GRIEF ON THE RUN
Julie Zarifeh
A&U New Zealand
9781988547367 | $36.99 | | Psychology |
What happens when your life is rocked by unimaginable loss and
grief? How do you survive and how do you keep going?
Julie Zarifeh shares the tragic story of losing her 27-year-old son,
Sam, in a whitewater rafting accident just sixteen days after her
60-year-old husband, Paul, died of pancreatic cancer.
She describes how she and her surviving son and daughter dealt
with this double whammy and how she embraced the notion of
'active grieving'. This included a 450-kilometre cycle tour around
Sri Lanka, raising money to give disadvantaged Kiwi children
new bikes; trekking the 800-kilometre Camino de Santiago; and
running the New York marathon on behalf of the Mental Health
Foundation.
Julie's account of learning to live with grief, plus her experience
as a clinical psychologist, make this an inspirational and
ultimately uplifting read.
Julie Zarifeh previously worked across a variety of community
and district health board mental health teams and then,
following the Christchurch earthquakes, became part of a
multi-disciplinary team investigating the psychological factors
contributing to 'broken-heart syndrome'. She lives in New
Zealand.

KLARA AND THE SUN
Kazuo Ishiguro
Faber
9780571364886 | $36.99 | | PB | Fiction
The first novel by Kazuo Ishiguro since he was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Literature 2017
Klara and the Sun tells the story of Klara, an Artificial Friend with
outstanding observational qualities, who, from her place in the
store, watches carefully the behaviour of those who come in to
browse, and of those who pass on the street outside. She remains
hopeful that a customer will soon choose her.
This is a thrilling feat of world-building, a novel of exquisite
tenderness and impeccable restraint that offers a look at our
changing world through the eyes of an unforgettable narrator,
and one that explores the fundamental question: what does it
mean to love? Klara and the Sun is a magnificent achievement,
and an international literary event.
Kazuo Ishiguro is the bestselling and Booker Prize-winning
author of Never Let Me Go and The Remains of the Day. Born in
Japan, he lives in Britain.

A novel of searing emotional truth, told with the relentless pull
of a thriller, from the award-winning creator of Offspring
Paula is a dedicated suburban GP who is devastated by the
murder of a friend and her children by their estranged husband
and father. Stacey and the children had been staying with her
after fleeing his control, and Paula is haunted by the thought that
she couldn't protect them when they most needed it. How had
she missed the warning signs? How had she failed to keep them
safe?
Not long after, a patient with suspicious injuries brings her
anxious young son into Paula's surgery. The woman admits that
her husband hurts her, but she's terrified to leave for fear of
escalating the violence, and defeated by the consistent failures of
the law to keep them safe.
Can Paula go against everything she believes to make sure one
woman is safe, one child? She isn't motivated by revenge. She's
desperately trying to prevent a tragedy . . .
A riveting, provocative novel about women's fury, traumatic grief,
new love, deep friendship, and the preciousness of life, The Family
Doctor asks the question: Should you cling to faith in a flawed
system, or take control the only way you can? Can a good person
justify taking a life to save a life?

emotion. And then something happens to her mum and suddenly
Amelia's got too many feelings and the only thing that makes any
sense to her is running away.
It takes the intervention of her two fathers and some hilariously
wrong encounters with other broken people in a struggling
Tasmanian BDSM club to help her accept the truth she has been
hiding from. And in a final, cataclysmic scene, we learn along with
Amelia that you need to feel another person's weight before you
can feel your own.
Deadpan, wise and heartbreakingly funny, New Animal is a
stunning debut.
