Our best-seller from the past week is Jessica Au’s short and incisive novel, Cold Enough for Snow. Our reviewer and Readings Monthly editor Jackie Tang says of the work: ‘At just under 100 pages, this powerful exploration of family, creation and regret also plays with elements of time and perspective. I finished this book in one sitting, but immediately wanted to read it again, to savour its exquisite prose and tease out its slippery construction.’ Cold Enough for Snow centres on a mother-daughter trip to Japan and you can read our full review here.
Other books making an appearance on our bestseller list this week include a powerful and award-winning memoir from Kurnai woman, Veronica Gorrie about her time in the white-and-male-dominated police force, an exploration into why we can’t pay attention anymore – and whether there’s something we can do about it – from bestselling author Johann Hari, and a timeless sci-fi classic to read before you see the film.
