Father Cabraal’s Recipe for Love Cake

Father Cabraal’s Recipe for Love Cake explores the complex legacies of colonial exploitation and slavery in a tropical island in the Indian Ocean (a loosely fictionalised Sri Lanka). Two compelling stories run in parallel:

In the 21st century, Katharina Silvaria, formerly a tv news journalist and war reporter based in London, now lives on the island, in an ancient house she has recently inherited. Damaged by her experiences as a war reporter and seeking a quiet life, Katharina earns a living by baking and exporting cakes made to an old recipe she found in the house. Amid one of the periodic rebellions against a repressive and unjust government, wounded fugitive Rajiv Almeida takes refuge in Katharina’s house, and she reluctantly agrees to shelter him from the police.

In the late 17th century, significant areas of the island are controlled by a powerful European trading enterprise known only as The Company. Santiago De Melo, one of the first Europeans to reside in the island Fort, builds an imposing house for himself and, defying convention, chooses as his bride a local woman, Maria, who has good reason to hate The Company. Unusually, Maria has inherited from her lover – and now runs – one of the best pepper farms in the area. But the casually brutal deputy governor of the island is determined to seize control of its lucrative pepper trade, and tragedy follows.

The Vegetarian (Special Hardcover)

Special Hardback Indian Edition of The Vegetarian :Winner of the 2024 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE,

Winner of the INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE,

Author Han Kang’s premium finish edition, Ideal for literary readers and gift buyers. A strange, painfully tender exploration of the brutality of desire indulged and the fatality of desire ignored… Exquisite’ Eimear McBride Yeong-hye and her husband are ordinary people – dutiful wife and mild-mannered office worker. One day, prompted by grotesque recurring nightmares, Yeong-hye decides to become a vegetarian. But in South Korea, where vegetarianism is almost unheard-of and societal mores are strictly obeyed, it is a shocking act of subversion.

Yeong-hye’s passive rebellion rapidly manifests in ever more bizarre and frightening forms, from sexual sadism to attempted suicide, and in increasingly erotic and unhinged artworks, as all the while she spirals further into her fantasies…

Disturbing and beautiful by turns, The Vegetarian is a revelatory novel about modern day South Korea; a tale of shame, desire and our faltering attempts to understand others.

Delulu Is (Not) the Solulu: The Secret to Staying Sane While Falling Apart

What if the universe is less ‘wise guru’ and more ‘stand-up comedian’?

Life’s messy—break-ups, burnout, 3 a.m. spirals, and far too many detours. Delulu Is (Not) the Solulu is your permission slip to stop pretending you’ve got it all together and start laughing your way through the chaos.

This isn’t your mum’s self-help manual. It’s a sacred hot mess of cosmic truths served with memes, awkward confessions, belly laughs, and mind-blowing miracles. Healing here doesn’t come in hushed tones; it comes with a dash of side-eye, sarcasm, and the occasional ugly cry. This book isn’t here to bypass your mess, but to help you meet it—with clarity, calm, and maybe even a bad joke.

For the overthinkers, the oversharers, and anyone allergic to toxic positivity, this is your spiritual cheat code. All it takes is a pinch of delusion, a lot of humour, and the courage to meet life exactly where you are.

The Good Goodbye: The Transformative Power of Conversation at End of Life

Communication experts offer examples and expertise about end-of-life conversations to inspire, teach, and encourage the reader to have their own and to grow from them.

Death is one thing we cannot control. We will all face the death of a loved one. And many, if not most, people in our culture will be hesitant and unprepared to say goodbye.

The Good Goodbye is meant to help those who must say goodbye to a loved one who is dying. In it, readers will discover how culture affects final conversations, and that often the last interactions may not consist of words but gestures and expressions. They will find examples from real people interviewed over many years, with themes that include love, everyday talk, taking care of business, identity messages, spiritual messages, and healing difficult relationships.

Readers will learn about the positive outcomes of final conversations, both from the advice of children and the detailed stories of adults who were changed profoundly in their attitudes and life paths. They will also see that many people have experienced communication with their loved one after that loved one has passed. Finally, readers will discover how others have overcome negativity to engage in the good goodbye, and how they can improve their own preparedness to have final conversations.

Anyone who faces the death of a loved one—and that will be all of us—can gain from reading this book. We have found that hospice workers, nurses, caregivers, assisted-living personnel, spiritual advisors, and grief groups are especially interested. But anyone who is walking the path with someone close who is dying will seek this information and enjoy the inspiration.

The main message: Be there. Listen. Love. Be grateful for the opportunity to grow.

Spiritual Power and Integrity: The New Enneagram Test to Discover Your Strengths and Master Leadership, Communication, and Collaboration in the Workplace

In this lecture series, acclaimed teacher Dr. David R. Hawkins explains how we can transcend lower levels of consciousness and experience the highest levels in the Map of Consciousness®.

How do we go from the 400s to the 500s? Theology, philosophy, and epistemology will lead us up to the doorway but cannot lead us through the doorway. “The way out of the box” is through Love, Joy, Peace, Beauty, Consideration, Devotion, and the reverence for Truth, which is the appreciation of all that is sacred.

In this book, Dr. David Hawkins goes on to explore how everything is happening spontaneously and that nothing is causing anything. He then talks about content and how it relates to context and how to love your humanness.

Some of the many topics discussed include:

• Transcending duality, no-mind, silence,
• Asking “Who am I?” vs. “What am I?”
• Stillness, letting go, aligning with integrity, and dissolving content into context
• Loving your animal nature
• The concept of “happening” being illusory
• And much more!
