Cardinal is our bestselling book of last week. In its pages, award-winning journalist Louise Milligan pieces together the history of Cardinal George Pell, his rise through the Australian Catholic Church, and his response to the allegations brought to light during the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Abuse.

Other bestselling non-fiction books include a galvanising read from Greek economist Yanis Varoufakis (Adults in the Room), Scott Pape’s accessible and informative money guide (The Barefoot Investor), John Safran’s vivid investigation into Australian political extremists (Depends What You Mean by Extremist), a comprehensive and illustrated field guide to Australia’s birdlife (The Australian Bird Guide), and veteran journalist Mark Colvin’s beautifully moving memoir (Light and Shadow).

We were so sad to hear of Colvin’s death in recent weeks. He will be missed.
