Summary

Harold Bindloss's "The Impostor" is a riveting narrative that delves deep into the complexities of identity, societal expectations, and the human condition. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Canada, the novel explores the themes of deception and self-discovery through the tumultuous life of its protagonist, who grapples with personal and moral dilemmas in a world that often values appearances over authenticity. Bindloss's literary style, characterized by vivid descriptions and incisive character studies, reflects the naturalistic trends of his time while also engaging with social realism, providing readers with a profound commentary on the struggles of the individual against societal norms. Harold Bindloss, a Canadian author known for his evocative portrayals of the Canadian landscape and its people, draws from his own life experiences as a settler and traveler. These encounters fueled his exploration of themes such as alienation and the desire for belonging, which resonate throughout "The Impostor." His background in agriculture and his keen observation of human character contributed to the depth and authenticity of the novel's characters, making their struggles feel both universal and personal. This compelling work is highly recommended for readers who appreciate thought-provoking literature that challenges perceptions of self and reality. "The Impostor" not only entertains but also invites introspection and dialogue, making it a valuable addition to any literary collection.

    Synopsis– Last Train to Dhanushkodi 
    Last Train to Dhanushkodi is a gripping thriller set against the haunting backdrop of one of India’s most tragic natural disasters. On a stormy night in 1964, a passenger train bound for the island town of Dhanushkodi departs amidst rising winds and restless tides. As the journey unfolds, passengers sense something ominous in the air — whispers of an approaching cyclone, a sense of destiny closing in. When a monstrous tidal wave strikes, the line between life and death blurs, and the island city is swallowed by the sea. Through vivid narration and emotional depth, this audiobook captures the courage, fear, and final moments of those aboard the ill-fated train — the last one ever to reach Dhanushkodi. A story of nature’s fury, human spirit, and fate’s cruel twist, Last Train to Dhanushkodi will stay with listeners long after the final wave falls silent.

    In a world where shadows loom larger than life, Slim Callaghan, private detective, finds himself ensnared in a web more tangled than any he's encountered before. "They Never Say When" thrusts Callaghan into the murky depths of deception and greed, courtesy of a client whose allure is as dangerous as the secret she harbours. 
    When Mrs. Paula Denys walks into his office, her request is anything but ordinary: she's paid a man to steal the priceless Denys Coronet from her own husband's safe, but the deal has soured into blackmail. Callaghan, with his unshakable resolve, takes on the case, stepping into a quagmire of treachery that tests even his seasoned instincts. 
    As Callaghan unravels the twisted skein, securing the coronet for his client, he's blindsided by the realisation that Mrs. Denys's intentions might be far from innocent. Suddenly, the hunter becomes the hunted in a game of cat and mouse that could cost Callaghan more than he's willing to pay. 
    Determined to uncover the truth, Callaghan plunges deeper, but in the shadows of a case that's dubious even by his standards, one question looms: will his insatiable curiosity be his downfall? 
    Set against the backdrop of 1944, They Never Say When is a classic tale of intrigue and suspense that harks back to the golden age of detective fiction. With every turn of the page, Slim Callaghan reminds us that in the gritty underbelly of crime and betrayal, they never say when the game is up.
