1 September, 2008 Hope Endures is the story of Collette Livermore, a woman who joins the Missionaries of Charity (begun by Mother Teresa) in 1973 and leaves the order in 1984. 
1 September, 2008 Carolin Dahlman is Swedish-born, but lives and works in Australia. 
1 September, 2008 Each year an increasing number of people join the tens of thousands of pilgrims who walk the spiritual road of the Camino de Santiago across the north of Spain. 
1 September, 2008 What do Nick Cave, kelpies, and Lake Mungo have in common? According to Peter Cochrane, winner of the 2007 Age Book of the Year award and general editor of this fascinating volume, all three are idiosyncratic elements of our national identity. 
1 September, 2008 With the novella Vertigo, award-winning author Amanda Lohrey (The Philosopher’s Doll, Camille’s Bread) once more taps into the Australian zeitgeist. 
1 September, 2008 The Slap’s action hinges around a Melbourne suburban BBQ. 
1 September, 2008 Lots of words have more than one meaning and in Ice Louis Nowra explores the many meanings of this three letter word to construct an entertaining and thoroughly engaging historical novel set mostly in Australia in the late 19th century. 
1 September, 2008 Deception is Michael Meehan’s third novel, following on from the award-winners 
1 September, 2008 Crossing Paths falls with a resounding thump into the category of chick-lit. Which isn’t a slight on this book; on the contrary, I found it to be a relaxing, funny read. 
1 September, 2008 The narrator is Isabel, an attractive, intelligent woman reflecting on her life and family, whom we follow from her first marriage to her awareness of limitations brought by middle-age. We all know an ‘Isabel’ in our circle of family or friends. 
12 August, 2008 Richard Francis Burton was as explorer, translator, writer, soldier, orientalist, ethnologist, linguist, poet, hypnotist, fencer and diplomat. So says Wikipedia. And if the success of a novel based on the life of an historic personage is that it makes you want to know more about that person, then, in my case, The Collector of Worlds, clearly succeeded. 
1 August, 2008 Like a sleuth, Margaret Wilcox spent 14 years doggedly searching the world to be reunited with her abducted daughter, Tanya. 
1 August, 2008 The experience of reality TV seems to assert that anybody’s life can be interesting, but In Harm’s Way assuredly dispels that myth. 
1 August, 2008 Having listened to Robert Gray talk at the Salamanca Writers’ Festival once in Hobart I was very keen to read this autobiography and my expectations were both rewarded and redefined. 
1 August, 2008 If you are someone who thinks that wisdom can be measured by your shoe size, or the kind of girl who thinks that a sixth sense might be able to help you sniff out fashion bargains, then this is the book for you. 
1 August, 2008 Where many readers (and writers) might hesitate before picking up a large volume like Pam Peters’ excellent Cambridge Guide to Australian English Usage, The Little Green Grammar Book is far more approachable for the non-specialist: reasonably concise, consciously un-academic and eminently practical. 
1 August, 2008 In combining the best elements of personal recollection, imagery and regional culture, Amanda Tabberer’s first book, My Amalfi Coast, will interest readers of memoir, travel books, design and coffee table biographies. 
1 August, 2008 Design books have always been popular. Like travel and cookbooks, they answer the aspirational within us. 
1 August, 2008 Michele Di’Bartolo has written a book all about hybridity; it is part cookbook and part memoir. 
1 August, 2008 In his early 40s, and as a father of six, David Gillespie finally overcame the obesity he’d battled his entire adult life. 
1 August, 2008 Such an important document is held between Michel Streich’s bold Piccaso-like illustrations, and it is, as the title suggests, the UN-adopted Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 
1 August, 2008 Of the 14 contemporary women profiled in Women of the Outback I confess I planned to read about half, then write a general review. 
1 August, 2008 Books about humour don’t have to be funny, but they must be careful not to kill the thing they love. 
1 August, 2008 The SBS Story is described as the first ‘comprehensive account’ of the development and significance of the ‘world’s first multicultural public service broadcaster’, and it is. |
