COMP CLOSED – WIN a five-book Mother’s Day pack

This week and next we’ll be giving you the opportunity to win FIVE BOOKS that you can keep for yourself or give to your mum in time for Mother’s Day on 13 May 2018. Either way, they’re going to be the welcome addition to someone’s bookshelf – will it be yours?

The books are:

  • The Secrets at Ocean’s Edge by Kali Napier
    Inspired by the author's own family history, a haunting, memorable and moving tale of one family's search for belonging. If you loved The Light Between Oceans and The Woolgrower's Companion you will love this story.
  • Wimmera by Mark Brandi
    Small town. Big secret. An unforgettable literary crime debut that brings the darkness in an Australian country town vividly to life, as it slowly reveals its devastating secrets.
  • The Wife by Alafair Burke
    The Wife is the standalone follow-up to Alafair Burke's brilliant, Edgar nominated, The Ex (2016): a woman must make the impossible choice between defending her husband and saving herself.
  • The Nest by Cynthia D’Aprix Sweeney
    This is a darkly comic portrait of a dysfunctional American family coming to terms with notions of disappearing savings and expectations of an inheritance known as The Nest.
  • The Paris Seamstress by Natasha Lester
    Crossing generations, society's boundaries and international turmoil, The Paris Seamstress is the beguiling, transporting story of the special relationship between a grandmother and her granddaughter as they attempt to heal the heartache of the past.
