of Rupetta, a mechanical woman built in rural France in 1619 and endowed with sentience and immortality.

George Williams in The Australian found: "The book is notable not just for its original story but its form.

It is written in an unusual, lilting style that somehow manages to capture the emotional resonance of the scene, whether it be happy, melancholy, earnest or reflective.

It has elements of fantasy, romance and even gothic horror in the mould of Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.
