Emma Grey is a writer, novelist and photographer. Her novel the Last Love Note was a global bestseller. Her new novel is Pictures of You.
At sixteen years old Evie Hudson feels too young to be married, let alone a widow. And that’s the problem, Evie’s not sixteen but the accident that killed her husband Oliver also stole her memory.
Now she believes she’s a teenager. Thrown back to a time when she felt safe.
But safe from what?
Evie’s lost her memory, which throws up more than a few problems. The last thing she remembers is her parents cautioning her against getting into cars with strangers and talking to people on the internet. Now she somehow has to figure out Uber?!
A week after awakening in a hospital a stranger to herself, Evie is freaking out that none of her so-called family seem to like her and her real parents haven’t tried to contact her.
Evie flees her husband’s funeral and jumps straight into Uber waiting outside.
Only problem, that’s no Uber and this guy seems to know a lot about Evie’s past.
Pictures of You is a pacy and thought provoking thriller that races the reader to discover how Evie wound up so isolated in her own life.
I’m going to give you the spoiler free review here but that means I’m only really touching on the opening chapters of the novel.
Suffice to say though that when you buy your ticket you can expect an edgy mix of drama, social commentary and a mystery to solve just for good measure.
The narrative alternates between Evie’s contemporary battle to remember who she is and flashes back to her life at sixteen. The life she thinks she has returned to.
We meet an idealistic and driven young woman who knows exactly where she’s going in life. The contrast couldn’t be more stark between adolescent Evie and the isolated, desperate woman struggling to understand what’s happening to her.
Pictures of You asks important questions about love and how far it’s meant to go whilst still remaining healthy. Evie believes in a Romantic vision of love but the book challenges the idea that our romantic notions should be trusted.
Eagle eyed listeners might have noticed that this is one of a few novels we’ve discussed this year that involve a character with memory loss. This device thrusts the reader into the protagonist's shoes as the act of reading mirrors the slow unraveling of a story that could very well mean life or death.
Evie’s story hits the beats of hope and loss in satisfying ways that keep us going till the bitter end. Will we like the Evie who emerges when her memory returns?
That’s the joy of storytelling. By taking the ride with her, whoever emerges by the end we will hopefully have greater understanding and compassion for her journey. -

Emily Maguire is the author of seven novels and has been shortlisted for the Stella, the Miles Franklin and many more awards.
In Emily Maguire’s new novel Rapture, the life of a young woman in ninth century Europe is fraught at best.
Under her father’s roof Agnes is indulged in her reading and stands out for her intelligence and wit. But this is no life for a girl, let alone a woman and Agnes must soon face the prospect that she will be married off.
Rejecting this fate Agnes implores her father’s friend to hide her. Obscuring her sex, Agnes enters a Benedictine monastery where she must forever be on guard against discovery.
The story of Agnes is based on the history or perhaps legend of Pope Joan/Ioannes Anglicus, an officially unofficial female Pope. The story has long fascinated and perturbed the sorts of people who gatekeep these sorts of male spaces and you can see how the possibility of a learned woman who rose to the top of the Catholic Church might ruffle a few feathers.
In Maguire’s hands Agnes’ story moves between the worldly and the divine.
At an early age Agnes is gored by a hog. This brutal action both convinces her she is not fit for marriage and also foreshadows the brief but also visceral encounters she will have with men in her future.
Agnes must negotiate a life wholly embodied; she is never able to forget her sex despite it going unnoticed by the myriad men around her. This life of the flesh convinces her to try and transcend it through her studies where she excels at academics beyond her male monkish peers.
Her excellence is taken for granted, because I guess they couldn’t possibly imagine a woman might be this clever, and Agnes rises through the clergy. Her talents put her on a course for Rome where she is destined to be seen as a paragon of learning.
It is perhaps because of her efforts to efface her womanhood that Agnes comes to be desired by so many around her. The tension and enjoyment of Rapture comes in the characterisation of Agnes’ struggle and the inner torment she suffers as she tries to find the place she has always craved in the world.
Maguire is a tremendous writer of character and through Agnes’ story we see both a history of submission challenged and a paralleling with women’s experience of success and the quest to live a public life today.
Rapture is far from the narratives of Australian life that have occupied earlier novels like An Isolated Incident and Love Objects. What the reader can expect though is the same concern with power structures and who gets to tell the story that occupies all her novels. -

