Our July 2024 bestsellers
For the second month in a row, our bestseller list is topped by Miranda July's tender, hilarious and literary novel, All Fours, about a woman upending her life.
Newcomers this month include cookbooks from two amazing chefs who have made their mark on the Melbourne food scene and are must-haves for your collection: Tarts Anon's Gareth Whitton, winner of the first Masterchef: Dessert Masters last year, has released Tarts Anon: Sweet and Savoury Brilliance; and Andreas Papadakis from the ever-popular Melbourne pasta bar Tipo 00 has released Tipo 00: The Pasta Cookbook.
Some great new Australian fiction and nonfiction have also appeared for the first time such as: Big Time, Jordan Prosser's breakout debut novel set in not-too-distant future Australia; Madame Brussels about the most legendary brothel keeper in nineteenth-century Melbourne; The Honeyeater, a wildly inventive, chilling and intoxicating story of betrayal, ambition and love; Storm Child the fourth novel in Michael Robotham's globally bestselling Cyrus Haven and Evie Cormac series; and Unconventional Women which uncovers the lives of the women who joined a closed convent in Melbourne in a time of great upheaval.
