  America's leading psychic shares heartwarming, tear-jerking tales about the role of our beloved pets on the Other Side. It's said that pets don't have souls. World-famous spiritual guide and psychic Sylvia Browne knows better. Drawing on 40 years of research and stories, she explains how animals "live" after death on the Other Side. She also reveals how animals fit into creation, the purpose of pets in our lives, how we will see our deceased pets in the afterlife, and how living animals see spirits. Pets have personalities, habits, and quirks. They exhibit never-ending loyalty and comic behavior, and they are capable of heroic deeds. We need no longer fear that we will never see them again after death. Featuring moving tales about pets across the country and around the world, All Pets Go to Heaven reassures animal lovers that pets do, indeed, have souls.

  Ceylon is on the brink of change. But young Kairo is at loose ends. School is closed, the government is in disarray, the press is under threat, and the religious right are flexing their muscles. Kairo’s hardworking mother blows off steam at her cha-cha-cha classes; his Trotskyist father grumbles over the state of the nation between his secret bets on horse races in faraway England. All Kairo wants to do is hide in his room and flick through secondhand westerns and superhero comics or escape on his bicycle and daydream.
  
  Then he meets the magnetic teenage Jay, and his whole world is turned inside out.
  
  A budding naturalist and a born rebel, Jay keeps fish and traps birds for an aviary he is building in the garden of his grand home. As Jay guides Kairo from the realm of make-believe into one of hunting guns and fast cars and introduces him to a girl— Niromi—Kairo begins to understand the price of privilege and embarks on a journey of devastating consequence.
  
  Taut and luminous, graceful and wild, Suncatcher is a poignant coming-of-age novel about difficult friendships and sudden awakenings set among the tumult of 1960s Sri Lanka that confirms Gunesekera’s status as one of today’s most lyrical writers.

  A moving account of friendship and discovery on the island of Sicily from the acclaimed travel writer and bestselling author of The Alexandria Quartet.   Despite decades spent writing poetic evocations of the timeless pleasures of life in the Mediterranean, Lawrence Durrell had never set foot on the sea’s largest island: mysterious, impenetrable Sicily. For years his friend Martine begged him to visit her on this sun-kissed paradise, and though he always intended to, life inevitably interfered. It took Martine’s sudden death to finally bring him to the island’s shores. With Martine’s letters in his pocket, Durrell signs up for a tour group, hoping to learn the travel habits of those who aren’t obsessively devoted to island life. As he treks from sight to sight, dizzy with history and culture, Durrell finds echoes of his past lives in Rhodes, Cyprus, and Corfu.
