  In Sweet Li Jie, two distant worlds converge: Wuhan Province in China and British Guiana.
  Jia Yun, a traveling textile merchant, leaves Wuhan to join the exodus of migrants escaping poverty. Most of them to become indentured labourers in the canefields of Demerara.
  Through heartfelt letters intended for his sweetheart, Li Jie, Jia Yun paints a vivid picture of life for Indians, Africans, and other ethnic groups under British rule during the twilight years of indentureship. Meanwhile, the novel's sections set in China reveal the struggles of rural Wuhan under a crumbling feudal regime.
  "Sweet Li Jie" delves into complex interpersonal relations, from the landlord-servant dynamics in Wuhan to the bond between Jia Yun and his Afro-Guyanese guide, Harris. Amid vulnerability and uncertainty, and the complexities of living in servitude, these characters grapple for personhood and interdependence.

  Howard's End is about three families in England at the beginning of the twentieth century. The three families represent different gradations of the Edwardian middle class: the Wilcoxes, who are rich capitalists with a fortune made in the Colonies; the half-German Schlegel siblings (Margaret, Tibby, and Helen), who represent the intellectual bourgeoisie and have a lot in common with the real-life Bloomsbury Group; and the Basts, a couple who are struggling members of the lower-middle class. The Schlegel sisters try to help the poor Basts and try to make the Wilcoxes less prejudiced.

  Our Ride to Forever

  Sometimes, the best rides are unexpected. 
   
   
   
  Orson Mackenzie didn't want a relationship. Perfect. Neither did I. 
   
   
   
  But what started as a fun ride with no commitment turned into hitching our cars to the same train. Orson needed my insurance. I needed his tax break. So we signed a piece of paper to make me his not-so blushing bride. 
   
   
   
  Forever was never the destination. Until Orson unexpectedly changed course, and we found ourselves on different tracks. Now, it's seven months later, I've lost my apartment and, luckily for me, my husband still has a heart of gold. And a spare bedroom. 
   
   
   
  I can move in with my fake husband, right? How hard can it be? 
   
   
   
  Except I'm having a hard time overlooking how his eyes undress me and the way his voice rasps when he calls me sweetheart. And the more time we spend together, the more I see through his happy-go-lucky exterior. He needs someone in his corner, and for once, maybe I need someone in mine too. 
   
   
   
  I shouldn't fall in love with my husband. But my heart might be thumping to the bumpy tune of forever.
