| | 2. |  | Fasting, Feasting
from Mariner Books
Price: $11.16
Customer Review:
Fasting, Feasting is not a cohesive whole, but two badly fitted halves. The first half, which is better written, is set in India and follows Uma, an unmarried middle-aged woman living at the beck and call of her aging parents and enduring a kind of emotional starvation. Her parents will not permit... more info

| | 3. |  | The Home and the World (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
The Home and the World has been variously praised and criticized for reasons having little to do with its literary merit. To my mind, the praise comes largely from reviewers' admiration for the author and the totality of his life and works, rather than this particular work. The criticism comes... more info

| | 4. |  | Clear Light of Day
from Mariner Books
Price: $10.40
Customer Review:
If your reading this for the historical context, I can understand why you might give this book a higher rating. If your going to read it for the story itself you might be disappointed... the book goes nowhere slowly...very slowly. Its almost as if the author is trying to prove her obvious mastery of... more info

| | 5. |  | Baumgartner's Bombay
from Mariner Books
Price: $11.05
Customer Review:
I read this book on a long plane ride. Well, it was okay...not special, though intermittently interesting. I guess my main problem was that I could not quite empathize with the main character Hugo Baumgartner. As another review says - he is a passive character caught up in terrible events. Yeah, it... more info

Rabindranath Tagore is the author of over ninety short stories. The thirty stories in this collection are from the 1890s. He deals with themes of loneliness, death, illness, abusive marriages, family life, jealousy, suicide, revenge, beauty and war.

| | 9. |  | Diamond Dust: Stories
from Mariner Books
Price: $10.20
Customer Review:
Like that enticing assortment of your favourite chocolates laid out invitingly in a tray, each with its own flavour and aroma but broadly speaking, all from the same family, these stories sparkle with life and dazzle you with their charm. They are utterly delightful and exuberant pieces of craft,... more info

from Heinemann Educational Publishers
Price: $12.80
Customer Review:
Anita Desai's wonderful novel tells the story of a family living in the small fishing village of Thul, 14 kilometres from Bombay, India. It is more precisely the story of two young people, Hari, a boy of 14, and Lila, a girl of 13, with a will to survive. Their task is not easy. Lila has to look... more info
