The Wonder Lover

Malcolm Knox
An imaginative tour de force that ranks alongside the best work of

Vladimir Nabokov, Martin Amis and Peter Carey.
Calamity befell our father. He fell in love.
This is the story of John Wonder, a man with three families, each
one kept secret from the other, each one containing two children, a
boy and a girl, each called Adam and Evie. As he travels from family
to family in different cities, he works as an Authenticator, verifying
world records, confirming facts, setting things straight, while his
own life is a teetering tower of breathtaking lies and betrayals.
This stunning novel spectacularly confirms Malcolm Knox as one of
our brightest stars. Told in first person plural and written in the
style of a fable, but told to adults by children, The Wonder Lover is
sophisticated, smart, funny and very moving.

To Name Those Lost

Rohan Wilson
From the award-winning author of The Roving Party comes a

moving father and son story set amidst the beauty and the
violence of the poor and preyed upon of Australia’s colonial past.
Summer 1874. After abandoning his wife and child many years
ago, the Black War veteran Thomas Toosey must return to the city
to search for William, his now motherless twelve-year-old son. He
travels through the island's northern districts during a time of
impossible hardship – hardship that has left its mark on him too.
Arriving in Launceston, however, Toosey discovers a town in chaos.
He is desperate to find his son amid the looting and destruction,
but at every turn he is confronted by the Irish transportee Fitheal
Flynn and his companion, the hooded man, to whom Toosey owes
a debt that he must repay.
To Name Those Lost is the story of a father's journey. Wilson has an
eye for the dirt, the hardness, the sheer dog-eat-doggedness of the
lives of the poor. Human nature is revealed in all its horror and
beauty as Thomas Toosey struggles with the good and the vile in
himself and learns what he holds important.
Rights sold to The Roving Party: North American (Soho Press),

Rohan Wilson’s first book, The Roving Party, won the 2011 The

Shame
Russell Eldridge
A moving coming of age story set against the politically charged

backdrop of early apartheid South Africa.
It is 1961, and while the world seems to be on the brink of nuclear
confrontation, South Africa is entering its own decade of silence
under apartheid. Twelve-year old Tom MacGregor lives with his
family in a quiet suburban lane where people only see and hear
what they choose.
Tom’s family call him Wagter, the Watcher; always seeing and
hearing more than he should. One night Tom overhears his father,
Harry Mac, discussing a plot to assassinate the South African Prime
Minister. A newspaper editor and vocal critic of apartheid, Harry is
ferocious and unapproachable.
Weighed down by this terrible secret, Tom turns to his neighbour
Sol, a psychiatrist and the father of his best friend, Millie. As Tom's
political awareness gradually grows, he discovers the quiet lane is
thick with secrets, not least Sol’s. Suddenly Millie and Tom’s
neighbourhood, with its ‘ghost house’, its enigmatic wounded
soldier and its growing rumblings of political dissent, seems
anything but safe.
Tom’s struggle to make sense of his place in this quickly changing
world forms the basis of this dramatic story.
Russell Eldridge is an award-winning journalist and former
newspaper editor who has worked in Australia and South Africa. He
is a founding member of the Byron Bay Writers Festival, and is a

After Darkness
Christine Piper
Winner of The 2014 The Australian/Vogel's Literary Award

It is early 1942 and Australia is in the midst of war.
While working at a Japanese hospital in the pearling port of
Broome, Dr Ibaraki is arrested as an enemy alien and sent to
Loveday internment camp in a remote corner of South Australia.
There, he learns to live among a group of men who are divided by
culture and allegiance. As tensions at the isolated camp escalate,
the doctor's long-held beliefs are thrown into question and he is
forced to confront his dark past: the promise he made in Japan and
its devastating consequences.
'After Darkness is about friendships that transcend clichéd notions
of mateship. It's also about a man silenced by a promise ... a
haunting novel that lingers in a most unsettling way.' Fiona Stager,
Vogel's judge
'A brave, profound meditation on identity, trauma, loss and
courage ... A novel that demands its place alongside Richard
Flanagan's The Narrow Road to the Deep North.' Stephen Romei,

