Synopsis

RUNNER-UP: Comedy Women in Print Prize
Paris, 1940. The course of Fatiha Bin-Khalid's life is changed forever when she befriends the Muslim feminist Doria Shafik. But after returning to Egypt and dedicating years to the fight for women's rights, she struggles to reconcile her political ideals with the realities of motherhood.
Cairo, 1966. After being publicly shamed when her relationship with a bisexual boyfriend is revealed, Fatiha's daughter is faced with an impossible decision. Should Yasminah accept a life she didn't choose, or will she leave her home and country in pursuit of independence?
Bristol, 2011. British-born Nadia is battling with an identity crisis and a severe case of herpes. Feeling unfulfilled (and after a particularly disastrous one-night stand), she moves in with her old-fashioned Aunt Yasminah and realises that she must discover her purpose in the modern world before it's too late.
Following the lives of three women from the Bin-Khalid family, Daughters of the Nile is an original and darkly funny novel that examines the enduring strength of female bonds. These women are no strangers to adversity, but they must learn from the past and relearn shame and shamelessness to radically change their futures.

    Highly entertaining, colourful and fast-moving, Derryn Hinch's Death At Newport is a thriller which knots together a story of intrigue and revenge - against the backdrop of that famous millionaire's playground during the 1974 America's Cup races. 
    The mystery's separate strands originate in places as far removed as the embittering jungles of Vietnam and the desperate shanty towns of Rio. 
    An Australian journalist, Jonathan Hunter, becomes involved with the svelte secretary of the fabulously wealthy Newport identity Penelope Pike. He is dragged into the action when Penelope, a woman scarred by a lifetime of controversial liaisons, becomes the target of a kidnapper whose motives are compounded by things more sinister... more personal... than a mere $5 million ransom. 
    Reluctantly conscripted into a life-or-death situation that must be kept from police - and unable to give rein to his journalistic instinct to break the biggest crime story of the decade - Hunter must find Penelope Pike before her tormentor can exact his revenge.

    Yet below the surface, Sara is anything but weak. No matter what, she won't give up on her child. And when she is cornered, she will go to extreme lengths to protect her most precious boy.
