The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas
- £12.99 Price: £11.69 Add to Basket
- The slapping of a three year old child is the trigger for a microscopic analysis of the hopes and fears of suburban Australians. While it is almost painfully intrusive into the minds of its characters, it never fails to grip and deals rigorously with the social and political reality of contemporary Australia.
-
Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey
- £6.99 Price: £6.29 Add to Basket
- A brilliant novel set in small town Australia during the 1960s. Charlie Bucktin is the geeky kid in class but his life is turned upside down when local bad boy Jasper Jones knocks on his window late one evening. Utterly absorbing and often very funny, Silvey's novel deals with racism, inhumanity and the awkward process of growing up. We cannot recommend this Australian To Kill a Mockingbird more highly.
