Our best-seller from the past week is Chris Womersley’s, The Diplomat. Our reviewer Pierre Sutcliffe describes the latest work from Womersley as ‘a tremendously moving tale of regret, atonement and redemption; I can’t remember the last time I read a book that manages this with such aplomb.’ Read Pierre’s full review here.

Other books making an appearance on our bestseller list this week include the ten year anniversary edition of Anita Heiss’ critical memoir, the recently adapted for television Everything I Know About Love , and our crime fiction expert’s top pick for July.
