Anna and Annie discuss the Women's Prize Shortlist - so many thoughts! - and the New South Wales Premier's Literary Awards, including Deep Time Dreaming, The Trauma Cleaner and Boy Swallows Universe.

Our book of the week is The Erratics by Vicki Laveau-Harvie.  A darkly funny memoir about caring for ageing parents in Alberta, Canada - but this is unlike any other mother-daughter story that we've read.  Winner of the 2018 Finch Memoir Prize and the 2019 Stella Prize, it is becoming one of the most talked-about books of the year.

Next week, Anna and Amanda will be reading The Van Apfel Girls Are Gone by Felicity McLean.
