Adeline Terrace in Melbourne during 1938 is brought to vivid life in Body and Soul. The Marks young women, Julie, Ella and Lilbet's lives pivot around domestic tasks in a motherless household with their dour father. But their existence is not drudgery, and the domestic is celebrated in this fascinating book. Julie is a marvellous cook, and the aromas of her meals rise off the page.Into their lives comes the charming Felix Goldfarb, refugee from Hitler's Germany and teller of mesmerising tales. He beguiles the extended household, but with prescience, bookish Lilbet remains sceptical.The ambivalence Lilbet feels towards her family, her own mixed feelings toward Felix and the double-edged sword of love and envy challenge Lilbet as she struggles to mature despite her disability and the oppressive care of her older sister, Julie.

An important new novel about one family’s experience in the Warsaw Ghetto during the Second World War. 
Hanna Kaminsky loves gymnastics, her best friend Eva, Elza’s chicken soup with dumplings and reading. But in September of 1939, the happy life that Hanna has always known disappears. 
The Nazis have invaded Poland and are herding all Jews into ghettos in the cities. Hanna’s family members are forced into hiding in the countryside. For a while it seems they are safe. But hiding from the Germans means trusting others. 
Rounded up by the SS, Hanna and her family are sent to the Warsaw Ghetto where they must use whatever skills they have to survive. 
Through the eyes of young Hanna, this novel skillfully handles its intense subject matter and provides moving insight into one of the defining events of our recent history.
