| The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht $36.99 Set in war-torn Yugoslavia, The Tiger's Wife is a tale steeped in local fables and driven by one woman's experience of the never-ending violence that swept the Balkans. Bettany Hughes, Chair of Orange Prize, said: "'The Tiger's Wife is an exceptional book and Téa Obreht is a truly exciting new talent. Obreht's powers of observation and her understanding of the world are remarkable. By skilfully spinning a series of magical tales she has managed to bring the tragedy of chronic Balkan conflict thumping into our front rooms with a bittersweet vivacity." |

Nothing to Envy: Love, Life and Death in North Korea by Barbara Demick $39.99 What if everything around you was black and white except for the red letters on propaganda signs? Where spies like Orwell's Thought Police studied your facial expressions during political rallies to make sure you were sincere in your expressions and your thoughts? If you couldn't turn the dials of your radio away from the government station? In fact, there is such a place: North Korea.
In Nothing to Envy, Demick re-traces the life of Mi-ran and of five other North Koreans, taking us into the heart of an elusive society. We see her subjects fall in love, nurture ambitions, and struggle with survival and betrayal. Their stories form a haunting portrait of a bizarre society and the cost it exacts on its citizens.

Truth by Peter Temple $37.00 Over a few sweltering summer days, as fires burn across the state and his superiors and colleagues scheme and jostle, Inspector Villani finds all the certainties of his life are crumbling. The 2010 Miles Franklin winner is a novel about a man, a family and a city. It is about violence, murder, love, corruption, honour and deceit - but most of all it is about truth. Buy now |
