This is your chance to get an exclusive boxed set of 20th anniversary special editions. The Boxed set has never been available for retail.
Each of the books was published to commemorate Allen & Unwin's 20th anniversary last year. The print run was limited to 500 copies, and each one comes numbered and is signed by the author. The four books are:
The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas - A powerful, haunting novel about love, sex and marriage, parenting
and children, and the fury and intensity that family can arouse. Winner of the 2009 Commonwealth Fiction Prize and short-listed for the 2010 Man Booker Prize
Lillian's Story by Kate Grenville - The heartwarming story of Lilian Singer, who starts life at the beginning of the twentieth century as the daughter of a prosperous middle-class Australian family and ends it as a cheerfully eccentric bag-lady living on the streets, quoting Shakespeare for a living. Winner of the 1984 Australian Vogel Prize for Fiction
The White Earth by Andrew McGahan - A haunting novel about the power of the land and the passions of people trying to make it their own. Winner of the 2005 Miles Franklin Award.
Journey to the Stone Country by Alex Miller - A superbly compelling work of betrayals, compassion, secrets and reconciliation. Winner of the 2003 Miles Franklin Award.
