Day 21: Win Long Island Compromise
https://goodreadingmagazine.com.au/competitions/win-long-isl...
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Fleishman Is in Trouble, comes a darkly exhilarating novel about an American family and its inheritance –
the safety and wealth that they fought for, and the precarity of their survival that is their legacy.
In 1980, a wealthy businessman named Carl Fletcher is kidnapped from his driveway in the nicest part of the nicest part of Long Island. He is
brutalised, held for ransom and then returned to his family. Miraculously, Carl, his wife and his three kids are left to move on with their lives, and
resume their prized places in the ongoing saga of the American dream.
But nearly forty years later, when Carl’s mother dies, the trauma that has been bubbling beneath the Fletchers’ lives all this time surfaces at last.
It becomes apparent that Carl has been quietly pursuing closure to the kidnapping for all these years, and his wife and children must face that the
money that they believed bought them safety was actually never capable of doing any such thing.
Long Island Compromise spans generations, winding through decades of history all the way through to the wild present, dealing along the way with all
the mainstays of American Jewish life and the timeless questions about wealth, trauma, and the American soul.

Day 22 - The Girl With The Violin by Shelley Davidow.
https://goodreadingmagazine.snapforms.com.au/form/22-july-th...
A powerful love story in which one woman’s quest for identity and healing also becomes the single way she can honour her grandparents, whose lives
were irreversibly shattered by the Holocaust. Perfect for readers of Anna Funder and Megan Rogers.
It’s 1989 and for a young Jewish-Australian violinist, a scholarship to Berlin is the chance of a lifetime. Germany is on the verge of change as the
wall is torn down, and Susanna is swept along by the tumultuous event. Under the careful guidance of Stefan Heinemeyer, her renowned violin teacher
and the grandson of a Nazi, she begins a composition in memory of her grandmother, Mirla, who died in the Buchenwald concentration camp during the
Second World War, and Susanna is inspired to retrace Mirla’s final footsteps.
It’s a journey that reconnects Susanna to her heritage and propels her musical gift to extraordinary heights. Yet as a forbidden yearning for Stefan
begins to unfurl, Susanna’s life is forever changed, and the repercussions will echo through decades and across continents.
In a world where history, society and inherited traumas threaten to silence Susanna and prevent her from ever becoming her true self, can she find the
courage to reclaim her power as a woman, a musician, and a composer, and in so doing, lay her haunted past to rest?
To enter, tell us where Susanna wins a violin scholarship to? ANSWER: Berlin.

Day 23: Beyond Summerland by Jenny Lecout.
A riveting story of redemption and retribution in a unique wartime setting by the author of the New York Timesbestseller, The Girl from the Channel
Islands.
Jersey 1945. In the immediate aftermath of Liberation from the Nazis, Jean Parris and her family wait anxiously for news of her deported father.
But now a different kind of war is unleashed – a war amongst the islanders themselves. And as Jean, now a young woman, begins to question everything,
she soon discovers not only the truth about her family, but the full implication of her own deceptions.
Beyond Summerland is a page-turning story of ordinary people in extraordinary times, and a tale of long-buried family secrets. It explores suspicion
and prejudice, female friendship, and the fictions we cling to when we cannot afford to let them go; it is also a story of survival and the dangers of
finding oneself on the wrong side of history.
‘An unforgettable tale of friendship, love, courage and survival. I loved every word of this fantastically engrossing novel. Jenny Lecoat is an author
to watch!’ – Bestselling author Kelly Rimmer on The Girl from the Channel Islands

Day 24: The China Shelf
In a new rule-changing level of discourse, in this unique and peerless collection, a China Shelf is at once a location threatened by Australian
nuclear submarines, and a space for the necessary ornaments of civilisation, whether they are artifacts, human rights or memory. Here, this is a
symbolic space also represented by the concept of a physical china shelf. The multifaceted artifacts on the China Shelf manifest throughout the poems.
In one sense, they are described as physical objects on a shelf, able to be placed, touched, appreciated and analysed. On it, models of nuclear
submarines and military vehicles are as accessible as its exquisite ornaments, relaxed Art Deco nudes, Chinese lions, Tang horses, figurines of Robert
Burns and dancers in red tones created with gold, water-carrier or arched Chinese ships.

