About this deal

Ann-Marie Cahill will read anything and everything. From novels to trading cards to the inside of CD covers (they’re still a thing, right?). A good day is when her kids bring notes home from school. A bad day is when she has to pry a book from her kids’ hands. And then realizes where they get it from. The only thing Ann-Marie loves more than reading is travelling. She has expensive hobbies. Pascoe’s source material consists of interviews with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, fourth-generation farmers and settlers diaries (such as ‘famed’‘explorer’ Major Thomas Mitchell).

These contemporary novels are the best books about Australia to read, if you’re after a novel which reflect this country as it is, today. BOOK CREDIT: Bodies of Light by Jennifer Down (The Text Publishing Company , 2021) The Harp in the South” by Ruth Park is a compelling and evocative novel that provides a vivid portrayal of life in the slums of post-World War II Sydney, Australia. Set in the suburb of Surry Hills, the novel follows the Darcy family, particularly the young Rosie and her parents, Hughie and Mumma, as they navigate the challenges of poverty, social prejudice, and the complexities of family relationships.Similar to The Happiest Refugee , Where the Sea Takes Us also portrays the experiences of a Vietnamese family moving to Australia for peace and greater opportunities: “Kim traces his parents’ precarious lives, from their poor villages in central and southern Vietnam, through relative affluence in Saigon, to their harrowing experiences after the American withdrawal and the fall of Saigon in 1975, which led them to a new life in Australia.” I’m not reporting on Indigenous Knowledge systems for a global audience’s perspective. I’m examining global systems from an Indigenous Knowledge perspective. If you love fiction, the Literati Book Club – Fiction subscription will bring you a monthly new release, top listed fiction.

I’ve been reading Lorraine Elliott’s blog for years , and her book is a memoir about food, blogging, and full of recipes.Chloe Hooper is one of my favourite authors. The Walkley (a prestigious journalism award in Australia) award-winning writer sure knows how to tell a tale. Often and incorrectly referred to as the ‘last Aboriginal Tasmanian’, her life is often viewed as a tragedy. Isabel’s longing for a child and the couple’s isolation on the island lead them to make a morally complex decision: they raise the baby as their own, naming her Lucy. However, their actions have far-reaching consequences that reverberate through their lives and those of others. You know when you finish a book and you’re like ‘wow, that book not only has changed my life but the way I see the world’?

The White Girl introduces us to Odette Brown and her granddaughter Sissy, who live in the fictional country town of Deane.