Mothers Grimm
Danielle Wood
A sly, cheeky and blackly comic collection about mothering,
heartache, heartbreak, desire, love and death.
In a fairytale, the only good mother is six feet under. All the others
are bad news.
A fairytale mother will exchange her first-born child for a handful of
leafy greens. And if times get tough, she'll walk her babes into the
woods and leave them there.
But mothers of today do no such things. Do they? In this collection
of heart-breakingly honest stories, the mothers of the Brothers
Grimm are brought – with wit, subversiveness and lyrical prose –
into the here and now.
Danielle Wood turns four fairytales on their heads and makes them
exquisitely her own.
‘In this wickedly clever, darkly funny collection Wood cannily
captures motherhood as a world of traps and snares… evokes the
sly subversion of Angela Carter.’ Weekend Australian

too slow. He sees too much, and too little. Jimmy's mother Paula is
the only one who can manage him. She teaches him how to count
sheep so that he can fall asleep. She holds him tight enough to stop
his cells spinning. It is only Paula who can keep Jimmy out of his

This Picture of You

Sarah Hopkins
Gripping, insightful and moving – a searing story of love and

betrayal, and a family coming apart at the seams. A breakthrough
novel from one of Australia’s rising stars.
Martin and Maggie, a judge and an artist, have forged a life
together for thirty-seven years. They have a son who is a successful
lawyer and a grandson to dote on. Life is good, comfortable,
familiar.
But one day Martin leaves a family lunch and drives to a suburb
miles away, to a particular house in a particular street, where an
accident triggers a chain of events. No one knows why he was there
– not even Martin himself – and as his mind starts unravelling, it is
left to Maggie to discover what in Martin's past is troubling him,
and where it is going to take them.
While Maggie pieces together the events leading up to the
accident, Martin takes refuge in a single memory, a night in New
York almost forty years ago – the night he and Maggie met. As
Martin's mind spirals inward, the fabric that has been holding his
lifetime of secrets at bay begins to fray. In his efforts to protect his
family from the mistakes in his past, has Martin damned his son to
the fate of repeating them?

Nanny Confidential
Philippa Christian
A deliciously gossipy novel about the rich and famous from a real-
life nanny to the stars who has seen it all.
When Lindsay Starwood moved from a small town to Melbourne,
she had no idea that her after-school babysitting job would turn
into a career. Her boss was Steven Stavros, the football player more
famous for his extramarital activities than his goal-scoring abilities.
However, word soon got out about the Australian nanny who was
great with kids, cool in a crisis and capable of keeping the secrets of
the rich and famous tightly under wraps. It wasn’t long before
Hollywood was calling.
But being a celebrity nanny isn't the Mary Poppins fantasy you
might imagine. When Lindsay finds herself caring for the six (yes,
six!) daughters of fame-hungry reality television star Alysha
Appleby, her patience is pushed to its limits. With a non-stop
schedule, a film crew watching her every move and duties way
outside her job description (like putting a seven-year-old on a
detox), Lindsay begins to wonder whether she has a future as a
nanny, or whether Hollywood's streets of gold are really a dead
end.
From affairs to bomb threats and suspicious deaths, Lindsay sees a
dark – and lonely – side of Hollywood that you'll never read about
in a magazine. Will she have to choose between her dream job and
the children she loves, and her own happiness?
Philippa Christian has worked as a nanny for the rich and famous.
Born and raised in Melbourne, she has lived and worked in
Australia and LA. This is her first novel.

