DARK SHORES-Return to Serendib Familiar characters reappear on stage in this dramatic sequel to the popular novel 'Serendib-Isle of dreams' as Natalie and Mike prepare to celebrate three years of marital bliss with family and friends. Evil and vengeful as ever, Renuka is determined to possess Mike at any cost and joins forces with Natalie's sadistic ex-husband in his quest for revenge. Rashid, Renuka's mysterious new boyfriend embroils her in nefarious child smuggling activity in remote fishing villages. Renuka finally succeeds in entrapping Mike. Natalie's ex-husband abducts her but when they are ambushed on a lonely road, she is captured by terrorists roaming the steamy north eastern jungles of Sri Lanka and she finds herself in the thick of on-going civil war between Tamil Tigers and the army. Natalie's life hangs in the balance precariously, as she struggles to survive in the rebel camp. Will she escape the lustful advances of the rebel leader or be shot by his insanely jealous lover? Romance, laughter and drama in the everyday lives of diverse characters are delicately interwoven and interspersed with shafts of sunny humour to dispel dark shadows that threaten to destroy Natalie and Mike's love forever. Natalie's insecurity in Mike's love re-surfaces, as she once again believes he has betrayed her and is unable to forgive him. Scenes shift from exotic Sri Lanka, to Melbourne and Queensland, as Natalie and Mike take a trip in the hope of regaining their lost Paradise. This exciting and long-awaited sequel is a must read for anyone who enjoys the exotic, as the author's unique narrative style and colourful descriptions capture the very essence of the Island and its people. Her talent lies in the ability to bring a story to life with an artist's sensitivity, depicting light, shade and shadow, just like an exquisite landscape.
Anusha's life changes dramatically when she is orphaned at eight years and spends the next few years as a servant. Abducted from her village in Sri Lanka one day, she is forced into child labour but escapes soon after only to be captured by people smugglers. Anusha ends up at a Detention Centre on Christmas Island along with a few surviving refugees when the smugglers are ship-wrecked in Australian waters and she is sent to Western Australia where she grows up to be a beautiful young girl. Anusha's unusual beauty though attracts the attention of a much-married, older mining-magnate who is determined to marry her. But her life is in danger as the millionaire's family resent his beautiful young wife and plot to get rid of her. Anusha's story of survival, courage and ultimate triumph holds a message of hope and empowerment to all those who face life's challenges.
With a vivid description of early childhood in Sri Lanka, the Lotus Island, and then migrating to Australia in 1972, Nalini's journey is a captivating story of fortitude in the pursuit of her dreams. Her indomitable spirit, faith, and resilience in the face of adversity and loss is truly inspiring, as the rich tapestry of her life is interwoven with optimism and determination to succeed in a new country.
Who Is a Muslim? argues that modern Urdu literature, from its inception in colonial institutions such as Fort William College, Calcutta, to its dominant iterations in contemporary Pakistan—popular novels, short stories, television serials—is formed around a question that is and historically has been at the core of early modern and modern Western literatures. The question “Who is a Muslim?,” a constant concern within eighteenth-century literary and scholarly orientalist texts, the English oriental tale chief among them, takes on new and dangerous meanings once it travels to the North-Indian colony, and later to the newly formed Pakistan. A literary-historical study spanning some three centuries, this book argues that the idea of an Urdu canon, far from secular or progressive, has been shaped as the authority designate around the intertwined questions of piety, national identity, and citizenship.
