The Women Who Forgot to Invent Facebook and Other Stories by Nisha Susan
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 436 KB
Overview: A classical musician finds a prince in a chat room. Three dancers in Kochi mastermind their sex lives over email. A young wife in Mumbai becomes obsessed with a dead woman’s online relics. Strange (and familiar) troll wars drag at a writer’s peace of mind. Her daughter’s cellphone conversations deeply worry a cook in Delhi. A young mother finds a job monitoring disturbing content for a social media company.

The stories in this dazzling debut collection tap into the rich vein of love, violence and intimacy that technology, particularly the Internet, has brought to the lives of Indians over the last two decades. Two decades that transformed India’s digital landscape, where would-be lovers went from cooing into cordless phones to swiping right on cellphones.

Whimsical in its telling and brutal in its probing of the human mind, these stories breathe unexpected life into the dark and joyful corners of a country learning to relish and resist globalisation.

The Comfort Bearer by Cathy L. Patrenos
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 351 KB
Overview: I will not be beautiful for you.

On the brink of WWII, sixteen-year-old Soon Ja is ensnared into the largest human trafficking scheme of the 20th century. She is taken to Manchuria by trickery from her home in occupied Korea and forced to become a comfort woman, a sex slave for members of the Imperial Japanese Army.

Taken from comfort station to comfort station, Soon Ja suffers terribly. She desperately tries to deal with the daily physical and mental torment of her unbearable situation. She struggles to survive by any means possible, which includes retaliating against her captors by spying on behalf of anti-Japanese resistance fighters. This gives her a renewed purpose that quickly fades once the resistance is defeated.

As the war progresses and years pass, Soon Ja’s will to survive waxes and wanes as she surmounts one intolerable situation after another, bringing her the strength and courage that would shape the rest of her life.

A compelling story of strength, perseverance, and the will to survive.

Watchmen of Rome (Carbo of Rome #1):
Rome, AD 27
Gaius Valerius Carbo has returned to the heart of the Empire after 25 years serving in the legions. He just wants to retire in peace. But his friends are gone, his family are dead, and his home now belongs to someone else. When local thugs attack the tavern where he is resting, he finds himself caught up in the fight, and inadvertently becomes the new owner of the building – and the enemies that come with it. His world is turned upside down when he is confronted with a face from his past. He had sworn to protect and look after his childhood friend Rufa after her father died alongside him in battle. But now she has been sold into slavery, and is on the run from her mistress, Elissa. Elissa is a powerful priestess who is organising a cult to try and destroy Rome from within. Can Carbo protect Rufa – and Rome – from Elissa’s evil plan? Or will her following be too strong for the Watchmen of Rome?
‘For fans of Ancient History and Historical Fiction alike’ – Richard Foreman, author of the bestselling ‘Swords of Rome’ series.

Apostoloff by Sibylle Lewitscharoff
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 252 KB
Overview: Two sisters travel to Sofia—in a convoy of luxury limousines arranged by a fellow Bulgarian exile—to bury their less-than-beloved father. Like tourists, they are chauffeured by the ever-charming Ruben Apostoloff—one sister in the back seat, one in the passenger seat; one sharp-tongued and aggressive, the other polite and considerate. In a caustic voice, Apostoloff shows them the treasures of his beloved country: the peacock-eye pottery (which contains poisonous dye), the Black Sea coast (which is utterly destroyed), the architecture (a twentieth-century crime). His attempts to win them over seem doomed to fail, as the sisters’ Bulgarian heritage is a heavy burden—their father, a successful doctor and melancholy immigrant, appears in their dreams still dragging the rope with which he hanged himself. An account of a daughter’s bitterly funny reckoning with her father and his country, laden with linguistic wit and black humour, Apostoloff brings the unique voice of Sibylle Lewitscharoff to an eager audience.

The Hummingbird by Sandro Veronesi
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1005 KB
Overview: Marco Carrera, the protagonist of the new novel by Sandro Veronesi, is the hummingbird. His is a life of continuous suspensions but also of fatal coincidences, of atrocious losses and absolute loves. He never falls to the bottom: his is an incessant movement to remain still, steadfast, and when this is not possible, to find the stopping point of the fall – so that surviving does not mean living less.

Around him, Veronesi builds other unforgettable characters, who inhabit perfect fictional architecture. A whole world, in a liquid time that extends from the early seventies to a gloomy near future, when suddenly the fruit of Marco Carrera’s resilience will shine: she is a child, her name is Miraijin, and she will be the new man.

A powerful novel, which enchants and moves, about the poignant force of life.
