Clementine Ford’s timely new book, Boys Will be Boys, is our bestselling title of last week. In her rave review, Readings Monthly Editor Elke Power says this work is ‘an impassioned call for societal change from a writer who has become a stand-out voice of her generation, and an act of devotion from a mother to her son’. You can read the full review here.

Other Australian titles to feature on our list include an addictive new novel from literary powerhouse, Liane Moriarty (Nine Perfect Strangers), two thought-provoking essays from Laura Tingle and Don Watson (Follow the Leader, On Indignation), and a new family-focussed money guide from Scott Pape, AKA the Barefoot Investor (The Barefoot Investor for Families).
