  • THE LION WOMEN OF TEHRAN

    From the nationally bestselling author of the “powerful, heartbreaking” (Shelf Awareness) The Stationery Shop, a heartfelt, epic new novel of friendship, betrayal, and redemption set against three transformative decades in Tehran, Iran.
    In 1950s Tehran, seven-year-old Ellie lives in grand comfort until the untimely death of her father, forcing Ellie and her mother to move to a tiny home downtown. Lonely and bearing the brunt of her mother’s endless grievances, Ellie dreams of a friend to alleviate her isolation.

    Luckily, on the first day of school, she meets Homa, a kind, passionate girl with a brave and irrepressible spirit. Together, the two girls play games, learn to cook in the stone kitchen of Homa’s warm home, wander through the colorful stalls of the Grand Bazaar, and share their ambitions of becoming “lion women.”

    However, their happiness is disrupted when Ellie and her mother are allowed to return to their previous bourgeois life. Now a popular student at the best girls’ high school in Iran, Ellie’s memories of Homa begin to fade. Years later, however, her sudden reappearance in Ellie’s privileged world alters the course of both of their lives.

  • THE LADY OF SOHANBELA

    The principal character, Kamila, is the sole heir to the hereditary seat of a Sufi Saint located in a riverine area in the rural hinterland of Pakistan. Her liberal outlook and lifestyle are the outcomes of an urban upbringing and Westernized academics. The final wish of her long-suffering mother that she observe familial duties by maintaining and upholding the centuries-old family shrine that has a subcontinental following, requires Kamila to marry the leading landowner of the region. The tensions and conflicts inherent in such a situation are the well-springs of the narrative which plays out against European, American, and Pakistani backdrops.

  • PEARLS AND SHARDS

    “Iftikhar Malik’s Pearls and Shards seeks to redefine the genre by bringing together multiple campuses from various continents. Malik’s novel is not about financial constraints; he weaves together characters that belong to diverse backgrounds and are brought together by the campus which is as material as it is symbolic. Saleem Awan, the protagonist, moves around various campus worlds which are multicultural and multi-dimensional. He is a child of local and historical cultures, and his independent mind does not allow him to settle down in one place and [form a lasting] relationship because his universal personality would not afford him a single identity. After watching various actions on campuses across the continents, the reader realizes that there may not be a line of demarcation between the campus and the world ‘out there’. A relationship is perhaps the greatest asset one can possess, at the same time, it is a delicate balance that can come apart unless cherished and protected. Pearls and Shards is a unique work in its ambition and scope. It certainly has set new standards in the genre.” Abbas Zaidi, Sydney, Academic at the University of New South Wales; author of ‘The Infidels of Mecca’.
    “In Pearls and Shards, Iftikhar Malik, a distinguished academic, creates a rich, vivid tale that moves between the first and third-person narratives of a Pakistani scholar, Saleem, and his two American colleagues Natasha and Nadine. Spanning family relationships, personal friendships, and university life in Pakistan, Britain, America, and Japan, the novel makes an important comment on today’s universalism through personal encounters, the exchange of ideas, and the engagement with significant texts, alongside issues of identity and belonging.” Muneeza Shamsie, author of ‘Hybrid Tapestries’ and editor of ‘A Dragonfly in the Sun’.
    “An extraordinarily wide-ranging novel that takes us from Pakistan to Britain to the US to Japan. Pearls and Shards offer remarkable insight into lives that traverse cultures.” Gavin Cologne-Brookes, Lacock & Paris: Professor-Emeritus at Bath Spa University; author of `American Lonesome: The Work of Bruce Springsteen’.

    Laura has spent most of her life being judged. She’s seen as hot-tempered, troubled, a loner. Some even call her dangerous.

    Miriam knows that just because Laura is witnessed leaving the scene of a horrific murder with blood on her clothes, that doesn’t mean she’s a killer. Bitter experience has taught her how easy it is to get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

    Carla is reeling from the brutal murder of her nephew. She trusts no one: good people are capable of terrible deeds. But how far will she go to find peace?

