Paperback. Etat : New. 1930: Salter's Creek, former trading-post, an isolated settlement in NW Canada long-fallen into decline after rumours of a gold strike turned out to be false, serves scattered outlying homesteads hacked out of the surrounding forest by immigrant Scottish families dispossessed of their Highland birth-right by the Clearances. It is necessary to decide who should be responsible for the welfare of Kip Harrison, orphaned aged eight by a car accident and adopted by his elderly Great Aunt who dies shortly before his eleventh birthday. Should his guardian be the austere Minister and his wife, or the amiable schoolmaster whom Kip himself prefers? Nobody except the reader is aware of the boy's accidental encounter with the fanatical old itinerant preacher `Pope' Potter with which the story opens and is to have such far-reaching consequences.In an exceptionally dry summer, the threat of forest fires in everyone's mind, a worrying pattern of small conflagrations and the bizarre desecration of the church increases tension as The Great Blaze eats its way towards Salter's Creek.…

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. May Calloway is very good at leaving. She has built her whole life around it - temporary apartments, transactional relationships, a one-way ticket to Ireland already booked. Then Missy, her rescue tabby, begins speaking in the voice of Michael Devaney: a dead FBI analyst who doesn't know how he died, can't quite remember his own name, and is certain of only one thing - he failed his daughter, and he needs May's help to make it right.What follows is part mystery, part impossible miracle, part slow undoing. As Michael's memories surface in fragments - a kitchen table, a recital, a hallway full of regret - May is pulled into a search she has no business caring about, alongside a dockworker who keeps showing up asking for nothing at all. Helping Michael find his daughter means sorting through his failures and her own history of being left behind. It also means that when the search ends, he will be gone.For the first time, May has to sit with the question she has spent years avoiding: what if staying is the answer?The Ninth Life of Missy is a haunting, funny, and quietly heartbreaking novel about grief, abandonment, and the courage to let someone see you. Some ghosts ask for closure. This one asks for a life. May is packing for Ireland when her rescue cat begins speaking in the voice of a dead FBI analyst - a father who needs her help reaching the daughter he failed, before his last chance to make it right disappears.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. A literary novel about a Gujarati American daughter, the parents who cannot let her go, and what it costs to choose a life they did not choose for her.Kavya Patel is twenty-one, a senior at Rutgers, and pre-pharmacy because pharmacy was decided for her before she was old enough to argue. She lives at home in Edison, New Jersey, in a house where her mother reads her face the way other people read weather, where the front door is counted in and out, and where the family hotel off the Turnpike pays for a future no one thought to ask whether she wanted.What her parents do not know: for eight months she has been seeing Arjun Mehta. What they also do not know: she has registered for two English classes. Six credits that will appear on a transcript in May.One of those classes is a comparative religion seminar, where she reads the Bhagavad Gita for the first time as something other than an object on a shelf at home - a book about a man stopped on a battlefield and told to act anyway. Duty is the word her parents use the way other families use a lock. In the seminar it becomes a question instead, and it will not stop being one.Then a dinner is arranged with a suitable boy. A phone is checked. And the argument the Patels have spent twenty-one years not having arrives all at once, with a price attached.Kem Cho? is a close, unflinching portrait of a family in which love and control have grown into the same gesture, and of a young woman learning the difference between being obedient and being good. It takes seriously the thing many novels about immigrant families flinch from: that some parents do not change, that understanding is not the same as being forgiven, and that a daughter may have to pay full price for a life of her own.Set over four months in the Gujarati community of central New Jersey, told in Gujarati and English, and written with restraint rather than melodrama, this is a novel for readers of Fatima Farheen Mirza, Celeste Ng, Avni Doshi, and Jhumpa Lahiri - and for anyone who has ever loved a family they could not live inside. A second-generation Gujarati American daughter, the parents who cannot let her go, and the price of a life she chooses for herself. Literary fiction set in the Indian American community of New Jersey. This item is printed on demand.
