Two Australian stalwarts go head to head in the Most Mentioned chart this week, Kate Grenville with The Lieutenant and Colleen McCullough with The Independence of Miss Mary Bennet. McCullough has given Mary Bennet, sister of Elizabeth, a voice and it seems readers want to hear what she has to say. Another Australian, Robert Drewe, has had his book The Rip mentioned quite a bit in the press this week. The Rip is a collection of short stories with each story focussing 'on life events beyond the control of its characters.'
