As we gear up for an Australian summer that is guaranteed to be a scorcher, William McInnes applies his larger than life personality to stories of life under the Australian sun.
The Saturday Age calls it 'A mix of memoir, observation and discourse, delivered in the seemingly off-hand manner of a backyard semiotician’.
It’s not a straight line from the fast lane to the baking game; there’s a lot of uphill and there can be perilous lows.
Kate Reid has travelled this path – from Formula 1 to founding Lune Croissanterie – and succeeded wildly (in business and in life), by giving her all to her passions.
Bryce Courtenay was one of Australia's highest-selling and most-loved authors as well as a larger-than-life character. Many of his fans would have thought they knew him, and they did – they knew the version of him that he wanted to present to the world. Bryce's son Adam Courtenay also knew that version. And he knew the Bryce the rest of the world only glimpsed, or never saw at all.
Egyptian/Australian journalist, Daniel Nour, says this is the book for you if you've ever had someone try to arrange a marriage for you, have so many cousins you can't remember all their names, if your parents only show love through food and unsolicited advice, or if your family still thinks your 'roommate' is 'just a great friend'.
Growing up, SBS Insight host Kumi Taguchi thought her father was merely distant: reserved, obsessively frugal and – after her parents’ divorce – almost entirely missing. When he died, Kumi’s feelings about him and the Japanese heritage he had given her remained tangled.
In The Good Daughter, Kumi sets out to understand the dad she never really knew, and – along the way – herself.
Jacqueline Kent looks at the women between the early suffragettes and the feminists of the 1970s – their lives, their causes, their words, art and achievements.
Inconvenient Women traces these women's stories, shaped by the seismic social and political events of their time, and illuminates their immense courage and principled determination to change the world.
'Frog', a term of endearment for intensive care paramedics, derives from the notion that everything they touch croaks.
Sally Gould delivers a gripping and heartfelt memoir that dives into the unpredictable, often absurd, and sometimes heartbreaking reality of life as a paramedic.
'What does it mean to be on land that was taken from other people? Now that we know how the taking was done, what do we do with that knowledge?'
Kate Grenville is no stranger to the past. Her success and fame as a writer exploded when she published The Secret River in 2005, a bestseller based on the story of her convict ancestor, an early settler on the Hawkesbury River.
More than two decades on, and following the defeat of the Voice referendum, Grenville is still grappling with what it means to descend from people who were, as she puts it, "on the sharp edge of the moving blade that was colonisation".
Grantlee Kieza (Sister Viv, Banjo, Mr & Mrs Gould) writes about iconic Australian lives. His latest book focuses on the extraordinary story of Annette Kellerman – swimmer, daredevil, trailblazer and Hollywood star ...
