NEW RELEASES<br />
A Fish In the Swim of the World<br />
by local lyttelton author/poet Ben Brown<br />
Affecting and evocative, this classic memoir by one of Aotearoa’s finest Maori writers<br />
is now updated with new material.<br />
‘This is a book of memories. Some of them are my own. Some of them belong to<br />
others. They are as true and as fallible as any memories—distorted by time and<br />
distance and a writer’s choice of words…’ In the debut memoir that kickstarted a<br />
writing career that has spawned more than 20 books, including many award-winners,<br />
Ben Brown writes of a quintessentially New Zealand way of living that may not change<br />
the world or even ripple its waters, but is replete with meaning.<br />
Gathered from the tobacco-green valleys of the Motueka River where he grew up<br />
during the 1960s and 1970s, Brown’s memoir is rich with a sense of place, of family.<br />
Each story, each portrait, resonates with the dignity, warmth and understated humour<br />
of one of our finest poetic voices.<br />
Sevens Sisters<br />
How a People-First Culture turned silver into Gold<br />
by rikki swannell<br />
When Tyla Nathan-Wong popped over the conversion in what was the final act of the<br />
Rio Olympic gold medal match, her distraught face said it all. It was a look that was<br />
mirrored across the faces of the entire New Zealand team, slumped around the ground<br />
at the Deodoro Stadium as Australia celebrated their history making Olympic gold<br />
medal at the 2016 Games. It’s all well and good to have the best athletes, but if there<br />
was one thing everyone involved in the Black Ferns Rio Olympic campaign had learned<br />
it’s that what happens off the field can make or break what happens on it. A reset was<br />
needed and “people first” would be at the heart of that change. Led by new coach<br />
Allan Bunting and a large, diverse leadership group, the Black Ferns Sevens set course<br />
on what would turn out to be a five-year path to not only win gold at the Tokyo Olympics<br />
and be world dominant but to enhance the mana of the jersey and inspire people.<br />
The Widows of Champagne<br />
by renee ryan<br />
In this captivating story of resilience, three generations of women battle to save their<br />
family’s vineyard from the ravages of WWII. Champagne, 1939<br />
Gabrielle Leblanc Dupree is taking her family’s future into her hands. While she should be<br />
preparing for a lavish party to celebrate two centuries of champagne making, she secretly<br />
hides Chateau Fouché-Leblanc’s most precious vintages behind a fake wall in the cellar in<br />
preparation for the looming war. But when she joins the resistance, the coveted<br />
champagne isn’t the most dangerous secret her cellar must conceal…<br />
There’s even more at stake than Hélène dares admit. She has kept her heritage a<br />
secret…and no one is safe in Nazi-occupied France.<br />
Across years and continents, the Leblanc women will draw on their courage and wits,<br />
determined against all odds to preserve their lives, their freedom and their legacy…<br />
No Excuses: My Story<br />
From crime to community and fat to fit<br />
by dave letele<br />
The amazing true story of Dave “the Brown Buttabean” Letele and how he turned his<br />
life around. Dave Letele’s incredible life has taken him from footy to failure, crime to<br />
community, fat to fit and riches to rags -- and back again.<br />
Today, he is an award-winning community leader and life coach who, as the face of<br />
Buttabean Motivation, helps literally thousands of ordinary people achieve their goals.<br />
He provides targeted health and fitness programmes, helps young people find jobs,<br />
and runs a foodshare for those in need. But it wasn’t always like that. He has overcome<br />
poverty, obesity, intergenerational trauma, depression, the lure of a life of crime and<br />
his own demons. Like Dave says, “I’ve been at the bottom and I’ve been at the top,<br />
and everywhere in between … If I can do it, you can. No excuses.” This is his story.<br />
Eddy, Eddy<br />
by Kate de Goldi<br />
Eddy, Eddy is a coming of age story, a love story, an earthquake story and a story of<br />
finding your way back from grief. Eddy Smallbone (orphan) is grappling with identity,<br />
love, loss, and religion. It’s two years since he blew up his school life and the<br />
earthquakes felled his city. Home life is maddening. His pet-minding job is expanding in<br />
peculiar directions. And now the past and the future have come calling - in unexpected<br />
form. As Eddy navigates his way through the Christchurch suburbs to Christmas,<br />
juggling competing responsibilities and an increasingly noisy interior world, he moves<br />
closer and closer to an overdue personal reckoning. Eddy, Eddy is a richly layered novel,<br />
deftly written with humour and pathos: a love story, peopled with flawed and comical<br />
characters, both human and animal; and a story of grief, the way its punch may leave<br />
you floundering - and how others can help you find your way back.<br />