Goodbye Sweetheart
Marion Halligan
A new novel from one of Australia’s most important writers.
William Cecil, a successful Canberra lawyer, has a heart attack and

dies suddenly while swimming in the local pool. Apparently happily
married at the time of his death, albeit with two divorces behind
him and three children to show for his marital trials, William, it
seems, was not quite the man the family thought. His penchant for
online pornography is discovered when his son Ferdie accesses his
laptop. And as the extended family of wives and children gather to
mark his passing at least one lover, Barbara, appears to remind
them that his philandering had not passed.
In the way that death can be messy, we come to understand that
William has failed many and continues to wreak havoc after death.
Goodbye Sweetheart reminds that we never quite truly know
another person, even those closest to us.
‘Cracking with life and mortality ... Halligan's magical word pictures

heart of this family, a terrible secret is tearing their lives apart.
A captivating drama of family secrets and tragedies.
As Lucas Jarmyn struggles to make sense of the death of his

unusual places. Only the housekeeper, the estimable Mrs Logan,
seems able to carry on.
A train accident in a provincial town on the railway Lucas owns
claims the life of nine-year-old Alice Brinklow and, amid the public
outcry, Alice's father, Thomas, journeys to London demanding
justice. As he arrives in the capital on a frozen January morning his
fate, and that of the entire Jarmyn family, will hinge on such
strange things as an ill-fated visit to a spiritualist, an errant chicken
bone and a single vote cast at a board room meeting.
Written with charm, humour and rich period detail, Maggie Joel has
created an intriguing novel of a Victorian family adrift in their
rapidly changing world.

Six Capitals
The revolution capitalism has to have – or Can
accountants save the planet?
Jane Gleeson-White
From the acclaimed author of Double Entry comes a timely and

fascinating account of the revolution going on in the world of
finance – and how accountants really can save the planet.
It is only the second revolution in accounting since double-entry
bookkeeping emerged in medieval Italy – and it is of seismic
proportions, driven by the 2008 financial crash and the environmental
crisis. The changes it will wreak are profound and far-reaching. They
will transform not only the way the world does business but alter the
very nature of corporate capitalism.
The accounts of nations and corporations are vital to the 21st century
global economy. They translate value into the language of modern
times – numbers and money – in the shape of GDP and profit figures.
But increasingly the world is coming to realise that the seemingly
endless growth that capital offers us is in fact limited by the earth's
resources and comes at a huge price to the planet and our own
wellbeing. It simply cannot be sustained.
This revolution led by accountants demands that we start accounting
for nature and society. It urges us to rethink our idea of capital,
insisting that the familiar categories of industrial and financial capital
bequeathed by the mercantile and industrial ages be broadened to
include four new categories of wealth or capitals: intellectual, human,
social and natural.
Jane Gleeson-White is the author of Double Entry: How the
merchants of Venice shaped the modern world – and how their
invention could make or break the planet (2011), which won the 2012
Waverly Library Award for Literature and was shortlisted for the 2013
NSW Premier's Literary Awards, The Age Book of the Year Award and

History
The Emperor’s Shadow

Anne Whitehead
The true story of the exiled Napoleon Bonaparte's relationship
with the English merchant William Balcombe and his teenage
daughter Betsy, and his lasting impact on their lives.
After Napoleon was defeated at the Battle of Waterloo, he was

sent into exile on St Helena, arriving in October 1815. For the six
years until his death, he was an ‘eagle in a cage’, reduced from the
most powerful figure in Europe to a prisoner on a rock in the South
Atlantic. But the fallen emperor was charmed by the pretty
teenage daughter of a local merchant, Betsy Balcombe.
Anne Whitehead has discovered new evidence that the

relationship between Betsy and the Emperor was not just
sentimental or romantic, as Betsy claimed. Her father, merchant
William Balcombe was well-connected in London, and he smuggled
letters and undertook a clandestine mission to Paris for Napoleon.
Betsy’s relationship with Napoleon cast a shadow over the rest of

her colourful life. She married a Regency cad, who soon left her
and their daughter, and she travelled to Australia in 1823 with her
father.
With her extraordinary connections both to royalty in London and

