My Year in Paris with Gertrude Stein: A Fiction
‘In one short and sly book after another, [Levy] writes about characters navigating swerves of history and sexuality, and the social and personal rootlessness that accompanies both’ Atlantic
Who was Gertrude Stein?
Avant-garde American poet and art collector who made her home in Paris, godmother of modernism, queer icon, friend to Picasso and Hemingway, self-declared genius ― a writer who has baffled readers and critics for a century.
And why does she matter?
The narrator of Deborah Levy’s latest, dazzling fiction has gone to Paris to find out. There she meets Eva with the blinding gaze, an artist in a long-distance marriage, and Fanny, a sexually adventurous financier; together they cook, walk, read and argue late into the nights.
As Paris sweeps her along in its ceaseless flow, she thinks – about what we have to lose to become modern, navigating anxiety, living with uncertainty, angry fathers, making a new life in another country, art and language – how all these things looked to Gertrude Stein in the early days of the twentieth century, and how they look to her and her friends in the early twenty-first.
This is a book about how we put ourselves together― an exhilarating, witty, cosmopolitan meditation on the pleasures and challenges of friendship, desire and living with other people. But it is also crashes through genre to create an inspired portrait of Stein herself: a writer who experimented fearlessly with a new way of living and who wrestled herself free from the nineteenth century to invent a brand-new way of looking at the world.

Tears from the Mother of the Sun: A Secret History of the World
Esoteric legends that track history across multiple continents and planes of existence• Synthesizes ancient mythologies across time, space, and cultures to resacralize the human experience
• Written as a novella interspersed with metered quatrains in the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres
• Includes full-color paintings of key figures and motifs, including Sita, Yggdrasil, the Minotaur, Quetzalcoatl, and the Three Marys
In this globe-spanning chronicle, Pir Zia Inayat Khan, leader of the Inayatiyya, sets forth an astonishing sequence of legends revealing little-known connections between ancient cultures and spiritual lineages.
Framed as a dialogue between the Iranianepic poet Firdausi and his tutelary daimon, this novella follows the tradition of medieval Persian belles-lettres in which prose passages are punctuated with metered verses. The daimon reveals to the hitherto depressed poet the inner history of the world as reflected in the missions of a succession of sages moving through Earth’s lands and ages. Readers will learn of the creation of the universe, the war of the angels and the jinns, the exile of Adam and Eve, and the deeds of Melchizedek and Enoch. They will also explore the rise of the Nephilim, the advent of ancient civilizations, the origins of the Abrahamic faiths, and the history of the Grail and Emerald Tablet. Beautiful paintings by Amruta Patil bring the legends to life.
The cumulative effect of the traditions synthesized here is a resacralization of the human experience across time, space, and cultures, achieved through an unexpected marriage of myth and history.

Psychological Essays
Alfred Richard Orage (1873-1934) was born in Dacre, West Riding, Yorkshire, and was a schoolteacher in Leeds for twelve years, during which time he helped found the Leeds Arts Club. He moved to London in 1906, where he worked as editor of The New Age: A Weekly Review of Politics, Literature and Art, to which many well-known writers and intellectuals contributed. He was involved in socialism for a time, and was a supporter of the social credit system of C.H. Douglas. During the years 1922 to 1930, Orage worked with G.I. Gurdjieff in France and the United States, after which he returned to England, where he became editor of The New English Weekly. He died suddenly during the early morning of 6th November, 1934, having given a radio talk for the B.B.C. on Social Credit the evening before, apparently in good health.Orage wrote wrote fifteen short Psychological Essays in the 1920s. They encompass such subjects as thought power and mental development, dealing with dark moods, the relationship between thought, feeling and body, the importance of active curiosity, observation, and so on. Although these can be read as stand-alone essays, they are very much connected with each other in the sequence given, and in their totality give a kind of recipe for living life to the full.

The Queen Who Walked Away: A Tudor Tale Of Anne Of Cleves (Women Of The Tudor Court Book 3)
She crossed the sea to become Henry VIII’s queen. Instead, she became something far more dangerous: a woman who refused to die for a king.
When Anne of Cleves arrives in England to marry the notorious Henry VIII, she expects duty, obedience, and a crown. What she does not expect is the king’s immediate revulsion toward her – or the deadly atmosphere of the Tudor court, where queens who fail are discarded, disgraced, or destroyed.
Surrounded by whispers of execution and haunted by the fates of the women who came before her, Anne quickly understands the peril she faces. To fight for the crown is to risk her life. To surrender it may cost her everything she was raised to believe she must be.
In a court where survival is never accidental, Anne of Cleves makes an unthinkable choice: she agrees to her own annulment. But this is not defeat. It is strategy. By becoming the king’s “beloved sister,” Anne secures wealth, independence, and the one thing no other wife of Henry VIII achieved – her freedom.
From the treacherous splendor of the Tudor court to the quiet power of a life reclaimed, this intimate historical novel restores the voice of a woman history dismissed as merely “lucky.” Anne of Cleves was not lucky. She was brilliant. And she won by knowing when to walk away.
Perfect for readers who love Tudor historical fiction, strong heroines, and clean, character-driven stories about women who survived history on their own terms. Meant to be a short escape, this book is part of a series, but can be read as a standalone.
