We were so pleased to be a supporter of the Brotherhood of St Laurence’s inaugural Hope Prize this year. And we’re even more pleased to see that Hope: An Anthology (which collects together winning and recommended stories from the 1,000+ entries) is our number one selling book of last week. This anthology would make a timely read given recent world events.

Other bestselling books of last week include… new novels from Zadie Smith, Hannah Kent and Lee Child (The Good People, Swing Time, Music and Freedom); two literary prize winners from the past year (The Sellout, Music and Freedom); an irreverent Australian history book (True Girt); a Melbourne cookbook that just ‘happens to be vegan’ (Smith & Daughters; and much more.
