Heartstone
The fifth novel in the Matthew Shardlake Tudor Mystery series—the inspiration for the Hulu original series Shardlake! Summer 1545. A massive French armada is threatening England, and Henry VIII has plunged the country into economic crisis to finance the war.

As the French fleet approaches, Shardlake's inquiries reunite him with an old friend-and an old enemy close to the throne. This fast-paced fifth installment in C. J. Sansom's "richly entertaining and reassuringly scholarly series" (Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review) will enchant fans of Wolf Hall, Bring Up the Bodies, and The Other Boleyn Girl. Awarded the CWA Diamond Dagger – the highest honor in British crime writing

Modern Arab American Fiction
Within the spectrum of American literary traditions, Arab American literature is relatively new. Writing produced by Americans of Arab origin is mainly a product of the twentieth century and only started to flourish in the past thirty years. While this young but thriving literature varies widely in content and style, it emerges from a common community and within a specific historical, political, and cultural context.

Exploring the works of such best-selling authors as Rabih Alameddine, Mohja Kahf, Laila Halaby, Diana Abu-Jaber, Alicia Eria...
