Summer is a great time to enjoy a good book!

Glenelg Libraries have again put together a list of 10 great stories by Australian authors covering a range of genres, to get you through the summer with plenty of thrills and entertainment.  

There's new rural crime by Garry Disher and Margaret Hickey, and a brand new thriller series based on the highly successful TV drama starring Rebecca Gibney as forensic psychiatrist Dr Jane Halifax, written by Roger Simpson. From international bestselling author of  The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart, Holly Ringland, comes a haunting and magical new novel, set in Tasmania, Copenhagen, and the Faroe Islands; or follow Gail Jones to Greece circa 1917 – and mix with authors and painters living amid the chaos and turmoil of World War. There’s new Aussie yarns by Jim Haynes, and you can travel the Amazon world acclaimed travel and nature writer Antony Ham. Award-winning author Inga Simpson writes exquisitely about a national sport you will never view the same way again, and lastly, there’s an uplifting and heart-warming novel about a family reunited, second chances and the power of forgiveness, from the critically acclaimed author of  The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman, Julietta Henderson.
