Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 16-year-old PULLAMMA is too dark-skinned to have dreams. For this reason, she's obliged her old-fashioned grandmother by not doing well in school. She’s also resigned to remaining unwed; with three girls in the family, there’s simply not enough dowry to go around. Then a wedding alliance arrives for her oldest sister—a fair-skinned beauty. There's great rejoicing in their household. And why not? The prospective father-in-law is the right-hand man of an important politician. As Pullamma helps ready the house for the bride-viewing—by washing the cow, by stringing flowers along doorways—she prays for the alliance to go through. Then something happens. Something so inconceivable, it will shape Pullamma's future in ways even the local soothsayer couldn’t have foretold. Tell A Thousand Lies is a sometimes sassy, sometimes sad but, ultimately, realistic look at how superstition, and the colour of a girl's skin, rules India's hinterlands. ◆ Shortlisted for the Tibor Jones South Asia Prize ◆ Tell A Thousand Lies is one of our five favourite tales from India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A son confronts the sins of his father in this electrifying page-turner from the New York Times–bestselling author of Whippoorwill. The product and heir of old money, Anson Poe hides behind a handsome face as he wreaks havoc upon those around him—his only goal is to satisfy his own devious desires. Nothing touches his heart but power and greed; not the woman he married or the four children they share. Brendan Poe shares his father’s stunning looks, but not his manner. He can only try to live down the shame, doing his best to stay out of Anson’s world of crime . . . until one hot Louisiana summer he can no longer look away. When the women who matter most in Brendan’s world become pawns in Anson’s need for revenge, Brendan strikes back with a blinding rage, leaving his father with two options: fight or flight. A powerful story about what we’ll do to protect those we love, A Thousand Lies will keep you up long after you finish the last page.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “What a gorgeous, heartbreaking novel.”—Roxane Gay A necessary and exciting addition to both the Sri Lankan-American and LGBTQ canons, SJ Sindu's debut novel offers a moving and sharply rendered exploration of friendship, family, love, and loss. Lucky and her husband, Krishna, are gay. They present an illusion of marital bliss to their conservative Sri Lankan–American families, while each dates on the side. It’s not ideal, but for Lucky, it seems to be working. She goes out dancing, she drinks a bit, she makes ends meet by doing digital art on commission. But when Lucky’s grandmother has a nasty fall, Lucky returns to her childhood home and unexpectedly reconnects with her former best friend and first lover, Nisha, who is preparing for her own arranged wedding with a man she’s never met. As the connection between the two women is rekindled, Lucky tries to save Nisha from entering a marriage based on a lie. But does Nisha really want to be saved? And after a decade’s worth of lying, can Lucky break free of her own circumstances and build a new life? Is she willing to walk away from all that she values about her parents and community to live in a new truth? As Lucky—an outsider no matter what choices she makes—is pushed to the breaking point, Marriage of a Thousand Lies offers a vivid exploration of a life lived at a complex intersection of race, sexuality, and nationality. The result is a profoundly American debut novel shot through with humor and loss, a story of love, family, and the truths that define us all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's often said that a picture paints a thousand words... but what if every single one is a lie? In 1987, 36-year-old Sheila Shand was given a suspended sentence for killing her father. At her trial, it emerged that she and her mother and sister had been forced to shield brutal sadist Leslie Shand while he subjected them to a reign of terror, daily beatings and sexual abuse. Years later, journalist Amy Vaughan discovers a newspaper cutting about the Shand case while clearing out her dead mother's flat. Concluding that they are related, she decides to visit Sheila's mother Iris, who is in a care home. Amy is curious about the elderly woman who pores endlessly over an album of family snaps because she has known, from an early age, that photographs tell lies. Her own mother, who suffered from Munchausen's Syndrome By Proxy, used snaps of the daughter she'd made sick to try and keep the affections of Amy's father, a charismatic but elusive conman. When she begins to investigate the Shand case, Amy realises that there is more to the murder of Leslie than the police ever unearthed, including two long-buried skeletons in woods near the family's home...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning, #1 New York Times bestselling author whom USA TODAY calls a “master of the page-turner,” comes the spectacular story of a woman’s complex quest to form a family. Every life has a soundtrack. All you have to do is listen. Music has set the tone for most of Zoe Baxter’s life. There’s the melody that reminds her of the summer she spent rubbing baby oil on her stomach in pursuit of the perfect tan. A dance beat that makes her think of using a fake ID to slip into a nightclub. A dirge that marked the years she spent trying to get pregnant. For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love. In the aftermath of a series of personal tragedies, Zoe throws herself into her career as a music therapist. When an unexpected friendship slowly blossoms into love, she makes plans for a new life, but to her shock and inevitable rage, some people—even those she loves and trusts most—don’t want that to happen. Sing You Home is about identity, love, marriage, and parenthood. It’s about people wanting to do the right thing for the greater good, even as they work to fulfill their own personal desires and dreams. And it’s about what happens when the outside world brutally calls into question the very thing closest to our hearts: family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was in 1965 after retirement that I started writing my autobiography, which was published in 2009. The excellent feedback I got for my book and my style of writing made me start writing on a variety of topics that affect people on a day-to-day basis. Some stories compared the situations between now and the olden/golden days .My Travelogue on 106 Divya Desams (106 Tirupathis) was published in the Open Page of the Hindu issue dated 26th June 2011. The 200 odd mails I got from readers of the Hindu from all over the world (apart from scores of phone calls and SMS messages) made me realise that I had arrived as a writer. Looking at the number of articles I had written in three years, a few friends suggested that I bring out a collection of them in book form. Though the Internet offers enough opportunities to reach a wider audience, there’s nothing like a printed book in your hands. Judging by the growing popularity of printed books by Indian authors in English, it is clear that there is still a good demand for printed books. So here I am, with my second book, a collection of articles on topics with which you can relate to and relax with. You can open it at any page, or choose any topic and read. If nothing else I promise you a good `time pass`

The editor gathers valuable pieces by the prominent authors like Washington Irving, Benjamin Franklin, Mark Twain and many more. It was compiled at the turn of the 19th and 20th century and its aim was to bring relaxing notes into the craze for moral seriousness in all literature, which was characteristic of that period.
