Mix together inspiring non-fiction and gripping literary fiction, and you have our bestsellers this week. Obama’s riveting and deeply personal account of his early political career takes top spot, followed by Douglas Stuart’s award-winning novel of Glasgow in the 1980s. It’s also wonderful to see Bruce Pascoe and Vicky Shukuroglou’s essential guidebook to sacred Australia make our top 10 for the third week running.

Tara June Winch’s profound story of a people and a culture dispossessed is back among our bestsellers after winning yet more awards, with the recent announcements of the Prime Minister’s Literary Awards and the Voss Literary Prize. Other Australian literary novels on our list include Pip Williams’s absorbing lexographical tale, Trent Dalton’s war-time odyssey and compelling crime fiction from Jane Harper.
