## A devastating yet enlightening look into the private thoughts and feelings of an incredible woman. It is a privilege to read. ### Tye Cattanach, friend of Readings Spanning two decades from 1978 to 1998, How to End a Story brings all three volumes of Helen Garner's diaries into one sumptuous volume. Devastatingly honest and disarmingly funny, How to End a Story is a portrait of loss, betrayal, and the sheer force of a woman's anger – but also of hard work and resilience, moments of hope and joy, the immutable ties of motherhood, and the regenerative power of a room of one's own.

## Mildenhall’s latest novel, a crime story, is completely and utterly outrageous. I read it in one sitting. ### Chris Gordon, Readings bookseller From the acclaimed Australian writer Kate Mildenhall, The Hiding Place is a razor-sharp literary thriller about deception and self-deception, and how far people will go to protect what they feel they ought to have.

## Gray writes with a rare blend of tenderness and precision ... A book to savour slowly, share in conversation, and carry into the warmer months. ### Thomas Busse, Readings bookseller Set in Sydney over eighteen years, Chosen Family follows two friends from school, to university, to careers, to motherhood. As they grow into themselves, Nell and Eve will love each other and hurt each other – through the chlorine-scented savagery of adolescence; long, drunken nights in share houses and gay bars; the highs and lows of parenthood.
While stock lasts we are delighted to have signed copies of Chosen Family available to buy online and in our shops at the special price of $29.99 (was $34.99). Please note that signed copies are limited.
