Sinopse

When stargazer and amateur astronomer Neville Garth and his wife Lois decide to leave Sussex and retire to Spain for health reasons, the impact on the life of their daughter Nell and her growing family is enormous. As events unfold, can she mend the failing relationship with her mother, support her beloved father through the worst dilemma of his life and later help her own daughter through an agonizing trauma, all at a distance? And when faced with her greatest predicament yet, can Nell follow her conscience and overcome her doubts without sacrificing her own ambitions?
And in Ireland, how will Kathleen react to unexpected opportunities which affect not only her own life chances but those of the family to which she has become inextricably linked?
How will Bronte, at the age of fourteen recover from a cruel and spiteful episode which threatens her future?
Two families - poles apart - yet joined by the merest chance. Across several generations, the complexities of the various relationships are tested with surprising results.
Set against the background of Sussex, southwest Ireland and Spain, the story follows members of both families as they face unexpected challenges and the toughest of choices through tragedy, success, exploitation and personal triumphs, none of which could have been foretold in the stars.

    The Meghadhuta also known as Meghasandesam is one of the beautiful works of Kalidasa. It is a poem in Sanskrit Language consisting of 117 verses. It is actually one of a few minor compositions of Kalidasa. Being one of the greatest poets of Sanskrit Literature, he has produced epics like the Raghuvamsa Mahakavya and Kumarasambhavam and dramas like Abigyana Sakuntalam. 
    The ideas contained in this poem is simple but romantic. Alaka is a mountain in the Himalayas. The god of wealth, Kubera is the king of this place. He has a group of divine attendants working for him. These attendants are known as Yakshas. One of these Yakshas was very much smitten and obsessed with his wife. Hence, he ignored his duties. Kubera, therefore, cursed him and banished him into the woods on planet Earth. The Yaksha came to a mountainous place called Ramagiri named after Lord Rama near the present state of Chattisgarh in India and was residing in an ashram there. 
    The Yaksha spent several months on the mountain. Thoroughly dejected, the love-lorn Yaksha keeps thinking about his wife. His wife also keeps thinking about him all day and all night. It is the time of monsoon. The Yaksha sees a rain cloud passing by. He requests the cloud to carry a message to his wife. The Yaksha then starts to describe the route that the cloud should take to meet his lover. This forms the crux of the verses of this poem. 
    The works of Kalidasa are synonymous with the beauty of nature, lyrical poetry, dramatic stories, great heroes and sensuous heroines. The Meghadhuta focusses mainly on sensual love and the beauty of nature. Kalidasa’s genius lies in making these two subjects flow into each other in this work. For example, Kalidasa picturises the rivers as sensuous women, and he advises his friend namely the cloud to take interest in the rivers along the way on his journey from the plains to Alaka.

    Tyger: A Story of Survival in the Jungle" by Michael James is a thriller that takes you dives deep into the heart of the jungle, where every decision can mean life or death. 
     Five friends, returning from a climb in the Himalayas, are trapped in cabin by a 400 pound Bengal tiger.  The choices the characters are forced to make under pressure, ratchets up the tension to nail-biting levels. Every choice, from deciding their travel routes to handling encounters with the tiger, feels weighty and fraught with potential danger. 
     What makes "Tyger" stand out is not just the external struggle for survival, but the internal conflicts that arise. As the characters navigate the treacherous jungle, their decisions often reflect their deepest fears and values, adding a psychological depth to the physical challenges they face. The overall pacing successfully builds suspense as readers are left wondering what consequences the characters will face next. 
     By turns dramatic and poetic, tender and terrifying, TYGER takes us on an unforgettable trek. The author skillfully forces us to confront our most basic fears, see how our beliefs dictate our choices, and question what we owe to both our fellow humans and the endangered, yet murderously dangerous, Tiger.
