For fans of Call Me By Your Name. Shyam Selvadurai’s brilliant novels, Funny Boy and Cinnamon Gardens, have garnered him international acclaim. In his first young adult novel, he explores first love with clarity, humor and compassion. The setting is Sri Lanka, 1980, and it is the season of monsoons. Fourteen-year-old Amrith is caught up in the life of the cheerful, well-to-do household in which he is being raised by his vibrant Auntie Bundle and kindly Uncle Lucky. He tries not to think of his life “before,” when his doting mother was still alive. Amrith’s holiday plans seem unpromising: he wants to appear in his school’s production of Othello and he is learning to type at Uncle Lucky’s tropical fish business. Then, like an unexpected monsoon, his cousin arrives from Canada and Amrith’s ordered life is storm-tossed. He finds himself falling in love with the Canadian boy. Othello, with its powerful theme of disastrous jealousy, is the backdrop to the drama in which Amrith finds himself immersed.

Book excerpt: In the lush and vibrant village of Alleppey, Kerala, a wedding brings together a tapestry of traditions, love, and the ceaseless beauty of the monsoon rains. **"A Monsoon Wedding"** tells the heartwarming and evocative tale of Lakshmi and Ravi's journey to matrimonial bliss, intricately planned by the dedicated wedding planner, Aisha. Aisha, a meticulous and creative wedding planner from Mumbai, arrives in Alleppey with the task of orchestrating the perfect wedding for Lakshmi and Ravi. Her initial days are filled with challenges as she navigates through the nuances of Kerala's traditions and the unpredictable monsoon weather. The story unfolds with Aisha immersing herself in the local culture, forming deep bonds with the Nair family and the villagers who are as integral to the celebration as the rituals themselves. Throughout her journey, Aisha encounters a series of heartfelt and enriching experiences. She collaborates with Radhakrishnan, a revered local musician, to weave the soul of Kerala’s music into the wedding ceremonies. With Sundar, the skilled florist, she crafts a floral wonderland that blends traditional and contemporary elements, transforming the venue into a breathtaking celebration of nature and culture. Ananya, a talented artisan, helps Aisha incorporate traditional crafts into the decor, adding authenticity and charm to the wedding. As the wedding day approaches, the monsoon rains become both a challenge and a blessing, imbuing the celebration with a unique magic. The ceremony itself is a grand yet intimate affair, filled with traditional rituals, heartfelt emotions, and the vibrant sounds of local music. Despite the rain, or perhaps because of it, the wedding becomes a testament to resilience, love, and the enduring beauty of tradition. The narrative reaches its zenith with the wedding ceremony, where Lakshmi and Ravi exchange vows amidst the lush, rain-kissed landscape of Alleppey. The monsoon, far from being a hindrance, enhances the romance and mystique of the occasion, symbolizing the life-giving force that nourishes both the land and the human spirit. Aisha's journey culminates in a profound sense of accomplishment and connection, as she helps create a wedding that is not just a union of two hearts, but a celebration of the rich cultural heritage of Kerala. As the rain-soaked celebration concludes, Aisha reflects on her time in Alleppey, filled with gratitude for the experiences and relationships she has formed. The story leaves readers with a sense of peace and fulfillment, echoing the gentle promise of new beginnings brought by the monsoon. "A Monsoon Wedding" is a story of love, tradition, and the magic of the monsoon, beautifully capturing the essence of Kerala's culture and the timeless beauty of a wedding that becomes a cherished memory for all who are part of it.

Book excerpt: Jilted bride Monica Blair can’t believe it when she wakes up next to a blue-eyed, smooth-talking cowboy in the middle of nowhere and with a ring on her finger. It had sounded like a great plan at the time. Get married, get revenge, and get her money back. So why is she cleaning out stables and trying to keep her hands off the hot cowboy helping her? Ryder Nash would have bet his best Stetson that you’d never see him walk down the aisle. But when the city girl with pink-streaked hair and a frog tattoo hatches a plan to expose the conman who married his sister, no idea is too crazy. And even though Monica might be the worst rancher’s wife he’s ever seen, he can’t stop thinking about the wedding night they never had. What was supposed to be a temporary marriage for revenge is starting to feel a little too real...

Book excerpt: From the internationally bestselling author of The Windfall. . . . What could go wrong at a lavish Indian wedding with your best friend and your entire family? “A witty and romantic novel perfect for all readers.”—Terry McMillan NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY MARIE CLAIRE AND NEW YORK POST When Tina Das finds herself at a crossroads both professionally and personally, she wonders if a weeklong trip to Delhi for her cousin’s lavish wedding might be just the right kind of escape. Maybe a little time away from New York will help get her mind straight about her stalled career, her recent breakup, and her nagging suspicion that she’ll never feel as at home in America as she does in India. Tina hopes this destination wedding, taking place at Delhi’s poshest country club, Colebrookes, will be the perfect way to reflect and unwind. But with the entire Das family in attendance, a relaxing vacation is decidedly not in the cards. Her amicably divorced parents are each using the occasion to explore new love interests—for her mother, a white American boyfriend, for her father, an Indian widow arranged by an online matchmaker—and Tina’s squarely in the middle. A former fling is unexpectedly on the guest list, a work opportunity is blurring the lines of propriety on several fronts, and her best friend Marianne’s terrible penchant for international playboys is poised to cause all sorts of chaos back home. The accommodations are swanky, the alcohol is top-shelf, but this family wedding may be more drama than Tina can bear and could finally force her to make the choices she’s spent much of her life avoiding. Infused with warmth and charm, Destination Wedding grapples with the nuances of family, careers, belonging, and how we find the people who make a place feel like home.
