Emily Maguire
Allen & Unwin
9781760878337 | $32.99 | | PB | Fiction
A stunning, simply told story of great compassion and insight,
from the author of the Stella Prize-shortlisted An Isolated
Incident
Nic is a forty-five-year-old trivia buff, amateur nail artist and
fairy godmother to the neighbourhood's stray cats. She's also
the owner of a decade's worth of daily newspapers, enough
clothes and shoes to fill Big W three times over, along with crates
of Happy Meal toys and towers of Vegemite jars, take-away
containers and cat food tins.
Nic's closest relationship is with her niece Lena. One Sunday,
when Nic fails to turn up to lunch, Lena arrives at the house she
hasn't visited in years to find Nic unconscious under an avalanche
of stuff. Devastated that her beloved aunt has been living in such
squalor all this time, Lena gets to work cleaning things up while
Nic is in hospital.
This heroic effort is not appreciated by the plastered up, crutch-
wielding Nic. She returns to an empty, alien place unrecognisable
as her home and the unbearable pity of her family who have
no idea what they've destroyed. How can she live in this place
without safety and peace? And how can she ever forgive the
niece who has betrayed her?
Emily Maguire is the author of six novels, including the Stella
Prize and Miles Franklin Award shortlisted An Isolated Incident.
She lives in Sydney.

Sharon Stone
Allen & Unwin
9781760879969 | $29.99 | | PB | Memoir
Sharon Stone tells her own story: a journey of healing, love and
purpose
She was one of the most renowned actresses in the world—until
a massive stroke cost her not only her health, but her career,
family, fortune and global fame. In The Beauty of Living Twice,
Sharon Stone chronicles her efforts to rebuild her life, and the
slow road back to wholeness and health. In an industry that
doesn't accept failure, in a world where too many voices are
silenced, Stone found the power to return, the courage to speak
up, and the will to make a difference in the lives of women and
children around the globe.
Over the course of these intimate pages, as candid as a personal
conversation, Stone talks about her pivotal roles, her life-
changing friendships, her worst disappointments and her greatest
accomplishments. She reveals how she went from a childhood
of trauma and violence to a business that in many ways echoed
those same assaults, under cover of money and glamour. She
describes the strength and meaning she found in her children and
in her humanitarian efforts. And ultimately, she shares how she
fought her way back to find not only her truth, but her family's
reconciliation and love.
Sharon Stone is an actress, human rights activist, artist and
writer. She lives in Los Angeles.LEAVE ME ALONE
A memoir of me, myself and Trish
Christian Hull
Allen & Unwin
9781760876531 | $29.99 | | PB | Humour
The hilarious, no-filter memoir from beloved comedian and
social media star Christian Hull
Christian Hull is a hardcore introvert. He loves being a little
bit famous for his videos, but at the end of the day, he's a lone
wolf—one who's more interested in Caramilk on the couch than
cocktails in the club. He's a strong believer in Netflix and chilling
at home, alone; will smokebomb from social events at the first
opportunity, and is in a committed relationship with his indoor
plants.
Leave Me Alone is the no-holds-barred account of the things
Christian loves and the things he absolutely hates (there are a
few of those). From growing up with triplet brothers to building a
career in comedy, and from his fear of moths to some of his more
daring Grindr sexcapades, Christian tells his behind-the-scenes
story with his signature, completely unapologetic honesty.
He invites you into his personal creative universe, where things
like wearing a wig to make random videos and screaming swear
words at resin pendants somehow turn out to be good decisions.
In classic Christian form, you'd better believe this memoir doesn't
leave much to the imagination. It's a story of breaking the mould
and embracing exactly who you are, even if that means telling
people to leave you the f**k alone.
Christian Hull is a comedian, writer, podcaster and prolific
content creator. His podcast, Complete Drivel, is a mainstay
in the iTunes Top 50, and he has completed three sold-out
national comedy tours. He lives in Brisbane.MY INNER SKY
Mari Andrew
Allen & Unwin
9781760879426 | $29.99 | | HB | Memoir
A collection of essays and illustrations, divided into phases of
the sky—twilight, golden hour, night, and dawn—that serves as a
loyal companion for life's curveballs
A whole, beautiful life is only made possible by the wide spectrum
of feelings that exist between joy and sorrow. In this insightful
and warm book, writer and illustrator Mari Andrew explores
all the emotions that make up a life, in the process offering
insights about trauma and healing, the meaning of home and
the challenges of loneliness, finding love in the most unexpected
of places—from birds nesting on a sculpture to a ride on the
subway—and a resounding case for why sometimes you have to
put yourself in the path of magic.
My Inner Sky empowers us to transform everything that's
happened to us into something meaningful, reassurance that
even in our darkest times, there's light and beauty to be found.
Mari Andrew is the New York Times bestselling author of Am I

Fenella Souter
Allen & Unwin
9781760878443 | $29.99 | | PB | Memoir
Funny true stories about the everyday dramas that can make
or break friendships, cooking, housekeeping and the domestic
chaos that always threatens to get the upper hand, written in
the tradition of Nora Ephron.
'My mother wasn't much of a housekeeper. She wasn't much
of a cook either, although she tried. She longed to live a more
unconventional life. Admirably high-minded, but it meant I never
learnt to fold a towel.'
In these wise and funny stories, award-winning feature writer
Fenella Souter explores the hits and misses of domestic life—from
the art of running a house like a grown-up, to cooking well, to
managing a batch of home-made dilemmas and disasters. House
guests who won't leave, tradies who don't actually know best,
the fine tradition of the wrong Christmas present, and the risks
of cleaning a friend's house, as well as the cat who left home and
the strange case of the stolen magnolia.
She touches on friendship, loyalty, marriage, how to stay alive
with the dead, overpacking, indecision, loss and finding joy
without leaving home.
With their distinctive wit, her stories will have you smiling with
recognition at the everyday dramas and adventures that can
make or break friendships, turn a house into a home, or let chaos
get the upper hand.
Fenella Souter is an award-winning feature writer whose work
has appeared in magazines and newspapers over many years.
