Our best-seller from the past week is part memoir, part manual from the ever-remarkable Chloe Hooper (The Tall Man, The Arsonist). In Bedtime Story, Hooper grapples with the impossible question of what to do and how to cope when a partner is diagnosed with a fatal illness; looking to children’s literature for solace and signposts, this is an incredibly unique work. Read our review here.
Other books making an appearance on our bestseller list this week include the recently announced 2022 Stella Prize-winner, a collaborative cookbook of homely recipes to delve into this Autumn (see the results of our recent Yiayia Next Door cook-off here), and the local debut that everyone is talking about, Sunbathing – this one is perfect for those looking to read their way to warmer shores.
