Our top 10 bestselling books from last week include much-anticipated new releases from Man Booker Prize winner Richard Flanagan and bestselling crime novelist Jane Harper.

Readings’ Managing Director Mark Rubbo calls First Person the author’s best work to date, and you can read a fascinating interview between Mark and Richard here. And if our staff’s glowing testimonials are anything to go by, then Rawson’s Force of Nature looks set to be as explosive and addictive as her first book – which also appears on this list.

Anther new release that arrived last week and has rocketed to our bestseller list is Sarah Krasnostein’s expansive and deeply moving biography of Sandra Pankhurst, The Trauma Cleaner. Carlton bookseller Kara Nicholson writes: ‘Krasnostein is an astute observer of human nature and her understated yet elegant prose is reminiscent of Helen Garner.’
