Sinopsis

In "The Case for Letitia Carberry, Tish," Mary Roberts Rinehart weaves a captivating narrative that follows the adventurous escapades of the indomitable Letitia Carberry, affectionately known as Tish. Rinehart's distinctive style combines elements of detective fiction and humor, creating a delightful atmosphere where mystery and whimsy intertwine. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, the story reflects the social dynamics and burgeoning independence of women during this transformative period, as Tish, with her audacious spirit, becomes an archetype of the modern female sleuth. Mary Roberts Rinehart, often heralded as the 'American Agatha Christie,' was a prolific writer whose works spanned multiple genres, including mystery and romance. Having experienced significant personal and societal changes in her lifetime, Rinehart drew upon her observations of female agency and societal expectations to create complex, relatable characters. "Tish," initially appearing in a series of short stories, evolved into this full-length novel, displaying Rinehart's keen understanding of her audience's desire for engaging and strong female protagonists. This book is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of humor and mystery, particularly those looking to explore early representations of female empowerment in literature. Rinehart's skillful prose and the endearing charm of Tish will not only entertain but also provoke thoughtful reflection on the evolving roles of women in society.

I Am Like This Only!

Anshumala Singh

Welcome to I Am Like This Only! Before you start flipping through the pages, let me offer a quick word of advice: prepare yourself for a good laugh! This book isn't your typical political drama or an intellectual deep dive into governance. Far from it! It’s a light-hearted romp through the world of politics, filled with quirks, comedy, and the kind of misadventures that can only come from one very unique individual. 
Our main character, Dewan, is unlike anyone you’ve ever encountered. He has his own way of doing things, his own rules (which he often ignores), and an approach to life that is best described as… unconventional. Some might call him eccentric, others might call him unpredictable, but Dewan himself would probably just say, “I am like this only!” 
In this story, nothing is ever quite what you’d expect, and that’s exactly the point. We often take life too seriously, but through Dewan’s escapades, you’ll see that a little humour, a bit of wit, and a touch of madness can make all the difference. 
I’m not going to spoil what’s ahead, but I promise it will keep you smiling, chuckling, and possibly shaking your head in disbelief. This book is a celebration of embracing life’s quirks and laughing at our own imperfections. So, buckle up and get ready for a whirlwind of fun and surprises. 
Enjoy the ride, and remember: life is much more enjoyable when you don’t take it too seriously. 
Warm regards, 
Anshumala Singh
