Our bestseller last week was Behrouz Boochani’s powerful and compelling memoir (No Friend but the Mountains), followed by the final and concluding chapter to the beloved Rosie Trilogy, The Rosie Result.

British-Australian comedian Deborah Frances-White is the host of the side-splittingly funny podcast The Guilty Feminist, and her book of the same name has shot into our top 10. Endorsed by the likes of Emma Thompson and Killing Eve showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Frances-White’s book is a frank and funny look at embracing imperfect feminism.

Another book about women’s relationships, Emily Brewin’s novel Small Blessings is our fifth-highest bestseller, while Yuval Noah Harari’s indispensible work on human civilisation, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind, also re-enters our top 10.

Other chart-toppers include books by Bruce Pascoe, Sally Rooney, Yotam Ottolenghi and Haruki Murakami.
