Sinopsis

This moving and unforgettable novel, ‘Journey to Jaffna’, is a powerful exploration of the conflicting ties of family and of the heart. Set in London, Russia and Sri Lanka, this book will find its way into your own heart. Param grew up in a strict Tamil family in Sri Lanka, but broke away from them to study in London. Even the violence facing Tamils back home could not affect the new life he built for himself with his English wife, Mary and their daughter. Now though, it is 1979, his father is dying and it is Param’s duty to make the journey back to Jaffna. As Param learns of the horrors his family and his ex-girlfriend Karthiga have endured, he faces his own struggle. Does he owe it to them to come back to Sri Lanka, or should his loyalties now lie with his English family? Or does Liz, the English/American woman he met on his long, disrupted journey, offer a way out?

    Each of the ten stories in Have Mercy on Us is an illuminating window into a human life. In the way of all the best fiction, these stories enlarge our understanding of what it means to be alive, with characters who leap off the page. In this award-winning collection, the people are varied in age, race, and origin. An old man travels to a village in Kenya in an attempt to bring his estranged son home; against her mother’s wishes, a young woman attends the funeral of the father she never met, hoping to forge a relationship with her eight siblings; a woman long married to a renowned artist whose infidelity is nearly blatant, takes things into her own hands in a brilliantly realized moment of independence; in an imagined, loving portrait, the writer Zora Neale Hurston is shown near the end of her life in 1948, working as a maid in a motel in Ft. Pierce, Florida. Spare, romantic without being sentimental, these powerful stories are, above all, about love, and the impossible and remarkable ways we yearn for connection. Cupolo’s writing is rich with vision, insight and grace—cause for celebration.

    When a foreign worker is found dead in a Singapore back street, nobody cares. The police dismiss it as just another underclass slaying until more victims appear, all killed with the same weapon. Singapore suddenly faces its first serial killer in decades, and the authorities are desperate. In desperation, they turn to the one man they despise almost as much as the killer himself: Detective Inspector Stanley Low. His career is in ruins, his bipolar disorder is barely under control, and he's as angry and unrepentant as ever. But he's also the only detective capable of understanding what drives this murderer. Racing against time, Low must navigate Singapore's stark income divide, where even death discriminates between rich and poor.

    This king wanted a distraction, and he found the perfect one hiding on his ship! 
    Naga-alien King Gravon expected a solitary journey through the cosmos, not a stowaway that rocked him to his core. Yet he's faced with Azha—a human slave who used his ship to flee her masters. Now he is more than happy to offer her passage and bring her home with him . . . forever. 
    King Gravon knows a secret Azha doesn't. She's his mate, and he's not willing to let her go. Even if she is human and he's an alien. 
    When Azha falls ill, Gravon fears he put her in danger by taking her as his mate. Not to mention that as their crisis grows more dire, his people reject having a human as their queen. Gravon must find a way to save his mate and his people before it's too late. 
    Or is it already?
