Heading our bestsellers this week is Phosphorescence, Julia Baird’s memoir on finding inner happiness. We actually sold so many copies of the book that we sold out! But rest assured – more are on their way, and we are expecting them to arrive by May 2020. Place your order now to secure a copy from our next available delivery.

There are a number of other great new releases from Australian authors keeping Baird company: Pip Williams’ accomplished debut The Dictionary of Lost Words , the engaging and addictive The Loudness of Unsaid Things, and fittingly for the current state of the world, The Animals in That Country – the story of a pandemic that allows humans to understand the language of animals.

Returning to the bestsellers once more are Hilary Mantel’s epic finale to her Wolf Hall trilogy, The Mirror and the Light; the Booker-winning Girl, Woman, Other, and enduring fiction favourite Where the Crawdads Sing. And we also have Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley’s Falastin, a delightful new cookbook from that is full of Middle Eastern inspiration for home cooks everywhere.
