Behind the Beautiful Forevers Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity

New Adult Release Non-Fiction | January 2014

Katherine Boo A landmark work of narrative nonfiction from a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Annawadi is a makeshift settlement in the shadow of luxury hotels near the Mumbai airport, and as India starts to prosper, Annawadians are electric with hope. Even the poorest Annawadians believe themselves inching closer to the good lives and good times they call “the full enjoy.” But then Abdul the garbage sorter is falsely accused in a shocking tragedy; terror and a global recession rock the city; and suppressed tensions over religion, caste, sex, power and economic envy turn brutal. As the tenderest individual hopes intersect with the greatest global truths, the true contours of a competitive age are revealed. And so, too, are the imaginations and courage of the people of Annawadi.

National Book for Nonfiction (US) Winner National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist Winner of the PEN/John Kenneth Galbriath Nonfiction Award “The book plays out like a swift, richly plotted novel … Boo gives even the broadest themes (the collateral damage of globalisation, say) a human face. And there are half a dozen characters here so indelible — so swept up in impossible dreams and schemes — that they call Dickens and Austen to mind.” — Entertainment Weekly “Riveting…[A] stunning piece of narrative nonfiction; it not only reports on some of the world’s poorest people and their dizzying resourcefulness and criminality but portrays them in all their humanity.” — O, The Oprah magazine

The Buddha Bolinda Beginner Guides

New Adult Release Non-Fiction | January 2014

John Strong Revealing the man behind the icon. Today the Buddha is honoured throughout the world as one of the great religious figures in the history of humankind. In this authoritative biography, John Strong presents the story of Siddhartha Gautama the way Buddhists have told it – from accounts of his previous lives, and the story of his birth and upbringing, through to his enlightenment, deathbed deeds, and ongoing presence in the relics that he left behind. Along the way, he explores the roots of key Buddhist beliefs and practices, making this volume not only a useful study of the life of the Buddha, but a helpful introduction to Buddhism as a whole.

“Among the many biographies of the Buddha available to the general reader, John Strong’s remains the best. It draws from a vast body of sources with sensitivity and insight to paint a fascinating portrait of a towering figure.” — Donald S Lopez, Arthur E. Link Distinguished University Professor of Buddhist and Tibetan Studies, University of Michigan



The Daughters of Mars Tom Keneally

New Adult Release Fiction | January 2014

The latest epic from Man Booker Prize winning author Tom Keneally. Naomi and Sally Durance are daughters of a dairy farmer from the Macleay Valley. Bound together in complicity by what they consider a crime, when the Great War begins in 1914 they hope to submerge their guilt by leaving for Europe to nurse the tides of young wounded. Their education in medicine, valour and human degradation takes them from the Dardanelles to the Greek island of Lemnos, then on the Western Front. Naomi encounters the wonderful, eccentric Lady Tarlton, who is founding a voluntary hospital near Boulogne; Sally serves in a casualty clearing station close to the front. Inspired by the journals of Australian nurses who gave their all to the Great War effort and the men they nursed, The Daughters of Mars is vast in scope yet extraordinarily intimate.

A saga dedicated to the labours of Australian nurses in the Great War The latest historical offering from one of Australia’s most prolific writers & author of Schindler’s Ark, winner of the Man Booker Prize Twice winner of the Miles Franklin Award “This is a novel on an epic scale: it’s plenitude and anguish are life-enhancing, and the huge talents of Thomas Keneally are everywhere on display.” — The Guardian



Echoes From a Distant Land Frank Coates

New Adult Release Sagas | January 2014

A historical saga from the author of Softly Calls the Serengeti. Wangira is caught between the traditions of his Kikuyu tribe and the disturbing new ideas of the missionaries. When, as a young warrior, he saves the life of a wealthy American photographer, he is offered the chance of a new life far away in the white man’s world. Dana Northcote is a celebrated socialite, living the high life, but when Wangira uses her husband’s farm in the Kenyan highlands to hide some contraband, she embarks on a dangerous, passionate affair. Ultimately, she is forced to make a heart-rending decision that will tear her life apart. Spanning the first half of the twentieth century and culminating in Kenya’s fight for independence from the British Empire, Echoes From a Distant Land is a vivid evocation of a nation in turmoil.

“Remarkable … adventuresome … suffused with tenderness.” — Australian Book Review “Powerfully recreates the turbulent past.” — Courier-Mail “blockbuster adventure with authenticity.” — Weekend Australian “an enthralling, multi-layered tale.” — Good Reading



The Husband’s Secret Liane Moriarty

New Adult Release Fiction | January 2014

The new extraordinary novel from the author of The Hypnotist’s Love Story and What Alice Forgot. Cecilia Fitzpatrick, P&C president at St Angela’s Primary School, top-selling Tupperware consultant and super-efficient mother of three, has never had a problem making a decision….until now. She’s just stumbled across a mysterious and troubling letter. It’s from her husband. It’s addressed to her. But it’s only to be opened in the event of his death – and John-Paul is still very much alive. Should she open it? Is it simply a sentimental message of love or something more sinister? She opens the letter. Nothing about Cecilia Fitzpatrick’s blissfully ordinary suburban life will ever be the same again.

Australian Bestselling Author The author of 5 internationally bestselling novels “Fascinating and compassionate.” — Daily Telegraph (for The Hypnotist’s Love Story) “A satisfying beach read, escapist but not unintelligent.” — Kirkus Reviews (for The Hypnotist’s Love Story)

When an old childhood friend visits him, asking for his help with a case of police brutality, Daniel wants nothing to do with it. But obligations are obligations, and he soon finds himself on the wrong end of police attention, and dragged into the shady business of a local gangster. But there is far more at stake than he could ever have anticipated – including the mystery of what happened to his mother, who disappeared months after he was born. Daniel must keep ahead of his pursuers long enough to uncover the bloody mysteries of the past – and the fate of another young woman, too innocent to protect herself in the midst of a dangerous game.

The Underdog

New Young Adult Release Australian Fiction | January 2014

He knows it. His brother Rube knows it, because he’s one too. They could change - but what would it take?

From the best-selling author of the internationally acclaimed The Book Thief A tough but poetic street story “Zusak has eloquently encapsulated loyalty, sensitivity and the boldness of youth.” — Australian Book Review “Zusak doesn’t sugarcoat anything, but he makes his ostensibly gloomy subject bearable the same way Kurt Vonnegut did in Slaughterhouse-Five: with grim, darkly consoling humor.” — Time Magazin
