Clementine Ford’s searing memoir/manifesto is our bestselling book of last week. Our reviewer writes that Fight Like a Girl is ‘explosive, hilarious and incredibly accessible without dumbing down the big theoretical issues too much’ – making it a perfect gift for a teenager as much as an adult.

Three of our favourite Australian novels of 2016 also appear on our bestsellers list this week.

Hannah Kent’s second novel The Good People is a moving parable about ignorance and fear set in nineteenth-century rural Ireland, and was voted one of our top ten fiction books of 2016. Jane Harper’s addictive crime thriller The Dry was eagerly passed around by our staff; find a collection of rave reviews from them here. And Zoë Morrison’s exquisite, extraordinary debut Music and Freedom was named the winner of this year’s Readings Prize for New Australian Fiction.