to Napoleon, the Bonaparte family and his courtiers, Betsy
Balcombe led a life worthy of a Regency romance. This new
account draws on the author’s painstaking research in the UK, St
Helena, France and Australia, revealing Napoleon at his most
vulnerable, human and reflective, and a woman caught in some of
the most dramatic events of her time.
Anne Whitehead is an author, historian and former TV producer-

director with the ABC. Her Paradise Mislaid: In Search of the
Australian Tribe of Paraguay was winner of the 1998 NSW
Premier’s Award for Australian History. Her Bluestocking in
Patagonia: Mary Gilmore’s Quest for Love and Utopia at the
World’s End was published by Profile Books in 2003 and was a

Humour
A Short History of Stupid

The decline of reason and why public debate makes us
want to scream
Bernard Keane and Helen Razer
Alain de Botton meets Russell Brand in this glorious rant about
everything that drives you mad about the modern world.
Recently, overwhelming mutual despair at the faltering quality of
public debate and the apparent death of logic and reason has driven
writers Helen Razer and Bernard Keane to the desperate act of
befriending each other. Over many long rants against the state of the
world and the way people write about it, govern it and behave in it,
they decided that Never Have Things Been So Bad.
What is Stupid? Stupid is the rejection of the discomfort of
intellectual rigour in favour of the mentally comfortable and
convenient. Razer and Keane skewer everything that has made them
want to shoot the TV lately: climate change denial, vaccination
denial, fanaticism, paternalism, moral panic, New Ageism, the War
on Terror, conspiracy theories, the internet, the mental health
industry, conspicuous compassion, postmodernism and the cult of 'I'.
A Short History of Stupid is angry, funny, savage, smart, provocative,
infuriating and incendiary. It has echoes of de Botton in that it is
conversant with the history of thought, but it is a lot more
disrespectful. It is as rude and as inflammatory as O'Rourke and as
penetrating and unforgiving as Hitchens. It is funny, but it is also at
once a provocation and a comfort for those with like minds.
Above all, it will inspire debate, reassure the terminally frustrated
and outrage the righteously Stupid. It is a book whose time has
definitely come.
Helen Razer is a contributor to The Age and The Australian, and is now a
columnist on dissent with Crikey and gardening correspondent for The
Saturday Paper. Helen has produced four previous books of humorous
nonfiction. Bernard Keane has been Crikey's correspondent and politics
editor in Canberra since 2008, writing on politics, media and economics. He
is the author of the ebook War on the Internet and an incessant torrent of
analysis, reportage and commentary on politics and public policy for Crikey.

of two of the world's greatest bands, AC/DC and INXS, from the
man who helped them on the road to international stardom.
Bon turned up with two bottles of bourbon, some dope and some
speed. When Angus saw this stash, he said to Malcolm, 'If this guy
can walk, let alone sing, it's going to be something.'
Michael Browning first spotted AC/DC in September 1974. They
were raw and rough, and much of the crowd, Michael included,
was bewildered by the flashy guitarist dressed as a school kid. But
Michael knew they had something – a blistering sound, killer songs
and a wildly charismatic stage presence. Within a week he'd signed
them to a management contract.
A young street kid with an uncanny ear for music, Michael had
kicked off his career in the swinging clubs that made Melbourne
the most happening place in Australia in the '60s.
And then AC/DC swept all before them. Here is the only insider
account of those amazing years by the man who helped guide
AC/DC to the top.
In the '80s Michael did it again, signing an up-and-coming band
called INXS to his label Deluxe Records and setting them on the
course to superstardom.
Dog Eat Dog is the story of one of the true believers of the music
industry, the man who helped Australia’s two biggest bands
achieve world domination...and lived to tell the tale.
Michael Browning has managed some of the world’s biggest bands

including Billy Thorpe, AC/DC, INXS and Noiseworks. Michael and
his family live in Sydney. Dog Eat Dog is his first book.

