Our bestseller this month was Long Island by Colm Tóibín, which continues the story of Eilis Lacey from his hugely successful Brooklyn. Our reviewer and managing director Joe Rubbo recently spoke with Tóibín about his writing and what compelled him to return to the story of Eilis. Their conversation can be found here, as well as Joe's review.

Three recent prize winners featured this month: Praiseworthy by Alexis Wright, winner of the 2024 Stella Prize; Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck & Michael Hofmann (trans.), winner of the 2024 International Booker Prize; and Women & Children by Tony Birch, winner of the 2024 Age Book of the Year for Fiction.

Other highlights include Miranda July's latest novel All Fours which was only in stock for a week before it catapulted to eighth on our list; Table for Two, a collection of short stories from A Gentleman in Moscow author Amor Towles; and works from Melbourne Writer's Festival authors Toshikazu Kawaguchi, Paul Murray, Paul Lynch and Andrew O'Hagan.
