November 2016 Sales NOVEMBER 2016 Fearless Fiona Higgins What happens when six pampered Westerners on a spiritual retreat in Bali end up fighting for their lives? A gripping novel from the bestselling author of The Mothers' Group. Description A breathtaking new novel from the bestselling author of The Mothers' Group and Wife on the Run. Six strangers from across the world converge on the tropical island of Bali to attend a course designed to help them face their fears. Their backgrounds are as diverse as their fears - which range from flying, public speaking and heights, through to intimacy, failure and death. Friendships and even romance blossoms as the participants are put through a series of challenges which are unusual, confronting and sometimes hilarious. A week of fun in the sun suddenly transforms into something far more serious, however, when the unthinkable happens - a tragic disaster that puts the group in deadly danger that will test the individual courage of every member. Shocking, powerful and utterly gripping, Fearless takes you to the edge and makes you look down. About the Author Fiona Higgins is the author of three novels, Fearless, Wife on the Run and The Mothers' Group, and a memoir, Love in the Age of Drought.

Description 'All those things no one ever tells you about motherhood. It's like secret mothers' business. Lots of my friends had babies before me, but not one of them ever told me it would be this hard.It's like a code of silence.' The Mothers' Group tells the story of six very different women who agree to regularly meet soon after the births of their babies. Set during the first crucial year of their babies' lives, The Mothers' Group tracks the women's individual journeys-and the group's collective one-as they navigate birth and motherhood as well as the shifting ground of their relationships with their partners. Each woman strives in her own way to become the mother she wants to be, and finds herself becoming increasingly reliant on the friendship and support of the members of the mothers' group. Until one day an unthinkably shocking event changes everything, testing their bonds and revealing closely held secrets that threaten to shatter their lives. The Mothers' Group is an unflinching and compelling portrait of the modern family in all its complexity and intensity: love, sex and marriage and all the joys and tensions of raising children in an increasingly complicated world. Moving, provocative, tender and utterly gripping, The Mothers' Group will draw you in and never let you go.

Description The sound of horses' hooves turns hollow on the farms west of Wirri. If a man can still ride, if he hasn't totally lost the use of his legs, if he hasn't died to the part of his heart that understands such things, then he should go for a gallop. At the very least he should stand at the road by the river imagining that he's pushing a horse up the steep hill that leads to the house on the farm once known as One Tree. Set in hardscrabble farming country and around the country show high-jumping circuit that prevailed in rural New South Wales prior to the Second World War, Foal's Bread tells the story of two generations of the Nancarrow family and their fortunes as dictated by the vicissitudes of the land. It is a love story of impossible beauty and sadness, a chronicle of dreams 'turned inside out', and miracles that never last, framed against a world both tender and unspeakably hard. Written in luminous prose and with an aching affinity for the landscape the book describes, Foal's Bread is the work of a born writer at the height of her considerable powers. It is a stunning work of remarkable originality and power, one that confirms Gillian Mears' reputation as one of our most exciting and acclaimed writers. About the Author Gillian Mears grew up in the northern New South Wales towns of Grafton and Lismore. Acclaim came early, with her short-story collections and novels winning major prizes. Her books include Ride a Cock Horse, Fineflour, The Mint Lawn, The Grass Sister and A Map of the Gardens. Gillian's monumental third novel, Foal's Bread, was published by Allen & Unwin in 2011 and by Allen & Unwin UK in 2013. It was shortlisted for many major awards in 2012, including the Miles Franklin Award, and won The Prime Minister's Literary Award for Fiction, The Age Book of the Year, the Victorian Price: $32.99 (NZ$36.99) Premier's Award for Fiction, the Colin Roderick Award and the ALS Gold Medal. Her children's story, The Cat with the ISBN: 9781760294991 Coloured Tail, was published by Walker Books Australia in 2013. Gillian died on May 16, 2016, and will be sadly missed.

  • High Wire Act: Peter Carey's My Life As a Fake Anthony
    The Journal of the European Association for Studies of Australia, Vol.6 No.1, 2015 High Wire Act: Peter Carey’s My Life as a Fake Anthony J. Hassall Copyright © Anthony J. Hassall 2015. This text may be archived and redistributed both in electronic form and in hard copy, provided that the author and journal are properly cited and no fee is charged. Abstract: This essay examines how Carey displays the multiple fakeries of fiction in My Life as a Fake. It notes the multiple inter-textual references to the Ern Malley hoax and the gothic horror of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. It examines the three unreliable narrating voices, the uneven characterisation of Christopher Chubb, and the magic realism seeking to animate Bob McCorkle and his present/absent book My Life as a Fake. It argues that the dazzling display of meta-fictional complexity, much celebrated by reviewers, contributes to the book’s failure to create engaging characters and a credible narrative. Keywords: fiction; fakery; meta-fictional complexity; inter-textual reference; unreliable narration; engaging characters; credible narrative I Peter Carey’s My Life as a Fake (2003) is a typically risk-taking venture. Its spectacular exposure of the multiple fakeries involved in telling the stories of fictional characters is compelling, but it is less persuasive in rendering those fictional characters credible and sympathetic. The first of Carey’s books to be published by Random House, it did not emulate the spectacular success of True History of the Kelly Gang. Initially uncertain of how to respond, some reviewers devoted more space to re-telling the Ern Malley story than to the book itself, which understandably frustrated the author (“Carey’s take on snub?” 1).

  • Comprehensive History
    A History of the Foundation for Australian Literary Studies 1966-2016 by Colin Roderick & Lyndon Megarrity Published by the Foundation for Australian Literary Studies Townsville 2016 I NTRODUCT I ON The Foundation for Australian Literary Studies (FALS) is that rare thing: an organisation that has made a difference to the public understanding and appreciation of Australian literary culture from a regional rather than a metropolitan setting. This publication has been prepared to commemorate and celebrate the first fifty years of FALS, an organisation designed to promote and encourage Australian literature at a local and national level. It is the work of two authors. The first author is Professor Colin Roderick (1911-2000), the original driving force behind FALS and its first Executive Director (1966-76). The Foundation published Roderick’s account of the organisation’s first decade in 1989, and while Roderick prepared a manuscript for the second decade, this has remained unpublished until now. Therefore, in this publication, the first twenty years of the Foundation for Australian Literary Studies are presented from the direct perspective of Colin Roderick. There has been some very minor editing to preserve continuity and context within the publication as a whole. Roderick skilfully captures the energy and enthusiasm of the early years of the Foundation, which elevated the importance of Australian literature and showcased North Queensland’s potential as a cultural centre. Roderick’s narrative of the first twenty years of FALS is followed by an account of the three decades from 1987 to 2016. This has been written by historian Dr Lyndon Megarrity, and will focus on how the Foundation has evolved since the 1980s.1 It will also show how Roderick’s vision has helped sustain the organisation over five decades.
