A.S. Patrić’s Miles Franklin winner is our bestseller for the second week in a row: Black Rock White City is a powerful story about the damages of war, the limits of choice, and the hope of love. We have signed copies available, in-store and online, at a special price – but only while stocks last.

Other Australian books to make our bestsellers list include Maxine Beneba Clarke’s urgent, powerful memoir (The Hate Race), Richard Fidler’s ode to a lost civilization (Ghost Empire), Don Watson’s latest Quarterly Essay (Enemy Within), Robert Forster’s music memoir of one of our most influential bands (Grant and I), and Melina Marchetta’s first ever adult crime book (Tell the Truth, Shame the Devil).

Please note, this list does not include books bought at the Melbourne Writers Festival Festival Bookshop over Friday night and the weekend. Those sales will be included in next week’s list of bestsellers.