Music
A Little History
Nick Cave & cohorts, 1981-2013
Bleddyn Butcher
A stunning visual record of the amazing career of Nick Cave, one
of the world's coolest musicians, by one of the rock world's most
brilliant photographers and writers.
When Bleddyn Butcher first saw The Birthday Party play, back in
1981, he was astonished. And then enthralled. He set about trying
to catch their lightning in his Nikon F2AS.
That quixotic impulse became a lifelong quest. A little history got
made on the way.
Collected here for the first time are the fruits of his labour. A Little
History is an extraordinary document, tracking Nick Cave's creative
career from the apoplectic extravagance of The Birthday Party to
the calmer disquiet of 2013's Push The Sky Away via snapshots,
spotlit visions and sumptuous, theatrical portraits. It mixes the
candid and uncanny, the spontaneous and the patiently staged,
and includes eyeball encounters with Cave's baddest lieutenants,
men who for the most part long since burned their own bridges
down. Butcher's Nikonic eye defines moment after arresting
moment in Cave's glorious, sprawling story: it's a splendid
testament to two brilliant careers.
Bleddyn Butcher was born in England and scathed in Western

Australia. He worked for NME in the 1980s, photographing
musicians and authors. His photographs have since appeared in
many leading music journals and are included in the permanent
collection at Australia's National Portrait Gallery in Canberra. In
2011, he published Save What You Can: The Day of The Triffids, a
biography of that band's prime mover David McComb. He lives in
Sydney.

Autobiography
Dress, Memory
A memoir of my twenties in dresses
Lorelei Vashti
A charming coming-of-age memoir in which every dress tells a
story.
As we grow older, how do we know what to let go of and what to
keep?
Lorelei started collecting dresses in her twenties and found that
every time she wore one it became more significant to her. From
falling in love for the first time to playing in a band, from starting a
career to moving overseas, every dress soon had a memory
stitched into it, and she became as attached to each one as if they
were the events and people themselves.
But what happens when the wardrobe gets full? Should you let go
of the dresses you've outgrown, or try to hold on to them forever?
Dress, Memory is about a decade in dresses. Perceptive and
poignant, humorous and heartwarming, it's the story of growing up
and growing into yourself. It's about trying things on until you find
the perfect fit.
'Looking through Lorelei's wardrobe is a bit like looking into her
soul. I enjoyed the view.' Jo Walker, editor of frankie magazine
'A lovely portrait of both the strength and fragility of a young
woman. I felt like I was in my twenties again.' Kirstie Clements
'A brilliant vision of what it means to be a young woman.' Romy
Ash
Lorelei Vashti is a Melbourne-based writer and editor. She is a

contributor to the popular 'Women of Letters' series, has written
for and been profiled in many magazines, and used to write a
television column for the Fairfax press. Her blog is called 'Dress,

Biography
Walking Free
The extraordinary true story of a young man who fled
war-torn Iraq, came to Australia as a refugee by boat,
spent months in a detention centre and went on to
become a pioneering surgeon
Munjed Al Muderis and Patrick Weaver
Walking Free is Munjed's account of his journey from Saddam Hussein's
Iraq to a new life and a remarkable career at the forefront of
international medicine.
In 1999, Munjed Al Muderis was a young surgical resident working in

Baghdad when a squad of military police marched into the operating
theatre and ordered the surgical team to mutilate the ears of three
busloads of army deserters. When the head of surgery refused, he was
executed in front of his staff. Munjed's choices were stark – comply and
breach the medical oath 'do no harm', refuse and face certain death, or
flee.
That day, Munjed's life changed forever. He escaped to Indonesia, where

