Add to BookshelfBreaking Through
by Katalin Karikó
A powerful memoir from Katalin Karikó, winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, whose decades-long research led to the COVID-19 vaccines. Breaking Through isn’t just the story of an extraordinary woman. It’s an indictment of closed-minded thinking and a testament to one woman’s commitment to laboring intensely in obscurity — knowing she might never be recognized in a culture that is driven by prestige, power, and privilege — because she believed her work would save lives.

The Children’s Bach
by Helen Garner
Set in suburban Melbourne in the early 1980s, The Children’s Bach centers on Dexter and Athena Fox, their two sons, and the insulated world they’ve built together. Despite the routine challenges of domestic life, they are largely happy. But when a friend from Dexter’s past resurfaces and introduces the couple to the city’s bohemian underground — unbound by routine and driven by desire — Athena begins to wonder if life might hold more for her, and the tenuous bonds that tie the Foxes together start to fray.

This House of Grief
by Helen Garner
On the evening of Father’s Day, 2005, separated husband Robert Farquharson was driving his three young sons back to their mom’s house when the car veered off the road and plunged into a dam. Farquharson survived the crash, but his boys drowned. Was this a tragic accident, or an act of revenge? The court case that followed became a national obsession — a macabre parade of witnesses, family members, and the defendant himself, each forced to relive the unthinkable for an audience of millions. This is the engrossing true-crime classic from one of Australia’s most acclaimed writers.
