Author: Eliza Henry-Jones ISBN: 9781460750384 RRP: $29.99 In 2015 we reviewed In The Quiet which was the beautifully written debut of the talented Eliza Henry-Jones, she went straight onto my watch list and I jumped at the chance to review her second novel Ache.

Book Club: The Golden Child
Author: Wendy James ISBN: 978-1-4607-5237-1 RRP: $32.99 Wendy James is an Australian author I was not familiar with before the release of The Golden Child but now that I have read her latest release I think she needs to remain on my radar.
