Story4.5 out of 5 stars 75
Irina obsessively takes explicit photographs of the average-looking men she persuades to model for her, scouted from the streets of Newcastle. Placed on sabbatical from her dead-end bar job, she is offered an exhibition at a fashionable London gallery, promising to revive her career in the art world and offering an escape from her rut of drugs, alcohol and extreme cinema. The news triggers a self-destructive tailspin, centred around Irina's relationship with her obsessive best friend and a shy young man from her local supermarket who has attracted her attention....

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 673
Piranesi lives in the House. Perhaps he always has. In his notebooks, day after day, he makes a clear and careful record of its wonders: the labyrinth of halls, the thousands upon thousands of statues, the tides that thunder up staircases, the clouds that move in slow procession through the upper halls. On Tuesdays and Fridays Piranesi sees his friend, the Other. At other times he brings tributes of food to the Dead. But mostly, he is alone.

Young Elly's world is shaped by those who inhabit it: her loving but maddeningly distractible parents; a best friend who smells of chips and knows exotic words like 'slag'; an ageing fop who tapdances his way into her home, a Shirley Bassey impersonator who trails close behind; lastly, of course, a rabbit called God. In a childhood peppered with moments both ordinary and extraordinary, Elly's one constant is her brother Joe. Twenty years on, Elly and Joe are fully grown and as close as they ever were. Until, that is, an earth-shattering event that threatens to destroy their bond for ever.

In this hilarious history, David Hunt reveals the truth of Australia's past, from megafauna to Macquarie - the cock-ups and curiosities, the forgotten eccentrics and Eureka moments that have made us who we are. Girt introduces forgotten heroes like Mary McLoghlin, transported for the crime of "felony of sock", and Trim the cat, who beat a French monkey to become the first animal to circumnavigate Australia.

Publisher's Summary
Nominated for the Booker Prize 2019.
Shortlisted for the 2019 Women’s Prize for Fiction.
Korede is bitter. How could she not be? Her sister, Ayoola, is many things: the favourite child, the beautiful one, possibly sociopathic. And now Ayoola's third boyfriend in a row is dead.
Korede's practicality is the sisters' saving grace. She knows the best solutions for cleaning blood, the trunk of her car is big enough for a body and she keeps Ayoola from posting pictures of her dinner to Instagram when she should be mourning her 'missing' boyfriend. Not that she gets any credit.
A kind, handsome doctor at the hospital where Korede works is the bright spot in her life. She dreams of the day when he will realise they're perfect for each other. But one day Ayoola shows up to the hospital uninvited and he takes notice. When he asks Korede for Ayoola's phone number, she must reckon with what her sister has become and what she will do about it. Sharp as nails and full of deadpan wit, Oyinkan Braithwaite has written a deliciously deadly debut that's as fun as it is frightening.

loved this book, it was so entertaining and surprisingly oddball. I doubt the subject matter would be for everyone but I'm not easily put off by serial killers. Narrator was awesome

Too short but a good story
I liked the story but it was too short. I didn't realise that this is more a novella and as such the ending came too soon. The narrator was good. Due to the shortness of the book and that I didn't feel the book was worth a full credit, I gave it 3 stars, although 3.5 stars would be more appropriate.

Love, loyalty, lies
A gorgeously written novella, not a word wasted. Deftly developed story and characters, and just enough nuanced twists to create surprise. Excellent narration.

Suprisingly entertaining and bewildering
The narrator’s performance added the depth to the characters of the story. It was captivating to listen to Korede, the older sister’s narration and perception of encounters, moments and of course the murders. Told in a candid, light and matter-of-fact tone it feels like there so much more to read in between what the characters say and what they perceived to have happen. I couldn’t give it 5 stars ‘cause I cannot figure out the abrupt ending of the story. I only started figuring out the irony of which sister is really the serial killer and feel like I’m missing something. But all in all a refreshing story and perspective one that will keep you hooked ‘til the end.

Loved it from start to finish. Went searching for more by this author but self no more yet. Thought provoking for me with two very different sisters and a family split due to one. Love love loved this book!

Enjoyable on a number levels
Brilliant narration brought the Nigerian characters, setting and style of speech to life
Written in a punchy style and moves at quick pace.
A surprisingly fun listen given the subject matter - can be enjoyed just as an easy read but can also make you think about big issues (like sibling relationships, status of women and men, beauty) without being judgy or preachy. A gem of a novella.
