New and Interesting

The Bone People by Keri Hulme, read by Ruby Solly [BorrowBox]

Available in audio for the first time, with narration and original taonga pūoro music by Ruby Solly, this powerful and mesmerising book tracks the complicated relationships between three outcasts: Kerewin, an artist estranged from her family and art; a mute boy called Simon, who tries to steal from her; and his tender but brutal foster father Joe.

 

Perfume and Pain by Anna Dorn, read by Natalie Naudua [Libby / OverDrive]

Clever, funny, sexy, modern, and really quite romantic. I'm keen now to read more by the brilliantly-named Anna Dorn.

"I want to smell like a Parisian It girl and sequoia trees at dusk, like Kate Moss in the '90s and a Malibu cloud."
