ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- In Sydney, Mark finds his life adrift - divorced and unemployed - and in looking for a way out, buys a fixer-upper in southern France. It doesn't take long before questions and secrets arise around Mark's newly adopted town of Villemont.
Paul Harmon's thoughtful novel moves between timelines of present-day and of 80 years ago, drawing on themes around provincial life in southern France, Jewish persecution and art theft during WWII, the plight of refugees - and a dash of internal life upheaval, starting over and finding love again.

Julia Levitina takes us back to 1983, Moscow, where twenty-one-year-old Ella dreams of stardom and playing Natasha Rostova in War and Peace at the Moscow Theatre Academy. However, life becomes complicated when she gets caught up in a protest while meeting a friend in the city and appears on the KGB radar. Things get even worse when her husband is charged and imprisoned, thwarting their plans to flee Russia. The Girl From Moscow is a gripping thriller in which you can journey through a dark era of Russian history.
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- One day Tilda's finger disappears. She can feel it, but it's invisible. As more parts of her start to disappear she is horrified to learn that there is an epidemic that isn't being dealt with - one that only afflicts women, usually of a certain age: invisibility. In fact, the medical community has ignored it because it's a female scourge... Tilda has made her living from inspirational quotes, but she is going to need more than a bon mot to deal with her new reality.
From non-supportive support groups to radical self-help treatment by a reviled female doctor, and with the help - or hindrance - of her female friends and family, Tilda has to learn how to reclaim her confidence and make herself seen again... I thought it a shame that Tilda had to find the perfect man (a handsome and wealthy one who is physically blind, so he can 'see' her...) to help her in her quest for visibility, but there are some very interesting concepts and characterisations that redeem that romance trope! Lindy
Linda Margolin Royal's story is inspired by true events and is a powerful and moving telling of the true story of Japanese diplomat, Chiune Sugihara and the thousands of people who owe him their lives. In 1940, as the Nazis sweep toward Lithuania, Sugihara defies his government and secretly issues visas to fleeing Jewish refugees. After the war, Sugihara is dismissed and disappears into obscurity...
Imbi Neeme presents her charming, nostalgic, quirky, uplifting novel of people young and old finding their tribe, gaining courage to be themselves and perhaps falling in love, too.
Librarian Phoebe Cotton lives with misophonia. The sound of other people crunching an apple, slurping their tea or snapping chewing gum fills her with a rage that she buries deep within. Mortified by her 'Not Quite Right' brain, she hides away in the family home. But when Phoebe begins receiving mysterious postcards in the mail, she slowly, but surely, finds herself being pulled back out into the world and towards Monty, the sweet postal clerk.
Sarah Sasson's novel confronts the issue of how strong a friendship is and what would happen when it's pushed to its absolute limits. A couple of decades ago Grub spent the summer with her older brother Elijah and his best friend Zed where they'd spend their days swimming and loving life. That was until Elijah disappeared which leads to tensions between Grub and Zed. Was Zed responsible or was it just an unfortunate accident?
Amy Brown's novel was originally to be a historical fiction story about Miles Franklin, but then grew beyond that to focus on the choices that women make between family life and their careers. Sisters Linda and Stella at the centre of the story have completely different lifestyles.
