The former Secretary of State, Hillary Rodham Clinton, visited Melbourne last week to talk on her life’s work. Her 2017 memoir, What Happened, appears in the number two spot on our bestsellers list. It sits just below Marcia Langton: Welcome to Country, a beautifully produced travel guide offering an introduction to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and places of interest.

Our bestselling books for last week include Christos Tsiolkas’ contribution to Black Inc’s Writers on Writers series (On Patrick White), an eloquent new novel from award winner Michael Ondaatje (Warlight), Simon Winchester’s fascinating investigation into ‘how precision engineers created the modern world’ (Exactly), and a evocative Australian debut from a young Victorian writer (Ironbark).
