byronchild's Current favourites | Peace Between the Sheets by Marnia Robinson
Most of us know by now that men and women are different. Yet it is not the differences that cause distress in our relationships. It is what we have in common: programmed, biological responses that are as unconscious as blinking. The primitive part of our brain pierces us with Cupid’s arrow and we fall in love. It then rips the arrow out ...
Our perception of each other – and behaviour towards each other – changes for the worse. Remarkably, such diverse symptoms as selfishness, infidelity, unfulfilled needs, lack of communication, nagging, addictions and sexless marriages all originate in these unsuspected commands.
| Motherhood by Anne Manne
Covers the debates over early institutional childcare, the problems of reconciling work and family life, the crisis of fertility, and the impact of the new capitalism on the changing landscape of childhood.

BOOKER PRIZE WINNER |  The Inheritance of Loss by Kiran Desai
At the foot of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, lives an embittered old judge who wants nothing more than to retire in peace. But with the arrival of his orphaned granddaughter, Sai, and his cook's son trying to stay a step ahead of US immigration services, this is far from easy. When a Nepalese insurgency threatens Sai's blossoming romance with her handsome tutor they are forced to consider their colliding interests. The judge must revisit his past, his own journey and his role in this grasping world of conflicting desires - every moment holding out the possibility for hope or betrayal.
