One Summer by bestselling author, David Baldacci, is a tender and absorbing portrait of a family rebuilding itself after being torn apart by grief.

A classic story of identity, love and Australias modern heritage. Cello States comes from the town of Corduroy and is definitely from the wrong side of the tracks. He escapes his life of drugs and gangs in the world of books, language and words, but when his father, a small time drug dealer clashes with a rival gang, he is forced to leave home. This drives Cello on a crime spree that eventually takes him to Melbourne, where he meets and falls in love with Oya Seyesene, a girl far removed from his world of violence and poverty. Half Sri Lankan, beautiful Oya is a child of privilege who despite having everything in life yearns for something else. Encouraged by her parents to find herself, Oya starts working at the Foundry, an avant-garde theatre where Cello has been working for the past few years. But it is a relationship fraught with tension and in danger of being overshadowed by the secret that Cello was part of a terrible crime that involved her family.

Inspired by the true story of mountaineer George Mallory, Paths of Glory bring to life one of history’s enduringly enigmatic figures in a stunning novel from bestselling author Jeffrey Archer.

Encapsulated in a moving story of ambition, success, family and loss, is a series of anecdotes that talk about the purpose and fulfillment at work and life as a whole.

“I don’t want you to dwell on these unconscionable acts of violence. I want you to embrace the luxurious beauty that you are. The amazing grace of your darkness.”

There is a common thread, a universality that holds us all together. Like the roots of trees clinging together beneath the soil. On the surface we see trees that seem separate, growing in a variety of trajectories reaching for the warm rays of the sun. But under the surface roots become intertwined, woven together in an indestructible web. A web that holds strong when typhoons and tsunamis hit the surface. A root bond, that keeps us believing in the human spirit. The vibrance of the soul and the strength of our being.

Shall We Tell the President is an enthralling, fast-paced thriller from the bestselling author of Jeffrey Archer.
