Counter Intelligence from Dymocks Ponsonby

We asked Andrew from Dymocks Ponsonby what the team have enjoyed selling over the Summer:

Ordinary Thunderstorms - William Boyd
(Bloomsbury, 9781408802472)

At Dymocks Ponsonby, we are really enjoying selling William Boyd's Ordinary Thunderstorms this Summer.

Joy from Allen and Unwin told us how much she enjoyed Restless in 2008 so all the team read this new one and away it went. It filled any request for a bloke's Christmas Gift and the London story of a man putting off telling the police what he had seen created a great hook.

 
The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness
(Walker Books, 9781406326314)

Its also been great to have Patrick Ness' The Knife of Never Letting Go to sell to the teen market. His writing is top notch and the story is fresh with some depth to keep young adult eyes glued to the page.

 
 Our customers have also appreciated being introduced to The Elegance of the Hedgehog and Olive Kitteridge, along with Man Booker winner Wolf Hall.

The Elegance of the Hedgehog - Muriel Barbery
(Highbridge, 9781598879254)

 
Olive Kitteridge - Elizabeth Strout
(Random House, 9780812971835)

 Wolf Hall - Hilary Mantel
(Fourth Estate, 9780007292417)

On a sadder note Judith Binney's accident made for lots of sales of her Encircled Lands.
