As we approach the end of the year – and gifting season – many of the year's biggest releases are starting to arrive. R.F. Kuang's latest release, Katabasis, heads our chart this month with other international stars hot on its heals: The Impossible Fortune, the latest in Richard Osman's Thursday Murder Club series; What We Can Know by Ian McEwan, a novel which spans the past, present and future to ask profound questions about who we are and where we are going; and Strange Houses the latest mystery by bestelling YouTube sensation Uketsu.
On the Australian front there's Toni Jordan's new novel, which our reviewer devoured in a weekend, a new standalone by 'master storyteller' Sulari Gentill, a gripping thriller from Michael Brissenden, an enemies-to-lovers football rom-com, and, in our top ten for the third month in a row, the award-winning Ghost Cities by Siang Lu.
Last, but certainly not least, there are several important nonfiction releases, including Mother Mary Comes To Me by Arundhati Roy, Quarterly Essay 99: Woodside vs the Planet by Marian Wilkinson and Snake Talk by Tyson Yunkaporta & Megan Kelleher. Enjoy!
