It’s wonderful to see three Australian debuts in our bestsellers this week: Laura McPhee-Browne’s tender and intimate Cherry Beach; Sean O'Beirne’s sharply satirical A Couple of Things Before the End; and Emily Clements’ heartfelt memoir The Lotus Eaters. Australian fiction also gets a showing with The Weekend by Charlotte Wood and Damascus by Christos Tsiolkas continuing to sell well.

In non-fiction, Bruce Pascoe’s Dark Emu maintains its long-running bestselling status, and the American primaries inspire customers to pick up A Very Stable Genius.
