Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. It is night. They move with such stealth they could be almost floating along the road. I can't see faces, just the outline of their movement. But when the moon drifts out from behind a cloud, bathing the road in an urgent sort of light, I see how they're all gazing up towards me.'They're coming back,' I murmur. I turn to Kendall, and she puts her sewing aside, eyes on me. They never waver.It was supposed to be a place where teenagers would learn resilience, confidence and independence, where long hikes and runs in the bush would make their bodies strong and foster a connection with the natural world. Living in bare wooden huts, cut off from the outside world, the students would experience a very different kind of schooling, one intended to have a strong influence over the kind of adults they would eventually become.Fourteen-year-old Rebecca Starford spent a year at this school in the bush. In her boarding house sixteen girls were left largely unsupervised, a combination of the worst behaved students and some of the most socially vulnerable. As everyone tried to fit in and cope with their feelings of isolation and homesickness, Rebecca found herself joining ranks with the powerful girls, becoming both a participant--and later a victim-- of various forms of bullying and aggression.Bad Behaviour tells the story of that year, a time of friendship and joy, but also of shame and fear. It explores how those crucial experiences affected Rebecca as an adult and shaped her future relationships, and asks courageous questions about the nature of female friendship.Moving, wise and painfully honest, this extraordinary memoir shows how bad behaviour from childhood, in all its forms, can be so often and so easily repeated throughout our adult lives. It should have been a time of acquiring confidence, building self respect and independence, of fostering a connection with the natural world through long hikes. A gripping, compulsively readable memoir of bullying at an elite country boarding school. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 'The Imitator gripped me to the end: I devoured it . What a rare treat to find a novel that offers both white-knuckled suspense and evocative, beautiful prose. I loved it.' - Hannah Kent, author of Burial Rites and The Good People 'We trade in secrets here, Evelyn. There's no shame in having a few of your own. Our only concern is for who might discover them.'Out of place at boarding school, scholarship girl Evelyn Varley realises that the only way for her to fit in is to be like everyone else. She hides her true self and what she really thinks behind the manners and attitudes of those around her. By the time she graduates from Oxford University in 1939, ambitious and brilliant Evelyn has perfected her performance.War is looming. Evelyn soon finds herself recruited to MI5, and the elite counterintelligence department of Bennett White, the enigmatic spy-runner. Recognising Evelyn's mercurial potential, White schools her in observation and subterfuge and assigns her the dangerous task of infiltrating an underground group of Nazi sympathisers working to form an alliance with Germany.But befriending people to betray them isn't easy, no matter how dark their intent. Evelyn is drawn deeper into a duplicity of her own making, where truth and lies intertwine, and her increasing distrust of everyone, including herself, begins to test her better judgement. When a close friend becomes dangerously ensnared in her mission, Evelyn's loyalty is pushed to breaking point, forcing her to make an impossible decision.A powerfully insightful and luminous portrait of courage and loyalty, and the sacrifices made in their name.'Starford's control of the plotting is exceptional, her dialogue is precise, and her ability to evoke London at that time is superb. A highly recommended, cracking read.' - Good Reading'A beguiling and compelling tale with a finely attuned sense of time and place.' - Thuy On, The Sydney Morning Herald A page-turning World War Two spy thriller, based on true events.

Mirandi RiwoeA son becomes enthralled in his father's quest for treasure. A young woman is blamed for an unfathomable act. Teenagers break into an airfield. Strangers meet in the night. The world is thrown into chaos when people spontaneously combust.New Australian Fiction features brilliant writers with distinct experiences, voices and styles from all corners of Australia.

All 16 stories in this collection teem with sharp prose, writing that fosters intrigue and elicits empathy, deftly inviting the reader to step into vivid snapshots of moments in the narrators' lives. New Australian Fiction 2021is a versatile and immersive collection that promises to delight all lovers of fiction.' Shivani Prabhu, Books+Publishing'The sixteen stories in this year's New Australian Fiction anthology differ in subject matter, form and style, but what they have in common is the sense of apprehension and uncertainty produced by the pandemic and by the threat to the environment and to humanity posed by the effects of climate change. As editor Rebecca Starford points out in her thoughtful introduction, even when the stories are ostensibly about such things as family, isolation, travel, or sexual uncertainty and adventure, the fragile mood of our times underlies them. It makes for introspective and vulnerable voices and characters, and often for memorable stories that linger in the mind.' The Age/Sydney Morning HeraldPraise for previous editions:'At a clutch moment in Australian publishing, the volume certainly has its finger on the pulse.' The Age, Pick of the Week'Nuanced, captivating and accomplished. Australian short fiction is indeed alive and well.'

Her decision echoes for years after the war, impacting everyone who thought they knew the real Evelyn Varley.Beguiling and dark, An Unlikely Spy is a fascinating story of deception and sacrifice, based on the history of real people within the British intelligence community.
