The book of everything — The book of everything

₹180

Bij Thomas thuis houdt men vast aan het Woord. Ieder avond wordt uit de Bijbel voorgelezen, en Thomas kent al hele stukken uit zijn hoofd. Stukken die hij op zijn manier interpreteert en in verbinding brengt met wat er dagelijks allemaal om hem heen gebeurt. Thomas is een jongen met fantasie, die leeft met en geniet van de wonderen van alledag.Als vader moeder weer eens met ferme klappen tot het ware geloof heeft gebracht, weet Thomas dan ook dat het tijd wordt voor een Egyptische plaag. Het hart van de farao dient te worden vermurwd. Deze keer is het weliswaar niet het water van de Rode Zee dat in bloed wordt veranderd, het is het grote aquarium achter de eettafel dat een vurig rood limonadebad wordt! Vaders die aan het Woord vasthouden hebben weinig gevoel voor humor, en de gevolgen zijn dan ook verschrikkelijk. Aanvankelijk voor Thomas en voor zijn moeder, maar uiteindelijk voor vader. Daar zorgen onvoorziene hulptroepen voor: in eerste instantie Thomas grote zus Margot - die helemaal niet zo'n suffe gymnasiumtrut blijkt te zijn als Thomas altijd dacht. En daarnaast mevrouw Van Amersfoort, die misschien wel 'komenist' is of iets anders heel verkeerds, maar die Thomas prachtige leesboeken meegeeft, en versjes van Annie M.G. Schmidt leert. Dat is iets anders dan de psalmen van zijn vader! Maar het leukste is misschien wel dat vader als de dood is voor mevrouw Van Amersfoort en haar vriendinnen. Gezamenlijk nemen de vrouwen het gezag over. En vader druipt met de staart tussen de benen af.Het is 1951. Voor Thomas en zijn familie loopt het op een tweede Bevrijding uit. Misschien uiteindelijk voor Thomas' vader ook wel.

A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza — A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza

₹300

A Place for Us unfolds the lives of an Indian-American Muslim family, gathered together in their Californian hometown to celebrate the eldest daughter, Hadia's, wedding - a match of love rather than tradition. It is here, on this momentous day, that Amar, the youngest of the siblings, reunites with his family for the first time in three years. Rafiq and Layla must now contend with the choices and betrayals that lead to their son's estrangement - the reckoning of parents who strove to pass on their cultures and traditions to their children; and of children who in turn struggle to balance authenticity in themselves with loyalty to the home they came from.In a narrative that spans decades and sees family life through the eyes of each member, A Place For Us charts the crucial moments in the family's past, from the bonds that bring them together to the differences that pull them apart. And as siblings Hadia, Huda, and Amar attempt to carve out a life for themselves, they must reconcile their present culture with their parent's faith, to tread a path between the old world and the new, and learn how the smallest decisions can lead to the deepest of betrayals.A deeply affecting and resonant story, A Place for Us is truly a book for our times: a moving portrait of what it means to be an American family today, a novel of love, identity and belonging that eloquently examines what it means to be both American and Muslim -- and announces Fatima Farheen Mirza as a major new literary talent.
