  • The Kitty Party Sanyasins
    2023/08/03

    ‘We’ll meet on the last Saturday of every month, whenever our schedules permit. Just the five of us. Brunch. Either at our houses or breakfast joints or our clubs. Catch up on our lives. Meditate together a bit. Tell each other feel-good stories. How does that sound?’ Sounds perfect-but the outcome can be unforeseen. A much-honored dancing diva meditates herself into a passionate love affair with the thirty-year-old son of her best friend. The mighty Garuda has to fly down from the legends to impart sense to some troubled teens. A Zen disciple runs frenziedly through the forest with a woman inside his head while a son listens in shock as his mother reveals babyhood trauma of molestation, and sage Durbasha steps out of the Mahabharat to give Ginny, the Crystal Nova ashramite from Los Angeles, a curse within a blessing. Through this crowd wanders Alison Jordan, the Indophile with golden hair and green eyes. She is an excellent raconteur, has a penchant for quality tea, and is on a Himalayan quest for salvation and a path to reach out to a frozen Ice King, who has collected thousands of keys but has lost all the locks. Join the Kitty Party Sanyasins on their quest for a happier life. A charming first novel that will make you both laugh and cry as it uses ancient stories to tell new ones.

  • The Ivory Throne
    2023/07/27

    In 1498, when Vasco da Gama set foot in Kerala looking for Christians and spices, he unleashed a wave of political fury that would topple local powers like a house of cards. The cosmopolitan fabric of a vibrant trading society - with its Jewish and Arab merchants, Chinese pirate heroes, and masterful Hindu Zamorins - was ripped apart, heralding an age of violence and bloodshed. One prince, however, emerged triumphant from this descent into chaos. Shrewdly marrying Western arms to Eastern strategy, Martanda Varma consecrated the dominion of Travancore, destined to become one of the most dutiful pillars of the British Raj. What followed was two centuries of internecine conflict in one of India's premier princely states, culminating in a dynastic feud between two sisters battling to steer the fortunes of their house on the eve of Independence. Manu S. Pillai's retelling of this sprawling saga focuses on the remarkable life and work of Sethu Lakshmi Bayi, the last - and forgotten - queen of the House of Travancore. The supporting cast includes the flamboyant painter Raja Ravi Varma and his wrathful wife, scheming matriarchs of 'violent, profligate and sordid' character, wife-swapping court favorites, vigilant English agents, quarreling consorts, and lustful kings. Extensively researched and vividly rendered, The Ivory Throne conjures up a dramatic world of political intrigues and factions, black magic and conspiracies, crafty ceremonies, and splendorous temple treasures, all harnessed in a tragic contest for power and authority in the age of empire.

  • The Hour Before Dawn
    2023/07/20

    Four weeks before the Babri Masjid is demolished, Delhi wakes up to accounts of India’s Secret History. Appearing daily as tantalizing pamphlets on the walls of the city’s residential neighborhoods, Secret History claims to reveal India’s suppressed past. Rhetorical and rhythmic, dark and depressing, violent and vengeful – are these accounts true or fictional? Who writes the Secret History? These questions do not engage Rasheed Halim, who is grappling with the possibility of imminent death and cancer recurrence. He becomes a recluse, waiting to die, popping tranquilizers to get through his days. Not even a night of rioting, in which not a drop of blood is spilled, shakes him out of his melancholy. In desperation, he turns to a helpline, where a mysterious voice kindles in him the desire to live and join a band of people whose mission it is to identify the author of Secret History. The search takes Rasheed into a world where madness masquerades as rationality, suspicion is the impulse of human action, and politics and history are tools of torment forged in the fire of personal suffering. Is redemption possible in this world? What does it mean to return to lost thoughts? Does Rasheed encounter the author of Secret History? Thought-provoking and suspenseful, The Hour Before Dawn is the remarkable story of a terminally ill man’s search for meaning and his eventual quest to understand how deep the lust for blood runs.
