'Rejimon writes in a highly readable manner [of these]...heart-warming anecdotes of the valour of our coastal communities...whose members are well deserving of the highest praise and admiration from a grateful society. A work to cherish!'--Dr Shashi Tharoor, MP In August 2018, when the worst floods in a century hit Kerala, fishermen risked their lives, their boats--their only source of livelihood--and their health to rescue thousands of stranded flood victims. They spent days and nights soaked to the skin, steering on empty stomachs. They had to navigate the wild flood's treacherous undercurrents and dive into dirty waters, risking disease and injury. Sometimes, they had to carry people or act as footstools to help them climb into the boats. They would even swim alongside the boats, so that more people could fit. Veteran journalist Rejimon Kuttappan draws on years of friendship with the fisherfolk along the Thiruvananthapuram coast to bring their stories to the world--in their own words. Through interviews with fishermen, government officials and flood victims, as well as extensive research, he brings to life the daring heroism and heart-wrenching sorrow of those terrible days. In the process, he reveals the precarious lives of the fisherfolk communities--threatened by climate crisis, coastal erosion and a rapidly changing way of life. This book is both a chronicle of heroism and a tribute to the enduring courage of a community that saved Kerala in its moment of need.

A captivating reimagining of the life and turbulent marriage of Middlemarch author George Eliot—perfect for fans of The Paris Wife and Lily King’s Euphoria “A deep dive into love’s turbulent waters, and into the mysterious heart of a person we thought we knew best.” —Vogue Dinitia Smith’s spellbinding historical fiction novel recounts George Eliot’s honeymoon in Venice in June 1880 following her marriage to a handsome young man 20 years her junior. When she agreed to marry John Walter Cross, Eliot was recovering from the death of George Henry Lewes, her beloved companion of 26 years. Eliot was bereft—left at the age of 60 to contemplate profound questions about her physical decline, her fading appeal, and the prospect of loneliness. In her youth, Eliot was Mary Ann Evans. A country girl considered too plain to marry, she educated herself to secure a livelihood. In an era when female novelists were objects of wonder, she became the most famous writer of her day—with a male nom de plume. The Honeymoon explores love in its many forms, and of the possibilities of redemption and happiness in an imperfect union. Smith integrates historical truth with her own rich rendition of Eliot’s inner voice, crafting a page-turner that is as intelligent as it is gripping.

The inspiration for the Major Motion Picture Directed by George Clooney—exclusively in theaters December 25, 2023! The #1 New York Times bestselling true story about the American rowing triumph of the 1936 Olympics in Berlin—from the author of Facing the Mountain For readers of Unbroken, out of the depths of the Depression comes an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate account of how nine working-class boys from the American West showed the world at the 1936 Olympics in Berlin what true grit really meant. It was an unlikely quest from the start. With a team composed of the sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the University of Washington’s eight-oar crew team was never expected to defeat the elite teams of the East Coast and Great Britain, yet they did, going on to shock the world by defeating the German team rowing for Adolf Hitler. The emotional heart of the tale lies with Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not only to regain his shattered self-regard but also to find a real place for himself in the world. Drawing on the boys’ own journals and vivid memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, Brown has created an unforgettable portrait of an era, a celebration of a remarkable achievement, and a chronicle of one extraordinary young man’s personal quest.
