Geraldine Brooks' spare and profoundly moving memoir, Memorial Days, is the top of our bestsellers this month. As our reviewer says: 'Brooks is a remarkably gifted storyteller and writer, whatever the genre may be. Give yourself the time to read Memorial Days, you will want to read it in one sitting if you can.'
Also released this month were Joan Lindsay by one of Australia's foremost biographers, Brenda Niall, which explores the hidden life of the woman who wrote Picnic at Hanging Rock, and Three Days in June by Anne Tyler, a funny, touching, hopeful novel about love, marriage and second chances.
