The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka by Clare Wright
The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka by Clare Wright is the uncut story of the day the Australian people found their voice.
The story is one of Australia’s foundation legends, but until now it has been told as though only half the participants were there.
What if the hot-tempered, free-wheeling gold miners we learnt about in school were actually husbands and fathers, brothers and sons? And what if there were women and children inside the Eureka Stockade, defending their rights while defending themselves against a barrage of bullets? As Clare Wright reveals, there were thousands of women on the goldfields and many of them were active in pivotal roles.
The stories of how they arrived there, why they came and how they sustained themselves make for fascinating reading in their own right.
But it is in the rebellion itself that the unbiddable women of Ballarat come into their own.
Groundbreaking, absorbing, crucially important, this is a novel perfect for everyone’s Christmas Giving Hit List.

Dreaming Too Loud: Reflections on a Race Apart by Geoffrey Robertson
Dreaming Too Loud: Reflections on a Race Apart by Geoffrey Robertson is delivered with the author’s renowned trademark intelligence, humour and humanity.
“Here is a broad and liberal mind at work on some of the big questions of our time: a powerhouse display of insight and good humour’ says Mike Carlton.
Robertson’s expatriate (but not ex-patriot) vision picks the real winners and losers in the Australian race.
Here you will find new heroes in our history, such as the schoolteacher who stopped Ned Kelly’s planned terrorist atrocity at Glenrowan, and the squadron leader who led ‘the few’ – the airmen who held the Japanese at bay after the fall of Singapore.
There are insights into Australian education, the story of wrongly jailed Aboriginal mother Nancy Young, encounters with Vaclav Havel, Rupert Murdoch, Michael Kirby, John Mortimer and Julian Assange, the transcript of a previously banned Hypothetical, reflections on worldwide problems such as torture, terrorism and the Catholic church, and much else besides.

On the Noodle Road by Jen Lin-Liu is an appetite-whetting journalistic encounter with the delights and pleasures of the table via the humble noodle
Feasting her way through an Italian honeymoon, Jen Lin-Liu was struck by culinary echoes of the delicacies she ate and cooked back in China, where she’d lived for more than a decade.
Who really invented the noodle? she wondered, like many before her.
With her new husband’s blessing, she set out along the ancient trading route of the Silk Road to discover the connections, both historical and personal, eating a path through western China and on into Central Asia, Iran, Turkey, and across the Mediterranean.
Her fascinating journey takes Lin-Liu into the private kitchens where the head scarves come off and women not only knead and simmer but also confess and confide.
The thin rounds of dough stuffed with meat that are dumplings in Beijing evolve into manti in Turkey – their tiny size the measure of a bride’s worth – and end as tortellini in Italy.
And as she stirs and tastes, listening to the women talk about their lives and longings, Lin-Liu gains a new appreciation of her own marriage, learning to savour the sweetness of love freely chosen.
‘Some writers follow the money; Jen Lin-Liu follows the noodle.’ – Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea
About the Author
JEN LIN-LIU was born in California but has lived in China for more than half of her adult life. The founder of Black Sesame Kitchen, a Beijing cooking school, she is the author of a previous book, Serve the People: A Stir-Fried Journey through China. She has written about food, culture, and travel for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Saveur, Newsweek, Travel + Leisure, and others.

