Thanksgiving Tales is an evocative anthology that captures the spirit of gratitude and reflection associated with the festive season. This collection traverses a vast spectrum of literary styles, from the heartwarming to the thought-provoking, creating a tapestry of narratives that are as diverse as they are enriching. Stories brim with the detailed charm of pastoral narratives and the sophisticated tones of American Realism, spotlighting the cultural rituals that define Thanksgiving. Whether through insightful short stories or evocative essays, each piece serves as a quintessential snapshot of Thanksgiving, anchoring the anthology in the historical and cultural context of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The anthology showcases a curation of works by some of the most notable authors of their time, each bringing a unique voice and perspective to the collection. Known for their contributions to American and international literary movements, authors like Harriet Beecher Stowe and Nathaniel Hawthorne offer narratives that weave seamlessly through themes of community, kinship, and gratitude. Other writers, such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Louisa May Alcott, contribute pieces that reflect on societal norms, offering a critique intertwined with holiday traditions. This range of background and experience among the authors enriches the thematic exploration, inviting readers into a multifaceted understanding of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving Tales invites readers into a literary feast, offering a multifarious array of narratives to savor. Ideal for anyone interested in exploring the nuanced interplay of tradition and literature, the anthology provides a unique educational opportunity through its diverse collection of voices.

    Can a life weave along through the same notes and yet come to play forth different sounds? 
     
     
    The Sound of SCH (pronounced S-C-H) is the true story of a journey with mental illness, beautifully told by Danielle Lim from a time when she grew up witnessing her uncle's untold struggle with a crippling mental and social disease, and her mother's difficult role as caregiver. The story takes place between 1961 and 1994, backdropped by a fast-globalising Singapore where stigmatisation of persons afflicted with mental illness nevertheless remains deep-seated. Unflinchingly raw and honest in its portrayal of living with schizophrenia, The Sound of Sch is a moving account of human resiliency and sacrifice in the face of brokenness.

    Against the backdrop of 1979 post-revolution Iran, seven-year-old Mozhgan Mahmoodian struggles to understand the right and wrong in her world. At home, the kitchen wall is the only thing separating her father's two lives - one with her maman, and the other with his second wife. In her dogmatic school, disillusionment threatens to take away Mozhgan's claim to her one superpower: her brain. 
    Determined to create her own path, she decides the best way forward is by doing the opposite of what the adults around her do. But can a young girl reinvent her life with nothing but her own will and judgment? 
    The Ballet of Swallows is a coming of age memoir about how we define our own story and defy the one that's given to us. Navigating grief, depression, and familial trauma, Mozhgan Mahmoodian invites us into the intimate and harrowing world of her childhood.

    At the touch of emotion, the "Dance with Destiny" becomes one of the greatest timeless biographical novel. 
    Real or not real? Real, this incredible story is true and its dramatic twists and turns go far beyond anything we could imagine. For those who love with soul there is no such thing as separation. 
    The Second World War story of the passionate and tragic affair between Betty Bjurström, the beautiful, famous dancer, and Renato Senise, film producer and Allied intelligence agent, has taken on an almost mythical dimension. 
    Like all myths, it is based on conflicting accounts and anecdotes. Accordingly, it would be almost impossible to untangle the final facts in Renato’s complex life — it is an almost novelistic attempt to portray two remarkable characters whose feelings for one another were perhaps too much to bear. 
    Enjoyable reading as living through the passions and adventures of the leading characters as they are drawn into “A Dance with Destiny”.
