Sinopse

Bournebridge over Troubled Waters’ is a remarkable and unforgettable book. It’s the year 2030 in Bourne Valley town, where the river flows into the English Channel. Hannah and Andy have returned from their secret wedding and honeymoon. It’s a secret because Andy is the local Catholic priest. They return to some exciting news and begin a new adventure running a large dilapidated old vicarage up river in Bournebridge. Continuing with their climate-friendly enterprise development work, that had won Bourne Valley the National Emerald Award, they assemble a motley group of tenants for the vicarage to help them, including farm workers, an ex-professional rugby player, a lawyer and a retired bishop. It’s a roller coaster journey for the next year with community strife and some climate extremes… including a prolonged severe flood. Among the highs are the beginnings of new romances, businesses and sporting successes. This is a story of love and friendship as well as being a fascinating insight into the impact of climate change action and what you can achieve if your passion prevails.

    'Death Comes to Matheran is a page-turner. I started reading it on Saturday afternoon (big mistake), and when I surfaced, it was Monday, Tara and Sameer were my friends, and I knew a lot more about mean girls than is good for me.' -- Jerry Pinto, author of Em and the Big Hoom, The Education of Yuri and Murder in Mahim 
     
    On a rainy night in 2012, Rakesh Jhaveri fell to his death from a slippery hillside in Matheran. Despite the many loose ends, the police closed the case as a tragic accident. 
    Eleven years later, Tara Jhaveri is furious-at her father for dying so unnecessarily, at her mother for suffering from partial amnesia, and at her childhood friends for shutting her out. 
    But when her mother's unreliable memory flickers to life, Tara finds herself investigating what really happened in Matheran. Helping her is a mysterious ally who has been quietly recording the recollections of the other people in Matheran that fateful night-Rakesh Jhaveri's closest friends. 
    With old secrets threatening to surface, Tara must rely on her own wits and sift through a tangle of half-truths and fractured memories to piece together the past-before another tragedy unfolds.

    A richly detailed, brilliantly woven debut collection about the lives and lore of one Black family 
     
    Shannon Sanders’s sparkling debut brings us into the company of the Collins family and their acquaintances as they meet, bicker, compete, celebrate, worry, keep and reveal secrets, build lives and careers, and endure. Moving from Atlantic City to New York to DC, from the 1960s to the 2000s, from law students to drag performers to violinists to matriarchs, Company tells a multifaceted, multigenerational saga in thirteen stories. 
     
    Each piece includes a moment when a guest arrives at someone’s home. In “The Good, Good Men,” two brothers reunite to oust a “deadbeat” boyfriend from their mother’s house. In “The Everest Society,” the brothers’ sister anxiously prepares for a home visit from a social worker before adopting a child. In “Birds of Paradise,” their aunt, newly promoted to university provost, navigates a minefield of microaggressions at her own welcome party. And in the haunting title story, the provost’s sister finds her solitary life disrupted when her late sister’s daughter comes calling. 
     
    These are stories about intimacy, societal and familial obligations, and the ways inheritances shape our fates. Buoyant, somber, sharp, and affectionate, this collection announces a remarkable new voice in fiction.

    A  favorite destination—even for New Yorkers—is the venerable Metropolitan  Museum of Art. On this particular day, “the Met,” as generally known, experiences an unusually large number of visitors. Visitors have their choice of viewing over two million works of art spanning five millennia of cultures worldwide. But some among them are up to something more sinister.
     
    At one point, the  Met’s surveillance cameras’ lenses capture “a mysterious-looking couple” amid the many visitors strolling about the many galleries. The pair is dripping wet in their matching taupe Burberry trench coats. Just  as the two of them walk past Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
     a masterpiece of Marc Chagall, a large tourist group—who, oddly enough,  all are wearing distinctive red-and-white-striped vinyl raincoats—converges around them. But it is what happens next that baffles the museum’s surveillance crew. After “the mysterious-looking couple” pulls off their prank, they and the large tourist group walk out  of that particular camera’s range, becoming submerged elsewhere in the interminable galleries of the gigantic museum.
     
    But when a docent notices “something strange” with Chagall’s Soleil dans le Ciel de Saint-Paul,
     in short order, the museum-goers inside the Chagall gallery hear “High Alert!” and watch in horror as a heavy metal grille drops down from the ceiling to the floor, effectively locking them inside the gallery.
     
    And thus began what later came to be called The Mysterious Affair at the Met.
