Behind The Beautiful Forevers: Life Death And Hope In A Mumbai Undercity Add to basket($27.95)
A very gritty piece of narrative non-fiction about the lives of a group of families in the Mumbai slum known as Annawadi. It grabbed me at the first page and I couldn't put it down. Fascinating, horrifying and extraordinarily good.

A gritty study of the author's childhood and adolescence after the murder of his mother in the late 1950's and Ellroy's continued search for her killer after having her case reopened in the mid 90's. One of the best autobiographies I have ever read.

Holding The Man Add to basket($9.95)
The autobiography by Conigrave about his relationship with his boyfriend in the late 70's and 80's is told with humour and pathos. An absolutely heartwrenching study of Melbourne gay life in a time when AIDS was raising it's very ugly head.
