Illusions of Love
Like a phoenix Sheena rises from the ruins of her fate to build a remarkable career and lay the foundation of a beautiful life that promises to last 'happily ever after'. Then all of a sudden dark clouds threaten to obscure the sunshine in her life. But she chooses to shut her eyes to the storm, blissfully ignoring its threat! Like the peacock thrilled by the first drops of rain after a long scorching summer, she mistakes the gathering clouds as harbinger of excitement in her life that she makes herself believe to have become monotonous for her. As she lets her passions soar high in the sky, it does not take much time for her to fall miserably on the hard ground, very much like the peacock that loses all its fervour in the midst of its rain-dance, when faced with the reality of its ugly feet. This saga of the beautiful and gifted woman Sheena takes one on a journey of human feelings and emotions that range from the beautiful to the grotesque, the amazing to the gross. One moment the romance and thrill leave one wondering if life could truly be so beautiful and pleasant, while the next one reflects how suddenly fate can turn the tables for us unsuspecting mortals.

The Selector of Souls
The Selector of Soulsbegins with a scene that is terrifying, harrowing and yet strangely tender: we're in the mid ranges of the Himalayas as a young woman gives birth to her third child with the help of her mother, Damini. The birth brings no joy, just a horrible accounting, and the act that follows--the huge sacrifice made by Damini out of love of her daughter--haunts the novel. In Shauna Singh Baldwin's enthralling novel, two fascinating, strong-willed women must deal with the relentless logic forced upon them by survival: Damini, a Hindu midwife, and Anu, who flees an abusive marriage for the sanctuary of the Catholic church. When Sister Anu comes to Damini's home village to open a clinic, their paths cross, and each are certain they are doing what's best for women. What do health, justice, education and equality mean for women when India is marching toward prosperity, growth and becoming a nuclear power? If the baby girls and women around them are to survive, Damini and Anu must find creative ways to break with tradition and help this community change from within.

Women Centre Stage
This selection of six contemporary plays explores a wide range of issues — familial, social, mythological, political — with women centre stage. The plays are distinct from each other in structure, theme and style, but are bound together by a common thread — the position and role of women in family, social and political systems. Issues such as sexual abuse, in-law relationships, the trauma of ageing, the struggle for women’s empowerment, love and passion, desire and revenge, and dynastic politics are discussed through the varying perspectives of a number of characters, bringing an immediacy and urgency to the subjects under consideration. What is significant about the plays is that they highlight the manipulation of the English language resulting with the introduction of an ‘Indian’ syntax. Multilingualism is used to offset the so-called ‘westernisation’ that has been the by-product of the systematic globalisation of ‘third world’ countries. While the plays are meant to be staged, they are also very reader-friendly and will be entertaining as well as educative for the general reader.
