SHORTLISTED FOR THE POLARI FIRST BOOK PRIZE 2022______________________________________________________________________________________ an explicitly inclusive, thoughtful, joyful read - REFINERY 29 This love letter of sorts to inclusive queer women s culture is perfect for anyone who s just come out, wants to know what the heck s going on or has yearned for an entire chapter dedicated to the film Carol. - DIVA An introspective dive into the fast-moving world of queer culture, Daisy unpacks some of the 21st century s biggest lesbian and bisexual moments to paint a portrait of what modern-day queerness looks like. - GAY TIMES Daisy Jones effortlessly explores queer culture - COSMOPOLITAN ______________________________________________________________________________________A modern, personal guide to the culture of queer women and everyone in between.All The Things She Said explores the nature of 21st century queerness. Lesbian and bi culture is ever-changing and here, journalist Daisy Jones unpicks outdated stereotypes and shows how, over the past few years, the style and shared language of queer women has slowly infiltrated the mainstream. (Think less hemp sandals, IKEA trips and nut milks and more freedom, expression, community. And Cate Blanchett.)From the dingy basement clubs of east London to the unchartered realms of TikTok, cutting in DIY mullets and christening Meryl Streep Daddy , Daisy explores the multifaceted nature of what it means to be lesbian or bi today, while also looking back and celebrating the past. The book shines a light on the never-ending process of coming out, what it s like to date as a queer woman, how physical nightlife spaces have evolved into online communities and the reasons why mental health issues have disproportionately impacted LGBTQ+ people.As someone immersed in the queer culture of women, Daisy brings both the personal perspective and a journalistic one to this changing landscape. Through interviews and lived experience, a cohesive image emerges: one which shows that being lesbian, bi, or anything in between, isn t necessarily always tied to gender, sexual practice or even romantic attraction. With verve, humour and razor-sharp prose, Daisy paints a vital and insightful modern day portrait of what it means to be a queer woman in the 21st century.

Less a mystery unsolved than a secret well kept The mystery has haunted generations since the Second World War: Who betrayed Anne Frank and her family? And why? Now, thanks to radical new technology and the obsession of a retired FBI agent, this book offers an answer. Rosemary Sullivan unfolds the story in a gripping, moving narrative. Over thirty million people have read The Diary of a Young Girl, the journal teenaged Anne Frank kept while living in an attic with her family and four other people in Amsterdam during World War II, until the Nazis arrested them and sent them to a concentration camp. But despite the many works - journalism, books, plays and novels - devoted to Anne s story, none has ever conclusively explained how these eight people managed to live in hiding undetected for over two years - and who or what finally brought the Nazis to their door. With painstaking care, retired FBI agent Vincent Pankoke and a team of indefatigable investigators pored over tens of thousands of pages of documents - some never before seen - and interviewed scores of descendants of people familiar with the Franks. Utilising methods developed by the FBI, the Cold Case Team painstakingly pieced together the months leading to the infamous arrest - and came to a shocking conclusion. The Betrayal of Anne Frank: A Cold Case Investigation is the riveting story of their mission. Rosemary Sullivan introduces us to the investigators, explains the behaviour of both the captives and their captors and profiles a group of suspects. All the while, she vividly brings to life wartime Amsterdam: a place where no matter how wealthy, educated, or careful you were, you never knew whom you could trust.

LaRynn has the money, but in order to access her trust, she has to be married. Deacon has the construction expertise, but lacks the funds. A deal is struck: Marry for however long it takes to fix up the property, collect a profit, and cut ties. Thrust into a home without walls, LaRynn and Deacon quickly learn that it s easy to hide behind emotional ones, even in a marriage. But with all the exposure and pitfalls that come with living with the opposite sex (and none of the perks, much to their growing mutual frustration) they ll also have to learn what it means to truly cooperate as a team. .......................Praise for Tarah DeWitt: It s everything I look for in a romance, deftly blending heart, humour, and the perfect amount of angst AMY LEA Pure romance catnip and a master class in yearning.

