| Summary/Abstract |
If his estranged father hadn't dropped dead, Fat Charlie Nancy would still be blissfully unaware that his dad was Anansi the spider god. He would have no idea that he has a brother called Spider, who is also a god. And there would be no chance that said brother would be trying to take over his life, flat and fiancee. Desperate to reclaim his life, Charlie enlists the help of four more-than-slightly eccentric old ladies and their unique brand of voodoo - and between them they unleash a twisted force to get rid of Spider. But as darkness descends, is Fat Charlie Nancy going to get his life back in one piece or is he about to enter a whole netherworld of pain?

| Summary/Abstract |
A new novel from the author of Oleander Girl, a novel in stories, built around crucial moments in the lives of three generations of women in an Indian-American Family. "A beautiful, powerful new novel from the bestselling, award-winning author of Sister of My Heart and The Mistress of Spies about three generations of mothers and daughters who must discover their greatest source of strength in one another--a masterful, brilliant tale of a family both united and torn apart by ambition and love. The daughter of a poor baker in rural Bengal, India, Sabitri yearns to get an education, but her family's situation means college is an impossible dream. Then an influential woman from Kolkata takes Sabitri under her wing, but her generosity soon proves dangerous after the girl makes a single, unforgivable misstep. Years later, Sabitri's own daughter, Bela, haunted by her mother's choices, flees abroad with her political refugee lover--but the America she finds is vastly different from the country she'd imagined. As the marriage crumbles and Bela is forced to forge her own path, she unwittingly imprints her own child, Tara, with indelible lessons about freedom, heartbreak, and loyalty that will take a lifetime to unravel. In her latest novel, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni explores the complex relationships between mothers and daughters, and the different kinds of love that bind us across generations. Before We Visit the Goddess captures the gorgeous complexity of these multi-generational and transcontinental bonds, sweeping across the twentieth century from the countryside of Bengal, India, to the streets of Houston, Texas.

| Summary/Abstract |
`Dancing in Cambodia’ recreates the first-ever visit to Europe by a troupe of Cambodian dancers with King Sisowath, in 1906. Ghosh links this historic visit, celebrated by Rodin in a series of sketches, to the more recent history of the Khmer Rouge revolution. ‘The Town by the Sea’ records his experiences in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands just days after the tsunami; and in ‘September 11’ he takes us back to that fateful day when he retrieved his young daughter from school in New York, sick with the knowledge that she will be marked by the same kind of tumult that has defined his own life.

| Summary/Abstract |
Can one indiscretion be allowed to scar a family for life?
Ronojoy's mother dies alone in the Ashram she had abruptly retreated to twenty-eight years ago, leaving him - then only twelve- to fend for the emotional needs of himself and his six-year-old brother.
When the cremation rites are complete, Ronojoy is handed a letter from his mother that is not so much a farewell as a confession. As before, it is left to him to decide whether to share the disturbing contents with his brother, whom he has always sought to protect.
Thus, begins another tumultuous cycle in the lives of the two brothers who already carry deep scars from their childhood; their fragile minds ever at risk of succumbing to the dark.
Written in spare, stark prose, Dark Circles deftly weaves past and present, offering tantalizing glimpses of bottled truths buried deep in the recesses of repressed memory; brilliantly exposing the dark undercurrents that swirl under the seemingly placid lives of families.

The plot in ‘The Da Vinci Code’ revolves around Robert Langdon, who interprets symbols at Harvard. He gets a shocking phone call at mid-night while in Paris. The administrator of the Louvre was killed in the premises of the museum and the dead body is accompanied by a sequence of codes. As Robert was supposed to meet that person, he now stands as a suspect of the murder. Robert is accompanied by Sophie Neveu, a French cryptologist, in solving the mystery revolving around the murder.
They are astonished to find that the hints they are searching for are hidden in the works of Leonardo Da Vinci. Although the clues can be seen clearly, yet they are to be decoded. As the story unfolds, it is found out that the late administrator was affiliated with some secret society and his sole purpose was to safeguard the secret. Robert and Sophie then battle to decode the secrets running from cathedrals to castles around the whole Europe.
