Our best-seller from the past week is recent Miles Franklin Literary Award winner, Bodies of Light. Our head book buyer Alison Huber describes the work as ‘deeply affecting—at times upsetting—and ultimately hugely satisfying character study that explores trauma and grief, and the question of how a person is to live.’ Learn more about this award-winning book here.
Other books making an appearance on our bestseller list this week includes two excellent crime novels from Margaret Hickey and Michael Robotham, the new cookbook from the head chef of Etta, and a genre-bending second novel from local author Georgina Young.
