Story
We all have a soundtrack to our lives, songs that as soon as we hear them we're transported to a moment in time. As the youngest child, and only girl, in a family of creative types, Myf Warhurst grew up with the music in her. Whether she was watching Daryl Braithwaite on TV on a Sunday night or listening to the crackle of the needle across vinyl as Agnetha and Anni-Frid took her from rural Victoria to Eurovision, music has always shaped Myf's life. Later her love of music (and the realisation that a professional pianist gig wasn't part of the plan) would shape her career.

Story
Set in a chaotic time in England, during the height of the Napoleonic Wars, Caroline Helstone's world is turned upside down when she meets the vivacious Shirley Keeldar. Shirley becomes a beacon of light for Caroline as the two become close friends. However, Caroline is soon shocked to discover that Shirley has won the affections of Robert Moore, the impoverished mill owner whom she loves. Fully representative of Yorkshire life at the time, Brontë's second novel is completely gripping, unrelenting and utterly wrenching in its portrayal.

Story
Frances is an artist in her forties living a quiet life in a remote mountain town in NSW, far away from the glittering lights and famous personalities of the Sydney art world she once knew. When an invitation arrives from a former lover to attend his exhibition at a state gallery, Frances is plunged back into the past, where a single irrevocable act changed the course of her story. Told across two time periods, Frances's story wrestles with themes of power and privilege, womanhood and motherhood, artistic doubt, the male gaze upon the female body, and the commodification of art.

Publisher's Summary
Her Fidelity is the comedic confessional story of 29-year-old Kathy, who is in a state of arrested development.
Kathy has accidentally continued working at Rocking Donkey Records, an independent record shop in Brisbane, for 15 years. She started there as a total fangirl high schooler, stayed through university, and oops, suddenly 30 is on the horizon and she's still dealing with mansplaining music bros both at and behind the counter, and measuring her self-worth by her knowledge of Nick Cave's back catalogue. When the daily grind of working in the male-dominated record industry gets her down, Kathy finds solace in her two best friends: fierce 47-year-old colleague Mel and Alex, whom Kathy has known since preschool, a straight-laced accountant and mother of a young son.
When Mel announces that she is leaving the Rocking Donkey and moving to Sydney, cracks appear in Kathy's comfortable indie bubble. Her friends are clearly moving on with their lives, while Kathy is stuck in a cycle of record store, pub, repeat. A fight with Mel and Alex makes her realise that she has internalised much of the misogyny she has experienced over the past 15 years and that she can be more than her taste in music. In fact, it's actually okay to like Beyoncé even if Beyoncé doesn't write acoustic ballads about alcoholism.
Meanwhile, Kathy meets shy, self-effacing Patrick. Their burgeoning romance is impeded by bungling interactions, and a one-night-stand with Jake, whom she met at a party at her boss' place. After a stealthing incident, Kathy realises this is less bad sex, and more bad guy. Jake embodies everything that Kathy realises she needs to fight. She and Mel take measures to show the guys at the Rocking Donkey, and elsewhere, that the times, they are a-changin'.
This is a funny pop-culture-saturated feminist coming-of-age story that will appeal to anyone who loved the bookish musicality of Taylor Jenkins Reid's Daisy Jones and the Six, the wicked humour of Caitlin Moran, or anyone who has ever turned to Stevie Nicks for advice while ignoring the sensible people around them.

Come for the laffs, stay for the poignancy
A book for anyone who has stayed too long in a dead end job, mired in listlessness while everyone around you moves on. It’s very witty too, almost like Laurie Colwin got a job in a record store.

Better than a sneaky night cheese
I just finished her fidelity and cried my eyes out. I really loved it. All the characters were so real and all the little mundane things that make up a life were made so much richer than a lesser authors more fantastical tales. Deffo recommend
