Following a packed event, George Megalogenis’s fascinating new book, The Football Solution tops our list of bestselling books from last week. Sitting just below this work is No Friend But the Mountains, an urgent, powerful and lyrical memoir from Kurdish journalist Behrouz Boochani who has been held in the Manus Island offshore processing centre since 2013.

Another non-fiction title that’s proving popular with customers is Rachael Brown’s Trace. Expanding on the award-winning ABC podcast of the same name, this is the riveting inside story of Brown’s cold-case investigation of the 1980 murder of Melbourne bookseller Maria James.

Fiction bestsellers include novels from international authors Andrew Sean Greer (Less), Anne Tyler (Clock Dance) and Gail Honeyman (Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine), as well as two excellent reads from Australian authors: The Nowhere Child by Christian White and A Superior Spectre by Angela Meyer.
