HIGH SEASONNacho Figueras

with Jessica Whitman

ARENA9781760292324 | $29.99 | | pb | FICTION

In the irresistible tradition of Jilly Cooper, a novel set in the glamorous, treacherous world of high-stakes polo brimming with scandal and seduction

Georgia Fellowes has never had any desire to be a jetsetter—being a plain old rural vet is fine for her. But after a distress call from her best friend, she finds herself neck deep in the world of polo's most elite international players, complete with designer dresses, fine champagne and some of the most gorgeous thoroughbreds she's ever seen. Some of the most gorgeous men too. Alejandro Del Campo needs his team to win the season's biggest polo tournament or else he's not sure how much longer they can be competitive. What he doesn't need is some blow-in vet telling him how to run his business. But as the crucial championship match looms it becomes clear that Alejandro wants to win Georgia just as much as the tournament trophy. But first he needs to convince her she can belong in his world…

Ignacio 'Nacho' Figueras is an Argentine polo player who has been featured as a face of Ralph Lauren and has appeared on numerous television shows.

A story of scandal, love and the search for grace and dignity

It's a new school year, and Terry Pritchard, deputy principal at Brindle Public School, is glad to be back. By the end of the term, however, Terry finds himself suspended from teaching duties and forced into an early retirement which is as shocking to the school community as it is devastating to him. Nina Foreman jumps at the chance of taking over Terry's class. Still reeling from her recent separation and complications at her previous school, she is taken aback to find herself confronted by a group of disruptive students who hold her responsible for the abrupt departure of their much loved teacher. Set in a small coastal community, The Teacher's Secret is a story of gossip and dislocation and the search for dignity in the midst of dishonour and humiliation.

OUR YOUNG MANEdmund White

BLOOMSBURY9781408858943 | $27.99 | | pb | FICTION

A provocative, beguiling and witty exploration of the power of beauty

Our Young Man follows the life of a gorgeous Frenchman, Guy, as he climbs to the top of the modelling profession in New York City's fashion world, becoming the darling of Fire Island's gay community. Never seeming to age; at thirty-five he is still enjoying lavish gifts from older men who believe he's twenty-three—though their attentions always come at a price. Ambivalently, Guy lets them believe, driven especially by the memory of growing up poor, until he finds he needs the lie to secure not only wealth, but love itself. Surveying the full spectrum of gay amorous life through the disco era and into the age of AIDS, Edmund White explores the power of physical beauty—to fascinate, to enslave, and to deceive—with sparkling wit and pathos.

Edmund White is the author of many critically acclaimed books, the most recent being The Flaneur. He lives in New York.

NOT RIGHT IN THE HEADHow one family facing Alzheimer's

discovered that laughter may have just been the best medicine

Michelle Wyatt

ALLEN & UNWIN9781760290566 | $29.99 | | pb | MEMOIR

A light-hearted memoir of getting to grips with dementia

Michelle Wyatt's mum always joked with the family that if she ever developed Alzheimer's like her own mother-Michelle's grandmother-they should put her in a home and throw away the key. When she did ultimately succumb to the disease, the choice to put her in a nursing home became the only option. During the next six years, Michelle, a well-known television producer, visited her mum often while her dad kept a daily vigil in the nursing home. What Michelle and her family discovered throughout these challenging times was that allowing themselves to see the funny side of the weird and wonderful things they witnessed while visiting their mum made a difficult journey just that little bit easier. This memoir is a light-hearted yet moving account of Michelle's experience with her mum's dementia-giving us an insight in how to cope compassionately, effectively and lastingly with a disease that affects almost 400,000 people in Australia alone.

ELEPHANT DAWN The inspirational story of thirteen years living

with elephants in the African wilderness

Sharon Pincott

ALLEN & UNWIN9781760290337 | $32.99 | | pb | BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIOGRAPHY

'A woman on a passionate mission. Her astonishing adventure. Political intrigue.

A book to take readers into another world.' Caroline Jones AO, Australian Story

In 2001, Sharon Pincott traded her privileged life as a high-flying corporate executive to start a new life with the Presidential Elephants of Zimbabwe. She was unpaid, untrained, self-funded and arrived with the starry-eyed idealism of most foreigners during their early encounters with Africa. For thirteen years—the worst in Zimbabwe's volatile history—this intrepid Australian woman lived in the Hwange bush forming a remarkable and life-changing relationship with these elephants. Powerfully moving, sometimes disturbing and often very funny, Elephant Dawn is a celebration of love, courage and honour amongst our greatest land mammals. With resilience beyond measure, Sharon earns the supreme right to call them family.

Sharon Pincott is the subject of an internationally successful documentary and her work has been profiled in National Geographic.

PORCELAINMoby

FABER9780571321483 | $29.99 | | pb | BIOGRAPHY/AUTOBIOGRAPHY

From the iconic musician, a piercingly tender, funny, and harrowing account of the path from

poverty and alienation to a life of beauty, squalor and unlikely success

There were many reasons Moby was never going to make it as a DJ and musician in the hedonistic New York club scene of the late 80s and early 90s. Dance music was a largely underground phenomenon popular among working-class African Americans and Latinos. And Moby was a poor, skinny white kid from Connecticut, a devout Christian, a vegan, and a teetotaller. Contemplating the end of things, in his career and life, he put that emotion into the album that would be the beginning of an astonishing new life, the multimillion-selling Play. Porcelain is about making it, losing it, loving it, and hating it. It's about finding your people, and your place, and then, creating a masterpiece. Push play.

Moby is a singer-songwriter, musician, DJ and photographer.