Day 25 - The Wrong Hands by Mark Billingham.
https://goodreadingmagazine.snapforms.com.au/form/25-july-wr...
Detective Declan Miller–dancer, rat owner, widower, master crime solver – returns in the twisty, witty follow-up to the much-praised Sunday Times
bestseller The Last Dance.
This is one case Miller won’t want to open . . .
Unconventional Detective Declan Miller has a problem. Still desperate to solve the murder of his wife, a young man has just appeared on his doorstep
with a briefcase . . . containing a pair of severed hands.
Miller knows this case is proof of a contract killing commissioned by local ne’er do well Wayne Cutler – a man he suspects might also be responsible
for his wife’s death. Now Miller has leverage, but unfortunately he also has something that both Cutler and a villainous fast-food kingpin are
desperate to get hold of.
Chuck in a Midsomer Murders-obsessed hitman, a psychotic welder and a woman driven over the edge by a wayward Creme Egg, and Miller is in a mess that
even he might not be able to dance his way out of.
To enter, tell us what the briefcase contains.

Refugia by Elfie Shosaki
‘in ember and ash / the heart of the Noongar Nation beats buried…’
Refugia is an unparalleled work of vision and political fury from Noongar and Yawuru poet and scholar Elfie Shiosaki. Inspired by the beeliar (Swan
River) and the NASA James Webb Space Telescope’s first year of science, this collection draws on colonial archives to contest the occupation of
Noongar Country.
As the bicentennial year of the colony of Western Australia approaches, Shiosaki looks to the stars and back to the earth to make sense of memory and
the afterlife of imperial violence.
To enter, tell us what river Elfie Shiosaki was inspired by.

Day 27: Win Lest by Mark Dapin.
https://goodreadingmagazine.snapforms.com.au/form/27-july-le...
From Simpson’s donkey and the Emu War to Vietnam and Ben Roberts-Smith, Australian military history is full of events that didn’t happen the way most
people think they did. In his inimitable style, award-winning author Mark Dapin sets the record straight.
Australia has many stories and statues ‘lest we forget’ our military past. But from Simpson’s donkey to Ben Roberts-Smith, our history is full of
events that didn’t happen the way most people think they did.
The first Anzac Day, for example, was far from being a solemn march – it was a celebration where people dressed as cavemen and dinosaurs, among other
things. And is it true that British officers callously dispatched Australian soldiers to their deaths in the Dardanelles, as we’ve been told? Did we
really hate the soldiers returning from Vietnam? Were the white-feather women of the First World War fact or fiction?
In his inimitable style, award-winning author and historian Mark Dapin sets the record straight, showing that the reality was often completely
different from the myth – and that in celebrating the wrong people we often overlook the real heroes.

Day 30: Wed by the Wayside
https://goodreadingmagazine.snapforms.com.au/form/30-july-we...
Can we ever understand the decisions our loved ones make? This is the story of the Wayside Chapel, a quiet revolution from a side street of Kings
Cross, Sydney.
Alana Valentine’s mother, Janice, was remarried in 1969 at the Wayside Chapel, run by the charismatic and controversial minister Ted Noffs and his
wife Margaret. Many years after her mother died, Alana found the wedding photo, and the longing to speak to her mother about that day drove her to
seek out others who had begun new chapters of their lives at Wayside.
What Alana found was a remarkable group of people, whose stories are told here with kaleidoscopic effect. Wayside is a uniquely Australian institution
where people have been welcomed for decades in spite of social taboos around race, class, religion and sexuality. Over the years, the likes of Ita
Buttrose, Andy Gibb and Jane Powell have been married there, and the Chapel has been supported by famous ambassadors such as David Wenham, Claudia
Karvan and Leah Purcell.
Told with grace and insight by one of Australia’s most acclaimed playwrights, Wed by the Wayside is a deeply personal quest and a vibrant chronicle
that reshapes our understanding of this country’s social history.
To enter, tell us when Alana Valentine's mother was remarried? ANSWER: 1969
