'An incredible story of courage, devotion and daring, filled with vivid prose and rich detail. A must-read' CHANEL CLEETON 'Natasha Lester uncovers stories of women from history and drapes them in velvet' The Australian Women's Weekly From Australian bestseller Natasha Lester, an epic, sweeping novel of one young woman who risks everything to lead the largest spy network in occupied France - and change the course of World War Two. Morocco, 1928. Eighteen-year-old Parisienne Marie-Madeleine is not the kind of woman who goes through life sitting down, something her new husband can attest. Her unconventionalities - rally car driving, flying planes and dabbling in intelligence work for the government - earn her a reputation, but she knows who she is at heart: an adventurer. Paris, 1936. As Europe teeters on the brink of war, a chance encounter with a man codenamed Navarre turns Marie-Madeleine's life upside down. Recruited to help build a resistance network known only as Alliance, she conceals her identity - and her gender - as she navigates a perilous double life away from her children and the man she loves. Bestselling Australian novelist Natasha Lester passionately brings to life the incredible true story of one of history's unsung heroes: Marie-Madeleine Fourcade, the only woman to lead a resistance network in WWII France. 'Lester writes with razor-sharp research and admiration for a woman whose name deserves to be blazed across the pages of history' KATE QUINN 'Gripping . . . The fearless Marie-Madeleine Fourcade's story is one that deserves to be read' West Australian 'Written with heart, passion, and impeccable historical research, a powerful story readers will not be able to put down' MADELINE MARTIN 'Lester brings this unique story to life in vivid colour' Daily Telegraph 'Deeply researched and gorgeously written' KERRI MAHER

FROM THE PULITZER-WINNING, BOOKER-SHORTLISTED ELIZABETH STROUT COMES A STUNNING STANDALONE NOVEL OF LOVE, LONELINESS AND NEW BEGINNINGS 'Emotionally stunning, devastatingly wise . . . her best novel yet' RACHEL JOYCE ‘A moving, tender and wise novel about a committed teacher who is utterly confounded by the emotional complexities of daily life. This might be Elizabeth Strout’s best yet’ CLARE CHAMBERS Artie Dam is a man with a secret. He spends his days teaching history to high schoolers, expanding their young minds, correcting their casual cruelties, and lending a kind word to those who need it most. He goes to holiday parties with his wife of three decades, makes small talk with neighbours, and, on weekends, takes his sailboat out on the beautiful Massachusetts Bay. He is, by all appearances, present and alive. But inside, Artie is plagued by feelings of isolation. He looks out at a world gone mad—at himself and the people around him—and turns a question over and over in his mind: how is it that we know so little about one another, even those closest to us? And then, one day, Artie learns that life has been keeping a secret from him, one that threatens to upend his entire world. Once he learns it, he is forced to chart a new course, to reconsider the relationships he holds most dear—and to make peace with the mysteries at the heart of our existence. With exquisite prose and profound insight, Elizabeth Strout captures the way grief reverberates through decades, the comfort found in deep friendships and the freedom that comes when we break free of our secrets. The Things We Never Say is a stunning new novel from one of our most acclaimed observers of the human heart. *** PRAISE FOR ELIZABETH STROUT: 'A terrific writer' ZADIE SMITH 'A superbly gifted storyteller' HILARY MANTEL 'Elizabeth Strout is one of my very favourite writers' ANN PATCHETT 'Strout's ability to reveal wonder in unrecorded lives continues to astonish' TELEGRAPH 'She gets better with each book' MAGGIE O'FARRELL 'A beautiful read' OPRAH WINFREY 'Strout is, as ever, wonderfully attentive life's escapable cruelties and woes' SUNDAY TIMES

It is a sad fact of life that if a young woman is unlucky enough to come into the world without expectations, she had better do all she can to ensure she is born beautiful. To be handsome and poor is misfortune enough; but to be both plain and penniless is a hard fate indeed. In Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice , Mary is the middle of the five Bennet girls and the plainest of them all, so what hope does she have? Prim and pious, with no redeeming features, she is unloved and seemingly unlovable. The Other Bennet Sister , though, shows another side to Mary. An introvert in a family of extroverts; a constant disappointment to her mother who values beauty above all else; fearful of her father’s sharp tongue; with little in common with her siblings - is it any wonder she turns to books for both company and guidance? And, if she finds her life lonely or lacking, that she determines to try harder at the one thing she can be: right. One by one, her sisters marry - Jane and Lizzy for love; Lydia for some semblance of respectability - but Mary, it seems, is destined to remain single and live out her life at Longbourn, at least until her father dies and the house is bequeathed to the reviled Mr Collins. But when that fateful day finally comes, she slowly discovers that perhaps there is hope for her, after all. Simultaneously a wonderfully warm homage to Jane Austen and a delightful new story in its own right, Janice Hadlow's The Other Bennet Sister is, at its heart, a life-affirming tale of a young woman finding her place in the world. Witty and uplifting, it will make you feel - and cheer - for Mary as you never have before.

Because at seventy-three, Sybil has used her correspondence – witty and wise – to make sense of the world. But beyond the page, she has spent the last thirty years keeping the people who love her at arms’ length... Until letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life. Now, Sybil must send the letter she has been writing for all these years - and find forgiveness within herself in order to move on. Sybil Van Antwerp’s life of letters might be ‘a very small thing’, but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read.