IN THE RHODODENDRONS is vital consolation, amidst the amidst. It s a triumph, an instant classic. Christle has become one of our art s most urgent living practitioners Kaveh Akbar, author of Martyr!When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.When Heather Christle realises that she, her mother, and Virginia Woolf share a traumatic history, she begins to rewrite and intertwine each of their stories, in search of a more hopeful narrative and a future she can live with.On a recent visit to London s Kew Gardens, Christle s mother revealed details of a painful story from her past that took place there, under circumstances that strangely paralleled Heather s own sexual assault during a visit to London as a teenager.Her private, British mother s revelation - a rare burst of vulnerability in their strained relationship - propels Christle down a deep and destabilising rabbit hole of investigation, as she both reads and wanders the streets of her mother s past, peeling back the layers of family mythologies, England s sanctioned historical narratives, and her own buried memories. Over the course of several trips to London, with and without her mother, she visits her family s birthday hill in Kew Gardens, the now-public homes of the Bloomsbury set, the archives of the British Library, and the backyard garden where Woolf wrote her final sentence. All the while, she finds that Woolf and her writings not only constantly seem to connect and overlap with her mother s story, but also that the author becomes a kind of vital intermediary: a sometimes confidante, sometimes mentor, sometimes distancing lens through which Christle can safely observe her mother and their experiences.Wide-ranging and prismatic, the fruit of an insatiably curious, delightfully brilliant mind, In the Rhododendrons is part memoir, part biography of Virginia Woolf, part reckoning with the things we cannot change and the ways we can completely transform, if we dare. This utterly original book will stir readers into new ways of seeing their own lives.

Jackson, this is Tomas. He s living with me for a little while. It s a hot summer, and life s going all right for Jackson and his family on the Mish. It s almost Christmas, school s out, and he s hanging with his mates, teasing the visiting tourists, avoiding the racist boys in town. Just like every year, Jackson s Aunty and annoying little cousins visit from the city - but this time a mysterious boy with a troubled past comes with them... As their friendship evolves, Jackson must confront the changing shapes of his relationships with his friends, family and community. And he must face his darkest secret - a secret he thought he d locked away for good. Compelling, honest and beautifully written, The Boy from the Mish is about first love, identity, and the superpower of self-belief. The Boy from the Mish is an extraordinary debut novel, and I loved this tender, beautiful story with all my heart. Jackson and Tomas stole my heart, and I ll be thinking about them for a long time. NINA KENWOOD A lightning bolt to the soul. The Boy from the Mish announces a bold, necessary new talent. WILL KOSTAKIS How I wish I had this big-hearted book when I was a teenager. It would ve changed my life. Let it change yours. BENJAMIN LAW It is, honestly, a book I ve been searching for over my whole career as an editor, as well as all my years as a (queer) reader. I m not ashamed to say that it made me cry (repeatedly) and awed me with the power of its storytelling. DAVID LEVITHAN, Scholastic US Editorial Director A deftly woven tale that is both a raw, unflinching look at the experience of growing up gay and Aboriginal, and a sweet, truly endearing love story you just can t turn away from. This is Own Voices storytelling at its best. HOLDEN SHEPPARD Honest. Funny. Beautiful. This book is all the things. GABBIE STROUD What an amazing work Gary Lonesborough has launched into the world. It s bound to launch him into the stratosphere. This story will lighten and enrich the life of many. JARED THOMAS

This fresh and engaging, illustrated history of art explains the fundamentals every art lover needs while presenting the development of different schools and styles as one continuous, astonishing timelineâ ” from Giotto to Leonardo, Frida to Banksy. When she became interested in painting, the author would visit museums and wonder about all the information she was missing. How did one style develop after another? What meanings were hidden in these works? What were these artistsâ ™ lives like? How did their works survive for so many years? She longed for the kind of essential knowledge that would enable her to decode a painting loaded with references. The result of her curiosity is a highly accessible and vividly illustrated book that brings together the fundamentals of eight centuries of art. It covers the basics about such topics as how museums are structured, how painters use proportion and perspective, the anatomy of a painting. Jouneaux offers surprising comparisons between artists such as Sandro Botticelli and Mary Cassatt, Claude Monet and Joan Mitchell, Delacroix and Rubens. Terms such as Baroque, Ukiyo-e, Graffiti, Cubism, Degenerate Art, and De Stijl are explored and explained. Non-western traditions are given much greater prominence than in other art history books â “ Chinese, Indian, Australian Aboriginal, and African Art are all included in the timeline. Numerous women artists who were overlooked during the authorâ ™s own education are restored to the canon. Accompanying the unpretentious but authoritative texts are hundreds of illustrations, reproductions, timelines and sidebars.
