A recipe for life should be a simple thing: love and happiness, family, friends and a little food. But life is rarely straightforward... Alice wants to make the most of life - after all, she knows how fragile it can be - and knows she never feels more alive than when she's cooking.
Babetta has spent a lifetime tending the garden of her tiny house on the Italian coast, growing food to feed a family now grown and gone.
One summer these two women are brought together in a crumbling Mediterranean villa, with the shared language of food and the soil they grow it from. There, under the heat of the Italian sun, or the shade of the pomegranate tree, secrets will be spoken, fears and hopes shared. But life's lessons are not learnt easily. Recipe For Life is a novel about discovering how life never stops surprising us, and about how, with a little love and courage, its flavours can be richer than we ever

Witty, warm and poignant, Freeing Grace tells the story of a young couple: David, the vicar of an inner-city London parish, and Leila, his Nigerian-born wife.
Not able to have children of their own, they're desperate for a family, and when they finally hear they' ve just been approved to adopt a young baby, Grace, they are over the moon. Everything is arranged, the court date is set and David and Leila are giddy with delight. There's just one problem: Grace's birth family - the enigmatic, charismatic Harrisons - have changed their minds and decided they won't give up Grace without a fight.
Enlisting the help of their friend, the feckless, charming New Zealander, Jake Kelly - who's half in love with all of the Harrisons one way or another - they plan to reclaim their baby. And that's an emotional rollercoaster, for all concerned. They only want what's best for Grace - but who can say exactly what that is?

This laugh-out-loud debut novel is set in Tasmania. Julian Corkle's got small-screenability. His mother tells him he'll be a star one day. 'Twinkle, twinkle,' she says, giving his hair a ruffle.
Not everyone shares Julian's dreams of stardom. Television is too much like hairdressing for his father's tastes. A Tasmanian man wants a son for sporting purposes. 'Boys don't like dolls,' he tells Julian, 'They like Dinky Toys.' Not this boy, thinks Julian, who knows better than to tell the truth. Besides, the family already has a sporting hero, Julian's sister Carmel aka 'The Locomotive'. Julian likes his sister, but knows better than to tangle with her bowling arm. It's the same one she uses for punching.
Julian Corkle is a Filthy Liar will have the reader laughing out loud on the back of a bus as it follows Julian's bumpy journey through adolescence, fibbing his way through school and a series of dead-end jobs, to find his
