This powerful novel narrates the story of the Taj on two parallel levels. The first one tells the passionate love story of Shah Jahan and Arjumand. The second recounts the later years of Shah Jahan's reign, the building of the Taj Mahal and the bloody pursuit of the fabulous peacock throne by his sons. In this complex and fascinating book, Murari has written much more than a historical romance. He has skilfully recreated the period against which the story is set: the sensual opulence of the palace and the grinding poverty of seventeenth-century India, the vicissitudes of Shah Jahan's reign and the often bitter conflict between men of different faiths. Praise for Timeri N. Murari: 'Only a masterly historical novelist like Timeri Murari could skate so teasingly near the lip of a volcano. The structure of this novel is as fascinating as the building it describes' -- Bill Aitken, Sunday Observer 'A book of powerful simplicity... ' -- Gloucestershire Echo 'One can read into the symbolic undertones, and find this a complex and disturbing novel' -- Asia Magazine Timeri N. Murari has written novels, as well as screenplays and stage plays. His film, The Square Circle, made Time magazine's top ten best films. He adapted it for the stage and directed it at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre.

She saw blood spurt from her wound. Her mind filled with surrealistic images, reminding her of Salvador Dali paintings that she had studied in college in an art history class. She found herself falling to the floor of St. Faustina Church. The front doors of the church had been blown open by a powerful wind that blew through the church. On the altar there was a huge Eucharistic host from which red and white beams of light radiated. She heard a voice in her mind, and she found herself responding to the voice. "The wind blows cold and freezes the land. Do you not seek warmth?" "Your grace is sufficient for me," Sarah replied. "The sun is setting as the day departs. Do you not seek light?" "The light of your face is sufficient for me." "Your blood flows from you. Do you not seek life?" "Your life sustains me, and I live through your Body and Blood." "So be it. Then live through me, with me, and in me." "So be it," she agreed. The red and white beams of light radiating from the Eucharistic host on the altar became so ...

The Memoirs of Irene Adler: The Irene Adler Trilogy by San Cassimally (Green Okapi Press) 3.8 Stars (23 Reviews)    Price verified 4 hours ago

In the hopes of showing that the character Irene Adler has much more to give than a walk-on role in one Sir Arthur Conan Doyle story, author San Cassimally disguises her as male private investigator Mr. Dai Lernière, and weaves seven exciting cases into one compelling fictional memoir. Upon their return from a stint in Australia, Holmes suggests to Adler that she take on some investigations of her own, and she does just that. Each story provides an engaging, mind-bending mystery in which Adler and her Club des As uncover clues and give power to the powerless in battles against evil, greedy, and conniving foes. Whether the case involves an Irish patriot accused of treason and facing the gallows, the search for a kidnapped toddler, or a royal bank's involvement in underground slave trade, Adler uses her gifts of deduction and wit to solve the mystery and bring wrongdoers to justice. These collected memoirs of Irene Adler deliver the intellectual challenge and sardonic humor that follows in the Sherlock Holmes tradition -- and adds to it a flare only achieved through a woman's touch. Return to 221b Baker Street and experience the Holmesian world expanding with the turn of every page.

Space.Man by Robert F. Phillips (JSMedia) 4.2 Stars (30 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Comedy! Action! Space! Aliens! Dirty Slippers! Space.Man is a hilarious take on the science fiction genre. It combines elements of action and comedy to create a narrative that promises to keep the reader engaged, thinking, and laughing. Set in the near future, Space.Man explores the misadventures of Captain Jordan Taylor of the U.S. Space Corp. A man selected for a mission of isolated deep space travel because of his introversion and preference for being alone. Due to bureaucracy and mismanagement, he is quickly forgotten about and left to fend for himself alone in outer space. Desperate to survive and return to Earth, while also dealing with faulty government equipment built by the lowest bidder, he finds himself immersed in a much larger world where the fate of the galaxy is in his hands. He must join a group of colorful and strange characters that he wants nothing to do with and find a way to bring them all together as a team to stop the spread of an uncontrollable galactic threat. Enemies are made, friendships are developed, and the galaxy is saved through sarcastic comments, dirty slippers, and a healthy dose of pop culture references. Space.Man easily transitions from scientific and technical prose to memorable, laugh out loud comedic action with a few shenanigans thrown in for good measure. Space.Man contains action and humor that will interest the casual science fiction fan or mainstream audience, but also tastefully slips in references and Easter Eggs that will keep the hardcore geek entertained.

Lose the love of a lifetime. As a struggling, 21st century farmer, Kenzie MacMartin knows if she doesn't recover that registered ram that cost her a bundle, her dog won't be the only one howling in the Highlands. And to make matters worse, when she chases that fool sheep through a cave, she discovers a troupe of trespassing re-enactors mucking up her land with some kind of clan skirmish complete with realistic weapons, monstrous warhorses, and a restless herd of Highland cows.

But vengeful clans, a medieval sociopath, and the mesmerizing warrior who draws her in like a bee to sweet clover thwarts that priority at every turn. Her head knows better. Her heart refuses to listen. She misses her family, is ...

Now it belongs to Logan Price, my rebound one-night stand I should loathe because we're competitors. And the kicker? I'm pregnant with his baby. I've hit rock bottom, officially named Kormane's hot mess.

Each time I remind myself to be rational and stick to my goals for life, he ups the challenge and has me eager for more of his brand of fun. It doesn't matter if he can turn obstacle courses and deterring bears into adventures, there's no way I can accept anything more than one time of fun. Or is there? Zeke Something about Evie has pulled me in from the moment we met, but now that we're together at camp, I'm stuck, struggling to win her over.

Everything We Are (Heart Of The Canyon Book 2) by Jacie Middlemann 4.6 Stars (38 Reviews)    Price verified 7 hours ago

Jake wants to see for himself whether his mother is having a mid-life crisis or a later-in-life adventure. He's betting on the second. Mallie's oldest son checked up on her not long after she returned to the canyon and the home she grew up in... the home where she raised her children until a tragedy forced her to make the difficult decision to leave. Now her youngest son is on his way... Jake Westin is returning to the canyon where he grew up. It's been ten years since the last time he was there. He can still vividly remember the circumstances that led to his family's departure all those years ago. It wasn't something he thought of often. Who would want to? Just as much as he wanted to see how his mother was doing since her return to the canyon he was also looking forward to seeing Lizzie. When he was a child the two of them had gone on all kinds of quests together for lizards and anything else that moved, searched for the buried treasure Lizzie swore was to be found somewhere in the canyon, and spent hours staring at the stars and picking out those that made up constellations of their own making. He was also curious about his mother's other neighbor in their small corner of the canyon. Unlike Lizzie who had walked away from the glitter and fame of the city that was spread out below the canyon, Clay Tobin was just beginning to make his mark there according to both of his sisters. And he wanted to talk to his mother... he needed to hear her reasons for coming back after all these years instead of taking his brother and sister's assumptions as gospel. More importantly... he wanted to understand. Years ago Mallie Westin left her home because she felt she had no choice. Now years later, the choice is hers. The Heart of the Canyon series is about the strength of family, the endurance of friendship, and the unwavering and unconditional longing for home... and all it means. Everything We Are is the second in the series... can be read alone but the series is best ...
