A poignant novel by a fresh Australian voice,
The Promise Seed will move and
mesmerise you.

This is a beautifully paced debut … it’s a thoughtful portrait of friendship, family and loneliness, and Moriarty’s finely drawn characters … bring levity and pathos to a sombre but moving story.

Books + Publishing

Parting Words is a gripping story that exposes family silences, and questions how well we really know those close to us.

…a beautifully written opening scene; and a cast of lightly drawn characters. This is a nuanced love letter to parents who have passed on; something that will no doubt resonate with many.

What Am I Reading?

The Silk House – Kayte Nunn

The new novel by author Kayte Nunn is The Silk House (Hachette 2020), a gothic, haunting and thrilling tale of an English residence and some who have lived there over its 150-year history. Reminiscent of the novels by Kate Morton, The Silk House follows the lives of three different women in different times, all connected to the one old house, as the story explores the subjects of weaving, textiles, archaeology and history, botany, witchcraft, herbalism, mothering, apothecary and ghosts, and the themes of haunting, loss, ambition and superstition. The story features strong female characters unafraid to test the boundaries of their times and determined to uncover the truth that evades them.

The Giant and the Sea – Trent Jamieson

The Giant and the Sea (Lothian 2020) is a mesmerising and timely picture book with an intriguing story written by Trent Jamieson and stunning illustrations by Rovina Cai.
