Paperback. Zustand: Good. Young Heather Heberley, coming as a bride from Auckland to a remote bay in the Marlborough Sounds, did not realize how much the words weather permitting were to rule her life. Sea tragedies, the sinking of the Mikhail Lermontov, her husband Joe's role in search and rescues - all these are detailed alongside the often funny, sometimes tragic aspects of the Heberleys' farming and fishing life. Heather Heberley's unassuming but robust story shows how she grows into a mother, mechanic, plumber, teacher, farmer, nurse, woolclasser and licensed skipper. More than a million people each year pass the South Island's isolated 'first house on the right' on Arapawa Island, just inside the Tory Channel. Heather's marriage into the well-known Heberley clan and her arrival, in 1963, at their bay have given her the fascinating and formative experiences that make up this compelling autobiography. 222 pages.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Shirley Temple is a wife and mother. Things are not always what they seem, least of all in this collection of 34 stories by 22 New Zealanders. The wry, poignant title story is about a crisis in New Zealand, not Hollywood. Most of the stories are by women, about women. Many are about the hungers of women. And if beneath the surface there is a desperate reaching out, this is how so many writers see life in the 1970s. Humour, robust stories of men at work, fantasy and moments of grace leaven the collection. Here are stories by and about Maoris, and Islanders; about children and schools and life styles from state house or bungalow to a shack in the country. Other ways of living are recalled, and some of the stories move beyond New Zealand. Spine creased; some foxing. 160 pages.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Girl Who Proposed, Elizabeth Smither's fifth collection of short stories shows this writer's brilliant insights and command of character and situation. The stories range widely in theme - happiness, suspense, humour and the working of human relationships. 'There's such a range of moods in them - fulfilment, meeting and parting, solitude, endeavour, plus much mischief and subversive wit.' - David Hill About the author Elizabeth Smither is a poet, novelist and short story writer. Her poetic style is considered idiosyncratic while it moves beyond the self-referential into the areas of legendary characters, Catholicism and the workings of language itself. As well as receiving numerous other awards, Elizabeth Smither was named the 2002 Te Mata Poet Laureate. She was awarded the MNZM in 2004, and the 2008 Prime Minister's Award for Literary Achievement in Poetry. 249 pages.
