A quirky tale of the perils of being a time traveller. Not science fiction - I would have hated it if it was.
- not the English county but a person who is biologically somewhere between a man and a woman. As much the history of a Greek family and the Detroit motor industry as it is about the gender of the protagonist.
The true story of a charismatic pot-smoking oxford graduate from a Welsh mining town who masterminds international drug shipments.
A mystery set in Barcelona.
A must read for all New Zealanders.
The story of an Afghani boy who moves to the USA but leaves unfinished business behind in Afghanistan.
Sarah Turnbull arrived in Paris to stay with a charming Frenchman for a week and was still there 8 years later. An Australian girl's perspective on fitting into French culture.
There is a lot of controversy about this book. It was written as a true story but, following its success, it has emerged that James Frey embellished many of the details. Nevertheless, a raw and sometimes shocking story of addiction that keeps you hooked.
