COMP CLOSED: WIN ‘Baby’ by Annaleese Jochems

This week we have FIVE copies of Baby by New Zealand writer Annaleese Jochems to give away.

This sunburnt psychological thriller of obsession and escape by one of the most exciting new voices in New Zealand fiction has been described by Eleanor Catton as, “Heavenly Creatures for a new generation”.

It tells the story of Cynthia, 21, who is bored and desperately waiting for something big to happen. Her striking fitness instructor, Anahera, is ready to throw in the towel on her job and marriage. With stolen money and a dog in tow, they run away and buy ‘Baby' an old boat docked in a beautiful bay where Cynthia dreams they will live in a state of love. But strange events on an empty island turn their life together in a different direction.

Want to know what happens? Then enter and you could win one of the FIVE copies we have to give away. Simply tell us (in 25 words or fewer) who you would run away with and why.

The five entries we like best will win.

ENTER USING THE FORM BELOW.

Entries close midday Monday 11 February 2019, Sydney/Melbourne time.

GOOD LUCK!
