It’s Book Buzz time! πŸ“š

This week we feature β€˜The Water Takes', debut novel by Melbourne-based writer, @sarahtakesphotos.

πŸ“– An unimaginable apocalypse. A scared young girl. A stubborn old woman. Neither will survive without the other.

Pam is in her mid-seventies, widowed and hiding from the world behind a caustic sense of humour. Her health is declining, and she’s afraid of dying alone, but her most pressing concern is complaining to the council about her waterlogged garden. When Pam’s ten-year-old neighbour, Charlotte, is foisted upon her, a tentative friendship begins to unfurl, cracking open Pam’s hard exterior.

What do you do when the world starts drowning? β€˜The Water Takes’ is haunting, terrifying and still somehow hopeful. Seventy-something Pam is one of the most vivid characters I’ve ever encountered - she made me laugh and roar and weep. I am in awe of Sarah Walker and this book. - Kate Mildenhall, Author

This months staff pick comes from Elijah. Here's what Elijah had to say on Love and Virtue by @dianareid_ :

Love and Virtue follows two university students as they navigate the complexities of campus life, adult friendships and sexual politics within university residential colleges. Reid critiques institutional sexism through stunning prose and dialogue, exploring questions around consent, betrayal and power. An extremely thought-provoking and important book!