Tigest Girma is an Ethiopian writer based in Melbourne. Her debut novel is Immortal Dark.
-----
Kidan Adane has been living a half life since the disappearance of her sister.
Ever since Kidan and her sister June were rescued as children they have lived in fear that they will be discovered by the dranaics, immortal creatures who live on the blood of humans. The dranaics power has been tempered somewhat by their bond to specific human bloodlines. Unfortunately Kidan’s family is one such bloodline.
Kidan has crossed lines to try and recover her sister and has all but given up when she is summoned by the Dean of Uxlay University. The University's long relationship with the dranaics is threatened by the ambition of one Susenyos Sagad. Susenyos is bonded to house Adane and now Kidan must return and take up her birthright, or risk an imbalance that threatens her whole world.
-----------
Immortal Drak is a fresh and compelling reinvention of vampire lore that dives deep on the parasitic relationship between the immortal bloodsuckers and the humans they prey on.
As Kidan returns to Uxlay University and enrolls in the courses that will allow her to come into her inheritance, we are taken on a history tour of the world of Immortal Dark. A world where vampires and humans are bound to each other. It limits the blood loss but ramps up the intimate tension to eleven.
Kidan presents as a loner, but she’s no Bella Swan or even Buffy Summers. For starters Immortal Dark’s mythos traces its origins to Africa and this feeds into the history and character of the families of Uxlay.
Kidan is also neither a clear slayer, nor consort of the sexy vampire/dranaic. Rather there is a lot of brooding and even more on and off screen violence.
The journey into the world of Uxlay University works hard to balance world building and driving narrative. We are privy to this strange outpost of humans and vampires through Kidan’s eyes and so it is appropriately strange. The novel doesn’t seem to want the reader to get too comfortable and so be prepared for blood and angst in equal measure.
Immortal Dark, Kidan and Uxlay defy any stereotype about supernatural schooling you might bring to your reading of the novel. There are obvious parallels to be drawn here with other franchises both magical and bitey, but that’s only going to thwart the reader. It’s not until you take Immortal dark on its own terms that the narrative of legacy, disenfranchisement and attraction can work their own magic on you.
I’ll confess, I think this is my first foray into the genre known as Romantasy (a portmanteau of Romance and Fantasy) and I was pleasantly surprised. The angst is heavy, but no heavier than I’m sure I was when I was an angsty, university aged person. The lore and the worldbuilding offer a hook that lets you discover and rediscover what you thought you knew about undead bloodsuckers. As for the narrative, it provides mystery and suspense in a pacy way that invites page turning.
Immortal Dark is a must for lovers of genre but should also be on the TBR of readers who like to challenge their preconceptions. You know what they say about vampires; into every generation a new take on the undead is born. Maybe Immortal Dark is the latest to take us by storm. -

Ann Liang is a New York Times bestselling author of YA novels This Time It’s Real, If You Could See the Sun, and I Hope This Doesn't Find You. Ann’s new novel is A Song to Drown Rivers.
------
In the fractured kingdom of the Yue, Xishi is regarded as a peerless beauty.
Her beauty is famous across her homeland and leads her to be sought out by the advisor to the king. The Yue have suffered terrible defeats at the hands of the Wu. This humiliation and the threat of ongoing war has lead the king to try a desperate plan. With Xishi’s help they will infiltrate the Wu king’s court, win his heart and overthrow his tyrannical rule.
Thrust deep into the heart of the enemy Wu kingdom, Xishi must use all her skills, not only to survive but to bring justice for her people.
------
A Song to Drown Rivers is based on the ancient Chinese story of Xishi, one of the four famed beauties of legend. From this source material Liang weaves a compelling tale that blends political intrigue with the all too human story of Xishi.
The conceit that Xishi is valued only for her beauty is tested against the development of the character as she prepares to enter the enemy Wu kingdom. Early on Xishi is shown to be jaded by her reputation as a beauty and longs to find more purpose than that found at the end of a man’s gaze.
Through her training and then in the court of the Wu King Fuchai Xishi is challenged to be bold and clever if she is to rise above the level of concubine.
The novel works hard to explore the inner world of Xishi and build on the legend that exists through history. We see Xishi questioning the rituals of the court and comparing them to the practicality of her village life. Xishi must confront that the tragedy of her family's life and loss through the war is mirrored in many other families, including those of the Wu.
Xishi is also embroiled in an impossible love story that can only be further complicated by her mission to seduce the king.
A Song to Drown Rivers works to complicate the romance and spectacle of so many epic tales of Kingdom’s clashing. Xishi is both an ethereal figure of legend and a kind of every person, struggling to find a morality that can encompass the brutal world she finds herself in.
Ann Liang’s writing takes in the source material and embellishes it both for our times and with a sense of pacy, engrossing storytelling. Xishi’s tale rockets forward even as we feel the encroaching moment where she must make a decision about who she is after so long living a lie.
This book is a must read, ready to appeal to lovers of epics, history, war and romance. It hits its beats in thoughtful and engaging ways and had me hanging on to the last page. -

