Last week, after being named winner of the 2014 Stella Prize, Clare Wright’s winning history book The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka has jumped to the top of our bestseller list. We’ve sold out of hardback editions online (there are still some available in-store) but the paperback edition is arriving this week, featuring a whole new cover design! Pre-order your copy here.

The list also includes some newly-released Australian fiction: Maxine Beneba Clarke’s Foreign Soil which “marks the arrival of a major new voice in the Australian literary landscape” and Ceridwen Dovey’s Only The Animals described as “fiction at its very imaginative best”.

Some books receiving rave overseas reviews also feature. Bestselling euro thriller The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair by Joel Dicker has been hotly anticipated by crime readers for some months now and looks set to be as good as expected, while French economist Thomas Piketty’s book on this topic, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, has everybody talking. (We have more copies arriving in the coming weeks.)
