Our best-seller from the past week is September’s Melbourne City Reads pick, This Devastating Fever by Sophie Cunningham. For a limited time the novel is available at Readings for the special price of $25 (was $32.99). Bookseller Jo Di Mattia says of the novel, ‘ This Devastating Fever is an ambitious, empathetic, funny and intelligent book. Cunningham understands something profound about the complex yearnings of the human heart, and her writing about the natural world is exquisite.’ Read Jo Di Mattia’s full review here.
