The Arsonist by Chloe Hooper
On the day that became known as Black Saturday, one man deliberately lit two fires near the small town of Churchill, Gippsland, then sat on the roof of his house and watched the flames. The Arsonist, by the acclaimed author of The Tall Man, is the story of that man, the fire he lit, and the people who were killed.
Educated by Tara Westover
Tara Westover was 17 when she first set foot in a classroom. Raised by religious survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she wasn’t registered for a birth certificate, didn’t attend school and her father didn’t believe in modern medicine. As she grew older, she decided to educate herself, a journey that would take her far from home to some of the most prestigious universities in the world. A frequent entry on best-of lists last year, Westover’s memoir shines with fierce family loyalty, and the grief of leaving behind the world you know, in the struggle to become who you want to be.
Mythos by Stephen Fry
The Greek myths are embedded deeply in the shared DNA of Western stories, having inspired artists for millennia, including the likes of Shakespeare, Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. Otherworldly but immediately relatable and familiar, these myths conjure a world of brave enterprise, cruel and capricious Gods and great sacrifice. Spellbinding, informative and moving, Stephen Fry’s Mythos perfectly captures these stories for the modern age – in all their rich and deeply human relevance.
Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton
When it comes to the trials and triumphs of becoming a grown up, journalist Dolly Alderton has seen and tried it all. In her memoir, she vividly recounts falling in love, wrestling with self-sabotage, finding a job, throwing a socially disastrous Rod-Stewart themed house party, getting drunk, getting dumped, realising that Ivan from the corner shop is the only man you’ve ever been able to rely on.
Quiet by Susan Cain
Our lives are driven by a fact that most of us can’t name and don’t understand. It defines who our friends and lovers are, which careers we choose, and whether we blush when we’re embarrassed. That fact is whether we’re an introvert or an extrovert. Passionately argued, superbly researched, and filled with real stories, Quiet will permanently change how we see introverts – and how you see yourself.
Untamed by Glennon Doyle
Who were you before the world told you who to be? When women learn to please they forget who they are. Part inspiration, part memoir Untamed explores the joy and peace we discover when we stop striving to meet the expectations of the world, and instead dare to listen to and trust in the voice deep inside us.
Mouth Full of Blood by Toni Morrison
A vital non-fiction collection from one of the most celebrated and revered American writers. Spanning four decades, these essays, speeches and meditations interrogate the world around us. They are concerned with race, gender and globalisation. The sweep of American history and the current state of politics. The duty of the press and the role of the artist.
Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari
Earth is 4.5 billion years old. In just a fraction of that time, one species among countless others has conquered it. Us. We are the most advanced and most destructive animals ever to have lived. Yuval Noah Harari’s bestselling history of our species, and its follow-up, Homo Deus which examines our future, are expansive, seminal works that will challenge what you think you know. Harrari’s expertise is apparent, and his curiosity and awe infectious, imparting on the reader a deep appreciation for the world and all its chaotic parts.
