BOOK REVIEWS
 Anna Couani reviews Haifa Fragments in Rochford Street ReviewThis book is as much about a woman seeking self-determination and agency as it is about trying to reconcile and overcome the cultural and political differences in the country. Bronwyn Lacken from King's College, London reviews Bite Your Tongue Rendle-Short has created an engaging, unsettling and at times darkly funny account of her childhood that will be of interest to those studying literary representations of mother- daughter relationships. Sue Gould reviewing for The Advertiser gives The Floating Garden four stars! The book teems with charlatans, eccentrics and those doing it tough in a time of hardship and prejudice. Yet Ashmere weaves a sense of hope and redemption as her characters seek to rediscover their true selves.

Out Now
 In the cold winter of 1875, two rebellious spirits travel from the pale sunlight of England to the raw heat of Australia....  Beautifully written by First Nations women on Gurindji country where the fight for equal wages began. This book...  I am seen by many as a danger. As having failed to understand the new rules, the new paradigm of successful motherhood.
 NEW EDITION
The women in this book may be among the last to have babies without the medical stamp of approval.
