Book Description
Mary Katherine Kennedy led a very conservative childhood. She started to sprout wings going off the college, and her life took off from there. Kate felt in a rut and sought a goal of greater happiness, moving to New York City to join her boyfriend, Ari Goldman. When she encountered the "The Pink Pearl," what she thought was an otherwise mundane life turned into a whirlwind of adventures. Her journey seeking that goal took many twists and turns, some hilarious, some raucous, some sad, and this part of her story ended with a life-changing decision. Did she make the right decision? Read Kate's story, and the author's commentaries along the way, and decide for yourself if she made the best choices that would, hopefully, open the door to a new life that would forever bring her the level of happiness that she sought."Kate's story is engaging from the very beginning. This book, I predict, has all the elements of becoming a best seller! From the quirky and creative writing style narrating Kate's poignant story, the book is a page-turner. Kate is a lovable, sometimes exasperating, and naive young woman struggling to exchange her 'rut' of a lifestyle into a fulfilling and happy life. I found myself talking to her character as I read her story. That's how real Kate is! This first-time author creates a character as real as you and me while injecting humor and hope into this millennial's angst."Karla Williams Noonan, best-selling author, Aurora Street

Pages : 263
Book Description
Satyajit Rayýs brilliant detective, Feluda, returns with Topshe and Jatayu to solve six mysteries involving murder, theft and fraud. In the title story, a rare pink pearl surfaces in a little Bengal village, and the owner turns to Feluda for protection against the machinations of the sleuthýs old enemy, the devious Maganlal Meghraj. As the plot twists and turns, Feluda ends up in the sinister galis of Banaras, where he must outwit Maganlal once again to recover the pearl. Back in Calcutta to investigate the strange happenings at the Apsara Theatre Company, Feluda and his trusted aides foil the insidious plans of a clever murderer; and in Lucknow, where Feluda began his career, they recover a stolen antique necklace. On holiday in Kashmir, the intrepid trio find themselves confronted with the brutal killing of an ex-judge; while a bizarre request from an amnesia patient takes them through the streets of London, where they discover a secret left untouched for decades. Finally, in one of his most stunning deductions, Feluda finds the long-lost manuscript of a murdered psychiatrist and shikari. Replete with drama, suspense and Rayýs unique brand of quaint humour, this last collection of Feluda stories is a fitting adieu from the best-loved detective team in India.