    Innocent or guilty, everyone is damaged. Some are damaged enough to kill.

  • THE ZANZIBAR WIFE

    Set both in Oman and on the Tanzanian island of Zanzibar, The Zanzibar Wife is the story of three different women, each at a turning point in her life . . .
    Oman. The ancient land of frankincense, wind-swept deserts, craggy mountaintops and turquoise seas. A place where tales of evil spirits and eerie phenomena abound.
    Into this magical nation come three remarkable women, each facing a crossroad in her life.
    Rachel, a troubled American war photographer who is struggling to shed the trauma of her career for a simpler, gentler life. Now she has once again picked up her camera and is headed to Oman to cover a quite different story – for a glossy travel magazine.
    Ariana Khan, a bubbly British woman struggling to keep up with the glitz of Dubai and ready to give up on love. She has rashly volunteered as Rachel’s ‘fixer’, a job she’s never heard of in a country she knows nothing about.
    And Miza, a young woman living far from her beloved homeland of Zanzibar. As the second wife of Tariq, an Omani man, she remains a secret from his terrifying ‘other’ wife, Maryam. Until one day, when Tariq fails to come home . . .
    As the three women journey together across this weird and wonderful land, they are forced to confront their darkest fears and their deepest wishes. Because here in Oman, things aren’t always what they appear to be . . .

    Darwin is a down-on-his-luck gravedigger, newly arrived in the city of Port Angeles to seek his fortune, young and beautiful and lost. Estranged from his mother, he is convinced that the father he never met may be waiting for him somewhere amid these bustling streets. Meanwhile in an old house on a hill, Yejide’s mother is dying.

  • FIND ME

    In this spellbinding exploration of the varieties of love, the author of the worldwide bestseller Call Me by Your Name revisits its complex and beguiling characters decades after their first meeting. No novel in recent memory has spoken more movingly to contemporary readers about the nature of love than André Aciman’s haunting Call Me by Your Name. First published in 2007, it was hailed as “a love letter, an invocation . . . an exceptionally beautiful book” (Stacey D’Erasmo, The New York Times Book Review). Nearly three quarters of a million copies have been sold, and the book became a much-loved, Academy Award-winning film starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Elio and Armie Hammer as Oliver, the graduate student with whom he falls in love. In Find Me, Aciman shows us Elio’s father, Samuel, on a trip from Florence to Rome to visit Elio, who has become a gifted classical pianist. A chance encounter on the train with a beautiful young woman upends Sami’s plans and changes his life forever. Elio soon moves to Paris, where he, too, has a consequential affair, while Oliver, now a New England college professor with a family, suddenly finds himself contemplating a return trip across the Atlantic. Aciman is a master of sensibility, of the intimate details and the emotional nuances that are the substance of passion. Find Me brings us back inside the magic circle of one of our greatest contemporary romances to ask if, in fact, true love ever dies.

  • THE STARLESS SEA

    Are you lost or are you exploring?

    When Zachary Rawlins stumbles across a strange book hidden in his university library it leads him on a quest unlike any other. Its pages entrance him with their tales of lovelorn prisoners, lost cities and nameless acolytes, but they also contain something impossible: a recollection from his own childhood.

    Determined to solve the puzzle of the book, Zachary follows the clues he finds on the cover – a bee, a key and a sword. They guide him to a masquerade ball, to a dangerous secret club, and finally through a magical doorway created by the fierce and mysterious Mirabel. This door leads to a subterranean labyrinth filled with stories, hidden far beneath the surface of the earth.

    When the labyrinth is threatened, Zachary must race with Mirabel, and Dorian, a handsome barefoot man with shifting alliances, through its twisting tunnels and crowded ballrooms, searching for the end of his story.

    You are invited to join Zachary on the starless sea: the home of storytellers, story-lovers and those who will protect our stories at all costs.
