New Australian fiction to discover this month

A moving and fascinating fictionalised account of the experience of migration, written with great love and compassion.

 

Mark Rubbo, Readings chairman

 

Inspired by his own family history, Moreno Giovannoni's new novel The Immigrants depicts an Italian family as they build a new life in 1960s regional Australia.

'A story of women’s ambition, about memory and about how we all want certain things to be true.' – Chris Gordon, Readings bookseller
 'A raw, honest, and audacious take on the AFL machine ... eye-opening, eye-watering, and surprisingly emotional.' – Alison Huber, head book buyer

A hilarious, tense and painfully real tale of prejudice and its many consequences, and of how people respond to loss. 

 

Elke Power, Readings bookseller

 

Drawing comparisons to both Deadloch and Too Much Lip, Dead Ends is a beguiling, big-hearted portrait of love and loss, and the bad decisions we make in their wake.
