When my cousins and I were young, we built a makeshift Christmas tree in our grandma’s basement garage. Christmas was a relatively new celebration for our family: my parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles had arrived in Australia as refugees from Vietnam in the late 1970s and, as Buddhists, didn’t celebrate Christmas – until young children came along. So, our tree was fashioned out of cardboard tubes – the kind that hold bolts of fabric, since our family was in the textiles business.

The Voice Inside by John FarnhamMemoir, Hachette, $49.99Most Australians would assume they know everything they need to know about Farnham, possibly our best living singer, given his living-legend status and that song’s ubiquity. But Farnham is a man who prizes privacy and he has largely kept his cards close to his chest – until just three years ago, when he allowed film-maker Poppy Stockell to make a documentary about him.

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.
