Women’s stories lead the pack in April. Amanda Lohrey’s 2021 Miles Franklin Literary Award winner arrives in a beautiful smaller format; Claire Christian’s joyful and sexy rom-com tackles co-parenting and polyamory; proud Wiradjuri woman Brenda Matthews shares her incredible story of heartbreak and healing; we reunite with the fierce Novak gangland family in The Double Bind; and Fernanda Melchor blends reportage and narrative in a compelling story collection. 

We also have an uplifting collection of personal essays that celebrate all forms of family. Dr. No is a genre-defying novel that must be read to be believed. And for lower-YA readers, Selfie is a funny, tender story about the complexities of social media.
