Last week’s list of bestselling books includes some of our staff’s favourite recent releases.

Jo Case describes Australian true crime story, The Family, as immaculately researched and reported, while Chris Somerville calls George Saunders’s first novel a real delight. Read their two reviews in full here and here.

Lian Hingee says Neil Gaiman’s latest work, Norse Mythology is for ‘…anyone interested in myths and legends, as well as younger readers who have outgrown fairytales and might be interested in learning the origin stories of some of their favourite Marvel superheroes.’ Find the rest of her review here.

And Mark Rubbo strongly recommends Insomniac City – Bill Hayes’s elegy to New York, and to his lover and partner, the late Oliver Sacks. Rubbo writes: ‘I’m not easily moved to tears but one simple line in the book’s final pages caught me up short, gasping, fighting back tears. Read this book. I hope it will affect you as it has me.’
