Dying in the first person, Nike Sulway

This is a powerful and extraordinarily beautiful story of family, love and sacrifice. Sulway has created a world we enter slowly, uncovering the past and its hurts in small steps. It draws the reader into a place of mystery and wonder as Samuel is brought face to face with an emissary, Ana, who brings news of his long-estranged twin brother.

We need to talk about depression

We need to talk about mental health. I have just read Rosie Waterland’s book, The anti-cool girl, which captures the half-life of a person with mental illness with such precision. Amidst the laugh out loud moments of life as a ‘houso’ in North Ryde, the pressing, the closing in, the self-sabotage resonates. It needs to be read, widely.
