Whispers of the Maple and Mango Trees
Born and raised in India, Jayashree immigrated to Canada more than five decades ago and holds master's and Ph.D. degrees in biochemistry and Indian classical music. An award-winning author of several books written in two languages English and Marathi her books cover varied subjects, those being medical science, Indian classical music, real-life experiences of Canadian immigrants and historical fact-based novels. Serving as a member of the board of trustees with many Canadian non-profit organisations, Jayashree is a visiting professor of music at many Canadian and American universities. This book is based on two major historical events of two secular, democratic and powerful nations of the world, Canada and India, which are strikingly similar in nature: the October Crisis of Canada and the Operation Blue Star of India. Both the events, supposedly freedom movements, done by the French in Quebec (Canada) and Sikhs in Punjab (India) for gaining sovereignty are documented as the most catastrophic events, sadly stamping ugly, dark blemishes in the historical pages of the respective countries. This book details information about those two crises with a comparative aspect. The story captures the atmosphere through the portrayal of fictional characters, a few among them being based on real people, in its grand scope as well as the subtleties of circumstances of those times in Canada and India. It is narrated by wind, personified as Sir Wind, with exceptional sensitivity and grace, who in turn hears it first hand from the whispers of the maple trees in Canada and mango trees in India. The story sheds light on the fact that terrorism undoubtedly is counterproductive in any civilised society, and violence and extremism have no place in a democratic society. In dealing with terrorism, it tells us how Canada and India exemplified to the world a brilliant spirit in that we all lose when misinformation sells more than truth, when moral exploitation sells more than decency, and when political leaders, whom we elect and trust, care more for their personal gain than people's pain. Today, looking at the stellar achievements of both Quebec in Canada and Punjab in India, the idea of either of them wanting to be independent, sovereign countries was indeed too far-fetched and downright futile.

The Little French Cafe
At first, this story seems light-hearted, but it gradually takes a darker turn as it unfolds. At its core, it is about human acceptance, examining love, emotion, trauma, and the lasting weight of the past. The only thing keeping the main character going is his love for his daughter. Without her, he might have given up altogether. Although the story is set in the 1960s, the protagonist often reflects on his experiences during the Second World War, especially the tragedy of losing his wife, who was murdered by the Nazis in occupied France. Running his own caf and working for himself were key to his hopes for the future, allowing him to escape the control of any oppressive forces. Yet no matter how hard we try to avoid trouble, it often has a way of finding us.
Painting Paris
THE ART OF LOVE AND LOSS Paris, 1908. In Montmartre, painters are creating works that will change the way we see life. Some do it better than others; some fall victim to the pursuit of love as well as art. But it s a time to live deeply and take risks with whatever you care about the most. Painting Paris tells the story of the intertwined lives of an artist, a would-be artist and a collector. The artist, Berthe, is destined by her mixed race to be always on the brink of exclusion, but she takes in the Italian Paolo, who arrives as a painter with more ambition than talent; and they are both drawn to an uncomfortable reliance on the financier Henri, who is struggling with his sexual identity. In three parts, each viewed from different perspectives of character, time and place, the story of aching love and loss unfolds towards a resolution in the 1930s. Another era, another secret to confront, another reconciliation to strive for this is a novel of courage and hope, of yearning and fragility, with a tone of self-reflection that will haunt readers. Assured, exquisitely written, wise in its judgements and insights with a feel for character and the complex relationships between life and art. And Berthe is just a wonderful character.

In the dying frost of a Roman winter, three soldiers celebrate the birthday of a young comrade-laughter, wine, and brotherhood briefly dull the hunger gnawing at their bellies.

What begins as a tale of loyalty and camaraderie among Caesar's legion turns into a reckoning with guilt, silence, and the consequences of choosing to live when others do not.As madness, betrayal, and Roman justice unfold within the snow-covered camp, a single haunting question remains: What did we conquer, if not ourselves?With the dark lyricism of Poe and the moral weight of McCarthy, Kade Hollis delivers a tragic meditation on brotherhood, fear, and the monstrous line between man and animal.

The coalfields of northern New Mexico are the setting for the remembrances of six-year-old Matias Monta簽o, a fictionalized version of the author's life in the last years of World War II. Garc穩a writes about ordinary coal-mining people as they struggle to make a living and raise families, and about their heroism, joy for living, and their belief in the value of education, hard work, and the American Dream.For Matias, his brothers, friends, and the adults in their lives, the poor living conditions did not interfere with their adventures and activities, which included collecting scrap iron, picking chokecherries, tracking deer, hunting rattlesnakes, and riding hand cars down the railroad tracks. This book presents a fresh and richly textured view of life in a mining town from the Hispanic viewpoint but includes folklore and stories told by the town's many other ethnic groups, among them Italian, Slavic, and Greek immigrants and African Americans, all working together in support of the war effort and in search of better lives.
