How to Be Good order quantity
  +   -
 
NZ$ 22.95 each
Paperback
Author: Nick Hornby
According to her own complex moral calculations, Katie Carr has earned her affair. She's a doctor, after all, and doctors are decent people, and on top of that, her husband David is the self-styled Angriest Man in Holloway. But when David suddenly becomes good - properly, maddeningly, give-away-all-his-money good - Katie's sums no longer add up, and she is forced to ask herself some very hard questions... How To Be Good offers a painfully funny account of modern marriage and parenthood, and asks that most difficult of questions: what does it mean to be good?

If the Invader Comes order quantity
  +   -
NZ$ 21.95 each
Paperback
Author: Derek Beaven
A critically acclaimed, Booker-longlisted novel that is reminiscent of Pat Barker’s Regeneration Trilogy.

Clarice Pike and Vic Warren are from completely different backgrounds. An impossible affair has already driven them thousands of miles apart. The year 1939 finds Clarice in Malaya where her father is an obscure company doctor, and Vic in East London, an unemployed shipwright unhappily married to Phylis, Clarice's cousin. As their feelings conspire to draw the lovers back together, the world erupts with a terrible violence. It is the relentlessness of male brutality that forces Vic to grope towards what real manhood might be.

If the Invader Comes combines themes from Derek Beaven's previously acclaimed Newton’s Niece and Acts of Mutiny to portray a wartime England where human relationships are threatened as much from within the family as from occupied Europe. Exciting, moving and ultimately ... more

NZ$ 22.95 each
Paperback
Author: Harper Beverley
'Twelve pairs of eyes watched the Land Rovers leave ... Once the tourists were out of sight, their leader rose and gestured that the others should follow. Their destination lay thirteen kilometres to the east - Logans Island Lodge.' As the last guests of summer are welcomed to a luxury lodge in Etosha National Park, Namibia, thoughts are predominantly on the three-month break ahead.
Camping in the park nearby, Professor Eben Kruger has his work cut out keeping the attention of the university students in his charge on the behavioural habits of the cunning jackal. Not one could ever be prepared for the horrendous events about to take place.

Each will be pushed to breaking point as the quest for survival becomes the only thing that matters.

Last Orders order quantity

Paperback
Author: Graham Swift
Four men once close to Jack Dodds, a London butcher, meet to carry out his peculiar last wish: to have his ashes scattered into the sea. For reasons best known to herself, Jack's widow, Amy, declines to join them. On the surface the tale of a simple if increasingly bizarre day's outing, "Last Orders" is Graham Swift's most poignant exploration of the complexity and courage of ordinary lives.

Lord John and the Private Matter order quantity

NZ$ 34.95 each
Paperback
Author: Diana Gabaldon
A sweeping historical drama set in eighteenth century England, Scotland and France

Lord John Grey is a man at the centre of the political upheavals that rocked Britain in the mid-eighteenth century. The Jacobites are still a threat, and the old enemy, France, is ready and willing to exploit the situation to its own advantage. London, Edinburgh and Paris are hotbeds of espionage, intrigue and murder. Lord John, having been removed from London for some time, appears to be above the plotting and does not appear to have any allegiance to one clique or another. So when a murder takes place, and seems to be the result of French espionage, he is the one who seems best placed to be able to unravel the knots.

But who is John Grey, where do his allegiances lie, and who, in the long run, who he follow and serve?

Paperback
Author: Hewson, David
Venice 1733: the young Lorenzo Scacchi has just arrived in the city to work for his uncle at the renowned printing press of Ca’ Scacchi. Awed by Venice’s splendour, Lorenzo discovers a world of possibilities he has never before dreamed of. But he finds a darker side too. Ordered by his uncle to chaperone a beautiful and gifted violinist who cannot openly reveal her identity, Lorenzo is drawn into a dangerous game of deception, with horrifying consequences.

More than 250 years later, a young Englishman, Daniel Forster, comes to Venice for a summer job and is immediately seduced by the city’s beauty and exoticism. Cataloguing a library in the Ca’ Scacchi, Daniel discovers the manuscript of an anonymous eighteenth-century concerto. Soon he has become involved in an elaborate scam, leading to a vertiginous spiral of criminal conspiracy and erotic pursuit.

Marrying the Mistress order quantity

Paperback
Author: Joanna Trollope
Merrion Palmer was Judge Guy Stockdale's mistress. His Honour's totty, as the Clerk to the Court so succinctly put it. Guy had been having an affair with her for seven years, and neither Laura, his wife of forty years, nor his two grown-up sons, knew anything about her. Guy and Merrion enjoyed a blissful, uncomplicated relationship in stolen moments in Merrion's Bayswater flat, but to the rest of the world Guy seemed to be the model husband, father and grandfather.

Now the time had come for Guy to move on. Conscious of the passing years, of the wasted opportunities, he didn't want to keep Merrion a secret any more. He wanted to share her with his family, with the world. He wanted, dammit, to marry her. And he was quite unprepared for the painful storm which followed.

Joanna Trollope has written eleven highly-acclaimed contemporary novels: The Choir, A Village Affair, A Passionate Man, The Rector’s ... more

There's a problem: if he wins, he's got no wife, no child, no future...

Of a Boy order quantity

Hardback
Author: Sonya Hartnett
The Metfords have not been lost or abandoned - they have been made to disappear. They have not run away - they have been lifted up and carried. They've been taken somewhere as distant as Jupiter. Adrian has never thought that an ordinary child, a kid like himself or Clinton or that freckle-nosed girl, might be of interest to anyone excepting family and friends, that an ordinary child could be worth taking or wanting, a desirable thing.
The year is 1977, and Adrian is nine. He lives with his gran and his uncle Rory; his best friend is Clinton Tull. He loves to draw and he wants a dog; he's afraid of quicksand, shopping centres and self-combustion. Adrian watches his suburban world, but there is much he cannot understand. He does not for instance, know why three neighbourhood children might set out to buy ice-cream and never come back home. . .

Sonya Hartnett captures perfectly the tenderness and skewed perceptions of childhood. Of ... more
