Does political rhetoric on immigration policy match what is actually happening on the ground? Why do well-intentioned plans fail? Could immigration policy be done better?

The Girl Who Draws on Whales is set in a fantasy world, several centuries after ‘The Great Flood.’ Sister Wangi and younger brother Banyu live in a sea-village. Wangi has a special bond with the Great Whales that visit their sea-village and they allow Wangi to draw on their backs. Sometimes they return with new drawings on them.

Mia Says…
Unlike any kind of “murder mystery” I’ve ever read…a clever sideways look at the genre. Alternating chapters take you effortlessly through two different worlds, and the result is original, funny, and heartbreaking. Witty treats for fans of a good old-fashioned Poirot, interspersed with a compassionate story about the mystery of grief. Was such a surprising read, I love this. (Note: while smart and funny, the tale is also sad! One to remember in case buying this for a holiday mystery book).

Our narrator understands good love stories – their secrets their highs and free falls. But her greatest love story, the one she lived, never followed the rules. She was in her senior year of college when star students Sam and Yash swept her into an intoxicating world of academic fervour, rapid-fire banter and raucous card games. Their lives became quickly intertwined – with friendship but also with unpredictable passions and the intimations of first love. Decades later, she is a successful writer, living a comfortable life with her husband and children, when a surprise visit brings the past crashing into the present, forcing her to confront the decisions and deceptions of her youth. Written with the precision of poetry and the emotional tide of an epic, ‘Heart the Lover’ is a celebration of literature and the life-long echoes of young love.
