Vineyard Melody
One night nearly killed her. But it also set her free. Trapped in an abusive marriage and a society that demands her silence, Namratha knows survival comes at a cost. However, when a violent encounter nearly claims both her and her daughter’s lives, fear becomes a spark—and she is done being afraid. Armed with fluent French, a background in hospitality, and a spirit too fierce to break, she boards a plane to pursue an MBA in Bordeaux, France, temporarily leaving her daughter with her parents for safety. In the midst of the bucolic vineyards and ancient châteaux, Nam discovers the magical world of wine and winemaking. As she heals and reinvents herself, she hitchhikes through the vineyards of Margaux, masters the art of wine tasting in Italy, unlocks hidden cellars beneath Paris, and witnesses high-stakes wine auctions in London. But even as her name rises in the world of winemaking, a shadow follows—her husband’s relentless grip and the battle to reunite with her daughter. Vineyard Melody is a breathtaking tale of hope, survival and transformation—a true story of a woman who traded chains for courage, fear for passion, and a life defined by others for one written by her own hand.

When five-year-old Marissa loses her mother, she is taken by her father to live on a small Thai island in the Andaman Sea. There, she forms a deep friendship with Arielle and together they explore the fragile wonders of its forests, reefs, and beaches. Holding their breath for minutes at a time, they learn to dive into the deep, as effortlessly synchronized as the manta rays they come to know by name. Then, on Boxing Day 2004, when the Indian Ocean tsunami makes landfall, they are swept up by the first wave and separated. Eight years later, Marissa is living in New York. She spends her days wandering through the city and her nights seeking solace in the beds of strangers. As the city prepares for a devastating storm, Marissa reflects on her past and learns how to sustain herself in a precarious world. Under Water is a story about friendship and grief, but also ecological change and natural disasters. It is a meditation on loss, a tribute to our dying oceans and forests, and a love letter to the disappearing coral reefs.

Mostly Hero
FROM THE BOOKER PRIZE WINNER AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF MILKMANStill eighty-two, still with fifty-seven bullets in her, still dying, and with a blood-trail resembling a post-structuralist anti-principle of a traditional abstracted countercomposition, she was softly cursing and willing herself not to die. Follow Hero the superhero as he saves the world from villains and falls in love with a femme fatale named Femme Fatale. Written by Anna Burns before she completed her dazzling Booker-winning novel Milkman, 'Mostly Hero' is a hilarious, witty, hell-raising romp through a world of superheroes. 'This crazy little nugget from the winner of the Booker prize for Milkman is a brutal satire of the superhero phenomenon. It ridicules the mindlessness of violence and the glorification of the same in popular culture, and that with a touch of feminism.' ? reader review'Out of the ordinary, extraordinary. This is unlike anything.'? reader review'SOOOO WEIRD. SOOOO CRAZY. SOOOO BRILLIANT' ? reader review
