Over My Tracks
by E. Crawford & C. Walsh
“This book was a big hit with our group. We all really enjoyed it. We thought it a very important book, detailing as it did the lives and times of Aborigines from the late 1920s onwards.”

Balzac & The little Chinese Seamstress
by D. Sijie
“Deceptively simple and very picturesque. Everyone in the group loved it. It was like reading a painting, very descriptive. A wonderful book.”
