When two mighty coffee-producers from opposite cultures collide, love and hatred come together to form a thrilling result. Set in the lush surroundings of rural Brazil and Vietnam, this is a suspenseful love story, on many levels, but also a tale that strongly champions the worth of family values. Luiz Almeida, the patriarch of the Brazilian family, his intelligent and beautiful granddaughter, Gabrielle and a strong-willed, but very troubled, young Vietnamese man, Dai Ca Phung, are the individuals who form the basis of this epic story that spans the period between 1956 and 2014. Dai is infused with hatred of "anything American", due to his tragic upbringing in Vietnam. He uses this to plan a devastating attack on the coffee plantation, owned by the Almedia family, Nova Coffee ... Brazil''s biggest exporter of top-quality coffee to the USA. All goes to plan, until Cupid fires his romantic arrows.

In an Australian country town in the mid-1960s, a couple of adolescent boys are busy experimenting with incendiary devices while their town, including their school, is suffering a series of arson attacks. Are the boys responsible? At least, in part? Or is there something larger afoot? And how did it all go so dreadfully wrong? Meanwhile, in a small city not far away, another group of boys, somehow connected to those in the other place, get up to their own mischief playing with fire. This, too, with a whiff of the infernal, goes badly. The interlocking stories of Playing with Mischief are an exercise in smoke and mirrors. Along with real smoke, of which there is plenty, the stories are infused with a figurative smoke that obscures who is responsible for what. As to mirrors, consider the manner in which the diverse perspectives of these stories reflect back through one another. And then, beyond such obvious references, we should consider fiction's overarching artifice, in which Willis saw an affinity to the legerdemain of fairground magicians, the archetypical practitioners of smoke and mirrors. Playing with Mischief (the title itself suggests an alternative: Playing with Fire) is also an exercise in stylistic variation. The paired novellas, Mischief and The Fires, third and first person narratives respectively, are bookended by the shorter pieces, Invocation and The Exercise Book, distinctly at opposite ends of the stylistic spectrum. These different, to some extent contending voices enhance the basic mirroring effect between the competing narratives. Or, to shift the metaphor, they create a space in which whispered implications echo. An invocation of a world gone by, a world in which ghosts still wandered foggy streets and sometimes it was better to consult a priest than a doctor. An Australian country town in the mid-1960s.Teenage boys playing with guns and gunpowder.A series of suspicious fires.Where the fuse led was clear, but who struck the match was not so evident. Afterword by Josephine Tey.

Does a new dress have the power to change a woman's life?Thirty-five-year-old Waverley Litchfield, manager of vintage-inspired boutique, Right! A Dress, in Tasmania, is sure that it does: For fish-out-of-water journalist Holly, in the throes of an eating disorder that's seen her rapidly drop three dress sizes;For only child Vivian, who has no life - not now that she's been forced to take on full-time care of her elderly mother;For Fashions on the Field obsessed Tilly, whose biggest claim to fame so far has been falling off the catwalk and ending up in Accident and Emergency;For seriously overweight Raine, whose size is keeping her from being chief bridesmaid at her best friend's wedding;For forty-something Odette, fed up with sweating the small stuff until a brush with breast cancer puts everything into perspective;For young building apprentice Ashleigh, desperately in search of her 'tribe', andFor Sasha and Farelle, perilously close to losing everything to a runaway shopping habit and an all-consuming career.Singlehandedly, Waverley masterminds an ingenious fashion-inspired event that brings together all these women - and two men - and, incredibly, manages to change each of their lives for the better.But what about Waverley herself? Can a dress possibly cure her of the crippling flying phobia that's kept her trapped on her island home, able only to dream of Paris, the fashion capital of the world she has long yearned to visit? And how will it help her find love in the process?
