Review: Fifth Sun by Camilla Townsend

The Fifth Sun is a fascinating, scholarly and moving portrayal of a people surviving colonisation.

Review: Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart

A tale of despair, illness and poverty that captures the swooping highs and devastating lows of life.

A novel that does what it says, painting a portrait of an ambitious and charming young woman as she seeks to experience all life has to offer.

The books that have had the biggest impact on me this year.

These stories are about traditional Aussie men, all at sea in their emotions.

Lesbians! Cowboys! Argentina!

This is a novel that does what it says: a truly discomforting tale of death and grief set in a grim twilight world.

A strange and misty novel set in colonial Van Diemen’s Land.

Eggshell Skull is a compelling and infuriating insight into the justice system, and the psychology of victimhood.

An aching novel of a young man trying to find a place in the world.
