Lovers in Auschwitz - A True Story
By Keren Blankfeld
The incredible true story of two Holocaust survivors who fell in love in Auschwitz,
only to be separated upon liberation and lead remarkable lives apart following
the war-and then find each other again more than 70 years later Zippi Spitzer and
David Wisnia were captivated by each other from the moment they first exchanged
glances across the work floor. It was the beginning of a love story that could have
happened anywhere. Except for one difference- this romance was unfolding
in history’s most notorious death camp, between two young prisoners whose
budding intimacy risked dooming them if they were caught. Incredibly, David and
Zippi survived for years beneath the ash-choked skies of Auschwitz. Under the
protection of their fellow inmates, their romance grew and deepened, even as
their brushes with death mounted and David’s luck in particular seemed close to
running out. As the war’s end finally approached and the time came for them to
leave the camp, David and Zippi made plans to meet again. An unbelievable tale of
romance, sacrifice, loss, and resilience, Lovers in Auschwitz is a saga of two young
people who found themselves trapped inside a waking nightmare of the Nazis’
creation, yet who nevertheless discovered a love that sustained them through
history’s darkest hour.

Feijoa - A story of obsession and belonging
By Kate Evans
Inspired by a personal obsession with this singular exotic fruit, Feijoa is a
sweeping, global tale about the dance between people and plants - how we need
each other, how we change each other, and the surprising ways certain species
make their way into our imaginations, our stomachs, and our hearts. The feijoa
comes from the highlands of Southern Brazil and the valleys of Uruguay, where
it was woven into indigenous and Afro-Brazilian cultures. It was scientifically
named in Berlin, acclimatised on the French Riviera, and failed to make its fortune
in California. Today, it is celebrated by one small town in the Colombian Andes,
and has become an icon of community and nationhood in New Zealand. Of the
world’s roughly 30,000 edible plant species, only around 150 are now cultivated
for human consumption. Feijoa is a book about connection. Between people and
plants, between individuals, between cultures, across disciplines - it celebrates
the ways our lives and loves intersect in surprising ways.
The Chocolate Factory
by Mary-Lou Stephens
Love, friendship and dangerous secrets in the early years of Cadbury’s Tasmanian
factory. It’s 1921, and after years of working for Cadbury’s at Bournville, Dorothy
Adwell is on her way to a new adventure in the colonies, helping to establish the
Firm’s new Australian factory. A promotion and a fresh start are just what she
needs after the horrors of the Great War and the loss of her beloved husband.
During the long sea voyage, she meets Thomas and is immediately drawn to him.
The war has left Thomas damaged, both mentally and emotionally, and Dorothy
vows to help him - if only he will let her. Cadbury’s competitors have one goal: to
steal the recipe for Dairy Milk, the most popular chocolate in the world. But the
recipe is kept in a vault and the few who know it are legally bound to never divulge
its secret. When chocolate spies target the new factory, Dorothy and Maisie
become caught up in their plot. Can they protect the recipe, help those they love
and fulfil their own dreams? A tangled web of ambition and intrigue melts into a
tale as delicious and rich as chocolate.
