By Dylin Hardcastle
Dylin Hardcastle’s charged third novel follows two Sapphic young women as they navigate the pyretic 1970s in Australia. On utterly different paths, one towards an openly queer life, the other away from one, these two women run concentric circles around each other, at times only spitting distance apart. This novel is full to the brim with heart and intention, spanning over three decades of queer passion, mentorship, and culture. Hardcastle doesn’t shy away from stretching the form of the novel, finding, losing, and remaking it in moments of striking imagery. - Leona
Anyone who knows me at all will not be shocked by me announcing that I cried while reading this book.
This is the kind of writing that is so overwhelming beautiful while being a kick to the stomach that makes poetry so incredible, weaving the state of rivers to the state of the country. Framing indigenous rights and the country that we could have against archival footage of the British Invasion, Elfie (she made me cry so we’re on a first name basis) takes the opportunity to rewrite history, discover starlight, and made me wonder what could have been while staring at the footnotes. -Lexie

A very shy cat, who has learned to be frightened of everything, lives all day and all night in a cupboard under the stairs. Then a bold new cat arrives. What will happen now? Will he just scare her out of her wits?
Here is the story of timid Arabella and vigorous George who persists in his plan to make friends and coax the shy one out into the open.
This rhyming, engaging tale tells of the power of kindness to cancel the terrors of the past. There is fear, overcome by gentleness and understanding. Underlying the charming story is the reality of a traumatised creature gradually learning to conquer the shadows of yesterday, and to face the future with courage and joy.
