Inspired by perennial classic All Quiet on the Western Front, this is an unforgettable novel of war work, camaraderie and female friendship on the battlefields of WWI, and the brave and misled women on enemy lines . . . With a foreword by Alice Winn 'What is to happen to women like me when this war ends ... if it ever ends. I am twenty-one, yet I know nothing but death, fear, blood and sentimentality that glorifies in the name of patriotism.'Nell Smith is one of England's 'Splendid Daughters', middle-class women abroad doing their bit for King and Country in World War One. At just 21, she pays for the privilege of driving an ambulance to ferry the dying and wounded between the front line and hospital.Facing constant shellfire, half frozen, fed on inedible slop, with no sleep and enduring the lashing tongue of commandant 'Mrs Bitch', Nell and her sister drivers entertain no illusions about the war - unlike friends and family back home. Only their comradeship and letters from distant lovers sustains them.As the war grinds on, the lottery of who lives and who dies creeps closer to Nell herself. A naïve girl volunteered for this. But who is this broken woman nightly driving blind through hell itself?Praise for Helen Zenna Smith:'This intriguing book . . . vividly and impressionistically tells of the author's tour of duty in France. One welcomes its return to print' New York Times Book Review'A bittersweet feminist anti-war novel. Brilliantly written, and cleverly mixing humour with bitterness' Library Journal

Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth)
WINNER OF THE AUSTRALIAN INDIE BOOK AWARD FOR NONFICTION “Playful and poignant . . . will be enjoyed by readers of the best dog tales, such as The Art of Racing in the Rain, for its ability to evoke both the aggravation and deep love that dogs foster.”—BookPage In this poignant, funny, and disarmingly honest memoir, one of the world’s most beloved storytellers, the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Book Thief, tells of his family’s adoption of three troublesome rescue dogs—a charming and courageous love story about making even the most incorrigible animals family. There’s a madman dog beside me, and the hounds of memory ahead of us . . . It’s love and beasts and wild mistakes, and regret, but never to change things. What happens when the Zusak family opens their home to three big, wild, street-hardened dogs—Reuben, more wolf than hound; Archer, blond, beautiful, destructive; and the rancorously smiling Frosty, who walks like a rolling thunderstorm? The answer can only be chaos: There are street fights, park fights, public shamings, property damages, injuries, hospital visits, wellness checks, pure comedy, shocking tragedy, and carnage that must be read to be believed. There is a reckoning of shortcomings and failure, a strengthening of will, but most important of all, an explosion of love—and the joy and recognition of family. Three Wild Dogs (and the Truth) is a tender, motley, and exquisitely written memoir about the human need for both connection and disorder, a love letter to the animals who bring hilarity and beauty—but also the visceral truth of the natural world—straight to our doors and into our lives and change us forever.
