From bestselling author John Boyne, this is a contemplative story about one man trying to move forward from the trauma of his youth to become a better father to his son. Being in limbo, 30,000 feet in the air, offers time to reflect and take stock. For Aaron Umber, it’s an opportunity to connect with his 14-year-old son as they travel to meet a woman who isn’t expecting them. The damage inflicted upon Aaron during his youth has made him the man he is, but now threatens to widen the fissures between him and his only child.
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU, RRP $38.
The new gripping thriller by Andrea Mara, who turns ordinary fears into extraordinary thrillers. Look what you started. You press send. Your message is full of secrets about your neighbours. It’s meant for your sister, but it doesn’t reach her – it goes to the entire local community WhatsApp group instead. Now everyone knows what you did. As rumour spreads like wildfire through the picture-perfect neighbourhood, you convince yourself people will move on, that this will quickly be forgotten. But then you receive the first death threat. And someone wants you dead.