Peas & Queues: The Minefield of Modern Manners by Sandi Toksvig
Peas & Queues: The Minefield of Modern Manners by Sandi Toksvig who delivers an entertaining and down-to-earth guide to what to do and why to do it in the confusing world of modern manners
How do you get rid of unwanted guests? What do you do if there’s a racket in the quiet carriage? How to behave, like how to punctuate, is an aspect of life that many are no longer taught ? and getting it wrong is the stuff of comedy at best and humiliation at worst. Thankfully, Sandi Toksvig has come to the rescue with her entertaining guide to modern manners,with tips on what to do whether you’re talking to a bore, or forgot their name in the first place. (Just call them ‘darling’.)
The award-winning Radio 4 broadcaster and writer offers guidance on the social pitfalls of every phase of life, from christenings to condolence letters – and has uncovered fascinating details about how our manners have changed across time, from the earliest etiquettes (little cards to remind courtiers how to behave) to the changing nature of spoons. With characteristic wit and perceptiveness, and revealing the trickiest of her encounters along the way, she highlights decency rather than convention and provides an essential guide to twenty-first century behaviour.
About the Author
Sandi Toksvig is a well known broadcaster for both television and radio. She has written more than twenty books including fiction and non-fiction for both adults and children, is a regular columnist for Good Housekeeping magazine and in September 2012 her latest play ‘Bully Boy’ was the opening production for London’s first new theatre in thirty years, the St James. Sandi is the new Chancellor of Portsmouth University.

Sins of the Flesh by Colleen McCullough is her finest mystery yet, her hero involved in plot that turns on the sort of science McCullough herself knows so well
It’s August 1969 in the sleepy college town of Holloman, Connecticut, and police Captain Carmine Delmonico is away on vacation. Back at home, first one, then two anonymous male corpses turn up-emaciated and emasculated. After connecting the victims to four other bodies, Sergeant Delia Carstairs and Lieutenant Abe Goldberg realize that Holloman has a psychopathic killer on the loose. Luckily, Carmine decides to come back from vacation early.
Carmine’s team begins to circle a trio of eccentrics, who readily admit to knowing all the victims, but their stories keep changing. They share family ties, painful memories, and a dark past. One of them is a new friend of Carmine’s invaluable sergeant, Delia Carstairs, as is the respected head of the mental hospital, who has been doing groundbreaking work rehabilitating one very difficult patient who is now her trusted assistant. When another vicious murder rocks Holloman, Carmine faces the revelation that two killers are at large with completely different modus operandi even as he barely escapes being next in the body count. Suddenly the summer isn’t so sleepy anymore.
A riveting mystery series by an author of astounding range and skill, Colleen McCullough’s Carmine Delmonico books take you back to an age of classic police work, before DNA analysis and computers.

The World According to Karl has a forword by Patrick Mauriès and Edited by Jean-Christophe Napias, and contains the wit and wisdom of the world’s most admired fashion designer Karl Lagerfield
A modern master of couture Karl Lagerfield is also famously outspoken: his wise, surprising statements pop up like offbeat news flashes. This collection of quotations pays homage to the legendary éminence grise of the fashion world.
Lagerfeld’s pronouncements – on fashion, women, art, politics, love, and life high and low – are famously oracular, seized upon by fashionistas, acolytes and sages around the world.
Created with the full approval of the designer himself, this cornucopia of Lagerfeld’s maxims is required reading for us all today as we negotiate the trickiest curves of modern life.
Cultivated, unpredictable, provocative, sometimes shocking, Lagerfeld’s ‘bons mots’ are always impossible to ignore.
While simultaneously running Chanel, Fendi, and his own eponymous fashion house, he has consistently re-invented trends on the catwalk and in the street for half a century. His wise, surprising statements pop up like offbeat news flashes and are regularly seized upon by fashionistas, acolytes, and sages the world over.
Here, in his own deadpan words, are his exacting opinions on everything-from fashion, style, women, and Chanel to fame, life, and books. This is the ultimate repertoire of wit and wisdom from fashion’s sharpest pin. “I only know how to play one role: me.” “Think pink. But don’t wear it.” “I like everything to be washable, myself included.” “Change is the healthiest way to survive.” “I don’t recommend myself as a guest.” “There is one thing I love on earth: to learn.”
Jean-Christophe Napias is an author, translator and editor of books on dandies, dance music and camp culture. Sandrine Gulbenkian is director of Parigramme, a Parisian publishing house. Patrick Mauriès is a writer and publisher of many notable titles on fashion and design, including Jewelry by Chanel, also published by Thames & Hudson.
