Ash Barty over Angela’s Ashes: why we’ll likely want to read Prince Harry's Spare
the streaming service’s most popular documentary yetThe 416-page book, published by Penguin Random House, comes on the back of a host of celebrity memoirs launched in the latter months of 2022, which are all predicted to sell well.Credit:Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story,The lead-up to Prince Harry’s memoir has been a whirlwind following the Netflix special, said Meredith Drake, category manager for books at Big W.
Anna MacDonald, owner of Paperback Bookshop in Melbourne, says customers are interested in memoirs that tell them something about history and society.Head of Merchandise at Booktopia, Joanna Lewin, similarly said that interest in Harry’s book had gained momentum. “The best-selling memoir this Christmas was Ash Barty, and to me, that’s just pure aspiration to think, ‘how can I be a little bit more like Ash Barty?’. But then I think it’s very different with someone like Prince Harry. That’s just sheer curiosity and wanting to pull back the curtain on something as mysterious as the royal family.”The royals and foreign celebrities aside, Australians have long had a love affair with locally produced memoirs, from rock stars to actors and sporting legends.
“It’s that simple — and if the author is willing to be honest, open, that creates a genuine connection with their reader that almost certainly puts the book on the bestseller list.
