(Vintage, $36) Stephanie Johnson once revealed her ambition to narrate a novel from the point of view of a dog. The dog in question was to be Kupe s and the journey was to be the legendary adventure that has shaped all our destinies. In Everything Changes, Johnson s 12th novel, the dog (though not Kupe s) at last gets his day.
When Muzza murders the neighbour s blue-eyed Himalayan cat, it soon becomes apparent that the cat s bloody demise is just one in a series of violent and troubling events in the novel and one of a long string of reprehensible acts for which there is little retribution - but little resolution either: every character in this novel drags behind them the dead weight of a life that they have not lived well.

Twizel wasn t built to last, but it ended up becoming one of New Zealand s absolute winners! Twizel was built in the late 1960s as a temporary town to house the workers on the hydroelectric scheme and was meant to be demolished in the early 1980s. The residents fought a lengthy legal battle with the government and the town was eventually handed over to the Mackenzie District Council. Back in the day you could buy a Twizel house for a ridiculously low sum of money, sometimes as cheap as a few thousand. There are stories of people trading Twizel sections during poker games!
