And, of course, we have reviews upon reviews of brilliant new books for every age and stage!
May brings books from local and international stars – Amanda Lohrey, Wayne Marshall, Rebecca Lim, Martin McKenzie-Murray, Stan Grant, Elizabeth Strout, Douglas Stuart and Lauren Elkin, to name a few – and a debut novel from Robert Forster!