Lauren Keegan is a psychologist and writer. Her debut novel is All the Bees in the Hollows.
All the Bees in the Hollows takes place in a remote beekeeping community in 16th century Lithuania. With the death of her husband, Maryte must take care of the family’s hollows. She is not alone, although her daughter Austeja has always fiercely resisted her family's vocation as beekeepers.
The death of their father is compounded when Austeja discovers the Hollow Watcher dead beneath an abandoned hollow. As the representative of the Duke he was not a beloved man but his sudden death, alongside the disappearance of the bees, does not bode well for the upcoming harvest.
Their little community is small and not used to outsiders and so suspicion turns inward and onto the families. Maryte and Austeja must learn to rely on each other, and they must trust to the bees. Because bees don’t sting good people.
—
All the Bees in the Hollows is a pleasing mix of genres and a fascinating exploration into a way of life that has been changed utterly by our modern world.
It was interesting to read this novel at the onset of our spring, as the bees gathered in my garden and everywhere I turned they were working to collect pollen. Our relationship to bees is so very fundamental to our entire ecosystem and is also one of the most precarious relationships we have with our natural world.
In the novel we are treated to the traditions of Hollows Beekeeping, where swarms are attracted to the hollows of trees and the families manage their development and are careful to harvest only the barest necessity to maintain their livelihoods.
The questions of production and how the profits of the bees are used emerges as a theme when Maryte and Austeja must confront the upcoming spring without their beloved husband and father. Maryte is proud of her skills as a beekeeper but worries at how she will be accepted by the community. There is also the question of the encroaching influence of the church that threatens the practices that have supported the community and their hives for generations.
All the Bees in the Hollows explores the impact of colonial forces in the form of religion and economics at the point when the communities ways are most tested. The sixteenth century was a turning point for beekeeping in Lithuania and so the novel takes advantage of the stakes in this history.
By focussing on the family and the wider biciulyste (the community of beekeeping families) we have both the satisfaction of a contained narrative and the ability to closely observe the psychology of each of the players. That there is a murder mystery in the mix adds an extra frisson driving the narrative forward.
Between the thematic reach and the character driven tension, All the Bees in the Hollows is a wonderfully entertaining read. Even if you don’t share my fascination with bees, you’ll undoubtedly find something to hook you in this tale. -

Lisa Kenway is an Australian writer and anaesthetist. Her debut novel, All You Took From Me, was longlisted for the 2020 Richell Prize
When Clare wakes in a bed in the hospital where she works as an anesthetist she has only questions.
When doctors inform her she was in a car accident, that it took the life of her beloved husband, she begins to realise how much she has lost. How did it come to this?
Clare can’t remember a thing about the accident. Why were they on the deserted road? Why was Ray wearing chainmail armour?
As Clare struggles to pull her life back together she is tormented by a towering figure, seemingly stalking her and leaving threatening warnings. The hospital is insisting Clare must see a counselor if she wants to return to work, but it's looking to Clare like she’ll need even more drastic measures if she wants to regain her memories before what she has lost comes back to take what is left.
All You Took From Me is a fascinating exploration into memory and identity. Clare embodies the unreliable narrator and the reader is invited along as she tries to discover if she can even trust herself.
The novel traverses Western Sydney and the Blue Mountains so you know I enjoyed seeing my local area represented. The relative and expanse and solitude of the Mountains is used to effect as the story unfolds and we learn what Clare and her husband had been up to in the days and weeks prior to their accident.
As we follow Clare in her confusion, the tension is ratcheted up by the appearance of her mysterious stalker. There is a certain inelegance to the threats that Clare is in no position to ignore. The rising tension increases the stakes to the point that Clare is willing to try some radical, even desperate means to regain her memory and control over her life. What follows is an innovative exploration of memory and how our subconscious feeds into our everyday.
Clare’s journey of self discovery is suitably fraught and makes for an entertaining look into the depths contained within our seemingly everyday lives.
All You Took From Me is an effective thriller and a must read for lovers of Sydney and surrounds. - Laat meer zien
