Imran Ahmad thought that life was clear and unambiguous, good-and-bad, Heaven-and-Hell - as long as you had a solid moral foundation and rational beliefs based on the application of reason to empirical observation. Apparently, this was an oversimplification. The Perfect Gentleman (originally published as Unimagined) has touched the hearts of readers all over the world and received an astonishing breadth of acclaim from all quarters. For years, readers have been impatient for this, the long-overdue sequel ... The Imperfect Gentleman. With searing clarity, breathtaking honesty and a unique structure which encompasses stunning story arcs that span decades, Imran Ahmad explores what it is to be human - imperfect, insecure, superficial, sometimes ignorant, perhaps arrogant - in a world of extremes and narrow-minded convictions. A beautiful, complex, multilayered, often surprising world in which there are many versions of humanity for him to discover ... and Time is merely a means of organising our understanding. The boy who grew up wanting to be the perfect gentleman learns that nothing is quite so black-and-white in reality, and that no life can be lived in only a single genre. Written in a unique 'multi-genre' style, this unimagined journey is guaranteed to provoke and fascinate, as it explores the possibility that nothing we hold as absolute truth may actually be so. And that those whom we hate may actually be worthy of our deepest love. His website is: www.unimagined.co.uk
Both deliciously funny and deeply insightful, THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN is a beguiling multi-layered memoir that has touched the hearts of readers all over the world. At the age of one, Imran Ahmad moved from Pakistan to London, growing up torn between his Islamic identity and his desire to embrace the West. Join Imran in his lifelong struggle against corruption and injustice, and as he grapples with some of Life's most profound questions. What does God do exactly? Do you automatically go to Hell for following the wrong religion? How do you persuade a beautiful woman to become your girlfriend (and would driving a Jaguar XJS help?) Can you maintain a James Bond persona without the vodka, cigarettes and women - even whilst your parents are trying to arrange your marriage? Imran's unimagined journey makes thoughtful, compelling, and downright delightful reading. With a unique style and unflinching honesty, THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN addresses serious issues in an extraordinarily light way, and will leave readers both thinking deeply and laughing out loud.

This groundbreaking guide is for every woman who is ready to create a stronger, healthier, more satisfying partnership.

"I'm perfectly happy with the man in my life." After spending more than ten years working with thousands of women, nationally acclaimed lecturer and bestselling author Ellen Sue Stern is convinced that deep within every woman's heart, that ideal is what she yearns for. The good news is that despite their discontent, the majority of women remain committed to the possibility of improving their relationships. The bad news is that many women are starting to run out of ideas, patience...and time. Put yourself in charge -- now -- and stop waiting for your partner to fulfill your dreams. Loving an Imperfect Man is the winning blueprint to discovering how to love and accept your man for who he is...and reinvest your energy toward becoming the strong, powerful, and deserving woman you truly are.

Set in the Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, An Imperfect Man narrates two devastating weeks in the life of Jack Hughes as he battles his left arm and his past. Praise for Calabro's previous works: "Echoes of Pirandello and Calvino punctuate The Cousin, best described as tragic surrealism." -- The Globe and Mail "[The short story A Glass of Wine is] ... a subtly subversive piece of fiction." -- Descant "[Bellecour] is a small masterwork of erotic candour and psychological acuity." -- The Globe and Mail
Acclaimed author Anne Roiphe evokes the sights and sounds of 1880s Alexandria, Egypt, a bustling center of trade and travel. From teeming docks to overflowing market stalls, from grand homes to grimy narrow alleyways, cholera microbes rise and bob in streams of water and tiny droplets, clinging to moisture as man clings to air. With a keen mind and dedication to his work, young Louis Thuillier has impressed his mentor—famed scientist Louis Pasteur—enough to be sent to Alexandria as one-third of the French mission searching for the source of the cholera that is terrorizing the city. Along with the other members of the French mission—scientists Emile Roux and Edmond Nocard and their enterprising servant Marcus—Louis longs to find the cure, bringing glory to himself and to France. Este Malina is the lovely daughter of a respected Jewish doctor, whose family has lived in Alexandria for hundreds of years. A life of comfort has made Este a romantic, and she hopes to marry a man with the heart of a poet. Neither expects to find a soul mate in the other, but when Este begins to assist at the French mission’s lab, a deep bond forms. Este, though, is engaged to another, and Louis is not Jewish—her family would never allow them to marry. In spite of their many differences, the lovers’ desire grows and their fantasies threaten to distract them from their work. In Alexandria, the disease rages on, as mysterious as it was a thousand years before. Political intrigue threatens to separate Este and Louis permanently. Their love, as fragile as the glass slides they use in the lab, is in danger before it has had a chance to thrive. With An Imperfect Lens, rich with the sights and scents of a different era, Anne Roiphe once again demonstrates the storytelling power for which she has long been hailed.
