Signs of Damage by Diana ReidFiction, Ultimo, $34.99Diana Reid’s breakout debut, Love and Virtue, tapped the millennial zeitgeist from all angles: a campus novel exploring class, power and rape culture. Her fast follow-up, Seeing Other People, dealt in similar grey areas, starring two sisters in their 20s, both drawn to the same women. Signs of Damage is something of a departure: a thriller set in Europe across two time periods, as a family reckons with unknown trauma.

Juice by Tim WintonFiction, Penguin Random House, $49.99 (hardback)Juice is a Tim Winton novel, but not as you know it. Though it shares many concerns with his other works – the environment, family, the costs of an activist’s life – it also has an urgent energy I haven’t see before: a zing that jolts you out of your comfort zone, like a slap to the face.

Alex Miller’s career now spans almost four decades. Resplendently beautiful and gracefully poised, his writing on love, artistic becoming, and belonging has won him most of our top awards. Miller’s new novel, The Deal, expands on one of his most complex works, 1992’s The Ancestor Game (one of his two Miles Franklin winners). And while it is fascinating to see how he excavates ideas from three decades ago, The Deal also works as a stand-alone book.

It is a novel that will stay with you. Fay is a young up-and-coming translator, working in Taiwanese and English. We join Fay and her mother as they embark on a two-week group tour of France.
