But when Serena learns that she can never bear a child, she sets out to murder the woman who bore George a son before his marriage. And when she starts to suspect that George is protecting his illegitimate family, the Pembertons' intense, passionate marriage begins to unravel as the story moves toward its shocking reckoning.

Win a copy of 'Life or Death' by Michael Robotham - Living Channel

Expired

Audie Palmer has been in prison for a decade (armed robbery, murder). Five million dollars from the robbery has never been recovered and everybody believes that he knows where the money is - but despite many people trying to beat the information out of him, he consistently maintains he doesn't know.
Then, the night before he's due to be released from prison, he escapes - which is widely construed by everyone to have something to do with the money. But as Audie's plan unfolds we learn that there are stronger motivations than money. Motivations that people will kill for, or live for - and that Audie's audacious plan (brilliantly plotted and told) is bigger than all of them..

Healthy in body and mind is what we all aspire to be.

Full of the wisdom and good nourishment that helped Sadie, Holly and Amber through their own personal struggles and setbacks, Nourish promises to restore you to the path of complete well-being. With Amber’s delicious food to nourish the body, Holly’s exercises to strengthen it and Sadie’s beauty recipes to soothe the skin, plus yoga and meditation routines to still the mind, this beautiful book is the perfect antidote to the stresses and strains of modern life, providing a holistic way to stay healthy.
Sadie Frost is the mother of Jude Law’s children, an actress in her own right, and a designer with her own fashion label, Frost French. Her sister, Holly Davidson is an actress, model and personal trainer. Amber Rose is a food stylist who grew up in New Zealand surrounded by heritage fruit and vegetables on the land of her mother, organics guru Kay Baxter, before then travelling the world, cooking in caf?s and restaurants. She was Sadie’s private chef before becoming a doula and cook to new mothers. Amber’s first book, Love Bake Nourish, was very well received internationally, and in New Zealand.

Win a copy of 'Hometown New Zealand' by Derek Smith - Living Channel

Expired

Derek Smith has spent most of his working life working as a meter reader, a deliberate choice of occupation, as it has allowed him to pursue his vocation as a photographer. Inspired by the social documentary style of photographers such as Walker Evans and William Eggleston, and closer to home Robin Morrision and Les Cleveland, he set out 30 years ago to actively record details of the cities, suburbs, small towns and rural areas he was visiting in the course of his work.
His aim has always been to combine the often overlooked aesthetic qualities of everyday objects with a historical record of visual fashion.
After beginning to build up a body of work in Auckland, Derek then moved to Wellington, Nelson, Dunedin and the Coromandel Peninusla in the course of his work. The result is a remarkable and unique collection of images covering the whole country, that are compelling both as photographs, but also as an important documentary record of New Zealand’s social environment.

ICONZ | Belinda Ellis
This book takes an affectionate look at what New Zealanders hold dear.
ICONZ is an encyclopaedic collection of 64 illustrated graphic icons cataloguing New Zealand’s popular culture and identity. The book takes an affectionate look at what New Zealanders hold dear, and is intended for the local market, nostalgic expats abroad and visiting tourists alike.
An abundance of existing material brandishing ‘kiwiana’ in various guises – not all, but much of it kitsch – led Belinda Ellis, one of the country’s leading graphic designers, to create this iconic look at New Zealand identity.
Her intention was to create a recognisable New Zealand brand that would truly stand out. The project’s point of difference is in its quality of design and production standards, as well as in its uniformity of look.
ICONZ pushes past ‘kiwiana’, to depict iconic New Zealanders, Maoridom, cuisine, products and pastimes, as well as comparable aspects of our flora and fauna. The suite of icons is to be for commercial publication and application under the trademark, ICONZ. This book is intended to serve as the foundation of the project, showcasing the icons in an illustrated book with high production values.
Concurrently with the book’s publication, and under the same trademark, the icons have been applied to a range of retail merchandise: art-quality prints and stationery; clothing and accessories; household items; even chocolates.
Belinda Ellis is a New Zealand designer, painter, illustrator and lover of words. A graduate from Wellington Polytechnic School of Design (1986), Belinda has had a successful career as a graphic designer in New Zealand and London. More recently, Belinda was a lead designer at Designworks, one of Australasia’s leading brand agencies. She has won various awards for her design work, most notably, a Designers Institute of New Zealand Best Design Award Gold Pin for the identity and trophy for the New Zealand Prime Minister’s Science Prize (2010).
In 2012, Belinda left Designworks to write, illustrate and design a series of picture books celebrating the nuances and joy of language. The first two – Back-To-Front Bob and Punctuation Mark – were published this year.
