Six of the reads in our top ten bestselling books are from Australian authors, and three are debut fiction releases!

Rajith Savanadasa gives readers ‘a sweeping family saga’ with his first novel, Jane Harper’s much-hyped literary thriller ’deserves all of its accolades, and more’, and Michelle Wright’s short-story collection is ‘a must-read for students of the form’.

Another debut novel that’s caught the attention of our staff is American author Emma Cline’s The Girls. The story is loosely based on the infamous Manson family, and our reviewer writes: 'This book is one of the best explorations of what it feels like – what it really feels like – to be a girl in the world that I’ve read for ages.’ Read the full review here.

Other bestselling books include Anne Tyler’s reimagining of Shakespeare (Vinegar Girl), the most recent Quarterly Essay from James Brown (Firing Line), and the first of Elena Ferrante’s astounding Neapolitan Novels (My Brilliant Friend).

And if you’re already a Ferrante fan… Look out for a brand new Ferrante book to sink your teeth into later this year. Frantumaglia is a collection of her non-fiction writings and probably the closest we’ll come to meeting the real woman behind the books.
