We’ve talked a lot about how this month is particularly strong for Australian fiction and it seems you agree with seven of our bestsellers this week being from Australian authors! That includes three short-story collections (The Promise, Only The Animals, Foreign Soil); three debut novels (Wild Things, The Strays, Burial Rites); and, one history book - and Stella prize winner (The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka).