he boarded a filthy, overcrowded refugee boat, bound for Australia.
For ten months he was incarcerated in what became known as the worst
of the refugee camps in Western Australia. There he was known only by a
number, locked in solitary confinement and repeatedly told to go back to
Iraq.
On 26 August 2000, Munjed was finally freed. Now, fourteen years later,
he is one of the world's leading osseointegration surgeons, travelling the
globe transforming the lives of amputees with a pioneering technique
that allows them to walk again.
Associate Professor Munjed Al Muderis is a world leading

osseointegration surgeon and Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor at the
University of Notre Dame Australia in Sydney. He practises as an
orthopaedic surgeon at four hospitals in Sydney where he lives with his
wife Irina, a GP, and their daughter Sophia.
Patrick Weaver is a highly regarded writer and public relations consultant

who runs his own public relations and creative writing business in Sydney.
He lives in Sydney and has two adult children.

History
A Good Place to Hide

How one French community saved thousands of lives in
World War II
Peter Grose
They kept their heads down, they kept their mouths shut and
they stuck together to offer sanctuary and shelter to over 3500
Jews in their small villages in the isolated upper reaches of the
Loire. This is one of the great modern stories of unknown heroism
and courage.
Nobody asked questions, nobody demanded money. Villagers lied,
covered up, procrastinated and concealed, but most importantly
they welcomed.
This is the story of an isolated community in the upper reaches of
the Loire Valley that conspired to save the lives of 3500 Jews under
the noses of the Germans and the soldiers of Vichy France. It is the
story of a pacifist Protestant pastor who broke laws and defied
orders to protect the lives of total strangers. It is the story of an
eighteen-year-old Jewish boy from Nice who forged 5000 sets of
false identity papers to save other Jews and French Resistance
fighters from the Nazi concentration camps. And it is the story of a
community of good men and women who offered sanctuary,
kindness, solidarity and hospitality to people in desperate need,
knowing full well the consequences to themselves.
Powerful and richly told, A Good Place to Hide speaks to the
goodness and courage of ordinary people in extraordinary
circumstances.
'A story resonant in our age... a grand narrative... a book to cherish
and recommend.' Thomas Keneally
Peter Grose is a former journalist, literary agent and publisher. He

has published two highly acclaimed books with Allen & Unwin, An
Awkward Truth: The bombing of Darwin, February 1942 and A Very
Rude Awakening: The night the Japanese midget subs came to
Sydney Harbour.

Self-help/personal development
Buddhism for Couples

A calm approach to being in a relationship
Sarah Napthali
A practical self-help guide for couples from the author of the
bestselling, internationally acclaimed Buddhism for Mothers
series.
Every now and then we meet a woman who has mastered the art
of being in a couple, who has managed to keep the flame alive long
after the honeymoon period. Sarah Napthali is not one of these
women but is happy for readers to learn from her mistakes. With
her trademark emphasis on self-compassion, she explains how she
has applied Buddhist teachings to patch things up, hold things
together and even, on good days, scale the heights of relationship
happiness. Written for both men and women, Buddhism for
Couples tackles the loaded subjects of housework, anger, sex,
conflict and infidelity, before introducing Buddhist strategies that
can enrich a relationship.
Applying Buddhist teachings can improve our relationship by
guiding us to delve more deeply into our psyches. Through
mindfulness and ever-growing self-awareness, the teachings help
us to become more familiar with the workings of our minds and
bodies, more aware of our thoughts and beliefs, so that we can see
our behaviours with more clarity. Alongside Buddhist teachings,
Sarah explores the latest psychological research on relationships
and discovers numerous overlaps.
International English language sales of Buddhism for Mothers
number over 60,000 copies. Buddhism for Mothers has been
translated into the following languages: Chinese Simplified, Chinese
Complex, Croatian, Dutch, French, German, Hebrew, Indonesian,
Italian, Korean, Polish, Slovenian and Thai.
In a relationship for almost twenty years, Sarah Napthali is the
mother of two teenage boys and a long-term practitioner of
Buddhist teachings. She is the author of several parenting titles,
including the bestselling Buddhism for Mothers.
