Literary & Contemporary

Literary and contemporary novels that sit between the bestseller list and the university reading list, second-hand and posted around New Zealand. The titles here handle family, memory, migration and small-town life with some care, and many are the kind of book people press on friends. We describe every copy's condition, so you can pick a fine gift copy or a good reader. Browse the shelf, or watch it for new arrivals.
