Miles Franklin Award winner, Shankari Chandran takes Cath to Cinnamon Gardens, an aged care home established by Tamil refugees and now run by their daughter. It’s run with love and dignity and has become an oasis for its culturally diverse residents…but the tensions of past wars and the prejudices of present day Australia which have long remained at a simmer ultimately boil over.

Associate Professor Lisa Bennett shares her passion for stories soaked in mist and old magic with “Storyland”; a masterful, unique and utterly compelling illustrated mythology of Britain. Be transported to a time when England was considered the furthest outpost on any map and half remembered characters such as Brutus, Albina, Scota and Bladud roamed the earth …and our imaginations.

The tension builds in Miranda Darling’s Thunderhead + Bel Schenk portrays teen angst in The Most Famous Boy in Town
The outwardly comfortable life of mother and wife .Winina Dalloway has dark currents running beneath it. Thunderhead is the interior monologue of a woman acting normally but living under threat as she picks up her children from school, shops and prepares for a dinner party. A homage to Virginia Wolfe’s The Days, the book is a reminder of the drama and terror that can lurk beneath domesticity.

Bet Schenk brings a poet’s pared-down style and awareness of the power of language to this book set in a small country town where the local teen hero is actually anything but - and his brother knows the truth. The Most Famous Boy in Town is billed as teen fiction but it’s a story for all ages.
