About Me
- Banafsheh Serov
- I am passionate about the written language. I love writing, reading, reviewing, selling and promoting books. I am an independent bookseller with over 20 years of experience in the book trade. Together with my partners, I actively aim to improve our bookstore's range and services to better reflect the needs of our community and clientele. In 2008, my memoir 'Under A Starless Sky' was published by Hachette, Australia. Since then, I had a short story 'Jasmine Petals' published in 'Stories of Belonging' (Finch) and in 2013, released my first full-length novel, The Russian Tapestry, also by Hachette. I am currently writing my second novel. I strive daily to improve my skills and stretch the limits of my craft. My love of books has naturally lead to reviewing.

All That I Am - Anna Funder
All That I Am
Anna Funder
Ruth Wesemann is an old, crusty German woman living in Sydney. One morning she receives a package containing a tattored notebook from Ernst Toller and memories of a long forgotten past come flooding back to her.
With the rise of Nazi's in Germany, many socialist and left-wing activists are targets of violent attacks. Many flee to England where they try to bring the attention of authorities to the threat of Hitler. Ernest's notebook tells their story with particular attention to Ruth's cousin, the petite but fiercely outspoken Dora. There is little known about the German emegre in England and the dangers they faced speaking against the rise of Hitlerism. Pushed to their limits, some fold, others breakdown, none remain unaffected
All That I am is a richly told tale, with well thought out characters. Immensely satisfying, it holds a moral compass to the reader, challenging with the question: what will you do in the face of injustice or tyranny? Will you turn, will you remain silent or will you speak out?
