The Girl in the Mirror

6.30pm AEST, Thursday September 10

An edge-of-your-seat thriller featuring identical twins (Gone Girl fans this one is for you), Rose Carlyle’s debut novel is an addictive thriller about greed, lust, secrets and deadly lies. Set on a boat in the Seychelles, sisters Summer and Iris take the reader on a wild ride, across an ocean and into the depths of a family ridden with jealousy.

Girl, Woman, Other

6.30pm AEST, Thursday September 24

Girl, Woman, Other sweeps through more than 100 years of change, painting a vibrant portrait of contemporary Britain through the stories of 12 women. Written by Bernardine Evaristo, the novel raises timeless questions about feminism and race, as it follows our characters through a variety of decades and experiences. Joyful, contemporary and dynamic, it maps a new kind of history that has caused it to be named ‘a novel of our times’. Find a stockist here.

The Morbids

6.30pm AEST, Thursday October 8

Heart-wrenching, heart-warming and ultimately uplifting, The Morbids is a story about the power of a little kindness – something we could all use right now. Written by Eva Ramsey, it follows our protagonist Caitlin as she is involved in a car accident, leaving her with a deep, unshakable understanding that she’s only alive by mistake. It touches on themes of hidden loneliness and companionship, reminding us that life is an adventure truly worth living… even if we’re barely able to leave the house.  Find a stockist here.
