‘In the first minute following her death, Tequila Leila’s consciousness began to ebb, slowly and steadily, like a tide receding from the shore…’
For Leila, each minute after her death recalls a sensuous memory: spiced goat stew, sacrificed by her father to celebrate the birth of a yearned-for son; bubbling vats of lemon and sugar to wax women’s legs while men are at prayer; the cardamom coffee she shares with a handsome student in the brothel where she works. Each fading memory brings back the friends she made in her bittersweet life – friends who are now desperately trying to find her . . .
‘Simply magnificent, a truly captivating work of immense power and beauty, on the essence of life and its end’ Philippe Sands
‘A vivid carnival of life and death, cruelty and kindness, love, politics and deep humanity. Brilliant!’ Helena Kennedy
‘Elif Shafak brings into the written realm what so many others want to leave outside. Spend more than ten minutes and 38 seconds in this world of the estranged. Shafak makes a new home for us in words’ Colum McCann
‘Elif Shafak’s extraordinary 10 Minutes, 38 Seconds in this Strange World is a work of brutal beauty and consummate tenderness’ Simon Schama
‘A rich, sensual novel… This is a novel that gives voice to the invisible, the untouchable, the abused and the damaged, weaving their painful songs into a thing of beauty.’ Financial Times
‘One of the best writers in the world today’ Hanif Kureishi
‘Haunting, moving, beautifully written – and based by an extraordinary cast of characters who capture the diversity of modern Turkey. A masterpiece’ Peter Frankopan

100 STEPS TOWARDS SUCCESS
₨ 995We all aspire to do, be and have great things. Yet most of us simply haven’t created the successful life we want, yet. We complain that we don’t have enough money, romance, success or joy in our lives. We point fingers and blame outside problems that “happen” to us and make life more difficult. But what we need to understand and keep at the forefront of our minds is that greatness exists in all of us. It is simply up to us to pull it out of ourselves.
Regardless of personal circumstances, economic climates, and access to resources, it helps to maintain faith in the fact that we are more powerful than we think. We all can create the life we want. We just need to learn how to do it. Is there an exact “formula”? No, but there are certain common features that successful people exhibit and that anyone can practice.
They are what can jumpstart your success and attract what you want in life. You’d be hard pressed to find any high achiever who doesn’t live by the 100 steps.

1946 THE LAST WAR OF INDEPENDENCE
₨ 2,100Pramod Kapoor’s compelling narrative of the Royal Indian Navy uprising of February 1946 in Mumbai and Karachi meticulously researches the seven-day face-off between the naval mutineers, a divided press and an impassioned public opinion, ranged on the one side and the colonial government and the all India nationalist political parties on the other, in a nail-biting, blow by blow account that, in all probability, accelerated the departure of the British from India. What followed was a conspiracy of silence hatched between understandably nervous post-colonial military establishments and Independence historians on both sides of the border, and the creation of a cast-iron taboo that has survived to this present day. Kapoor has unveiled a hidden chapter of our shared history for which he is to be warmly congratulated.
