Australia's favourite independent bookshop

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.

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.
