Paperback. Condition: New. WINNER OF THE MILES FRANKLIN AWARD "Deftly traversing time, culture and continent to weave a tale of both home and unbelonging, this is truly a novel not to be missed." - Maxine Beneba Clarke, author of Foreign Soil and The Hate Race"Chandran is an excellent storyteller." - The Weekend AustralianWelcom…e to Cinnamon Gardens, a home for those who are lost and the stories they treasure. Cinnamon Gardens Nursing Home is nestled in the quiet suburb of Westgrove, Sydney - populated with residents with colourful histories, each with their own secrets, triumphs and failings. This is their safe place, an oasis of familiar delights - a beautiful garden, a busy kitchen and a bountiful recreation schedule. But this ordinary neighbourhood is not without its prejudices. The serenity of Cinnamon Gardens is threatened by malignant forces more interested in what makes this refuge different rather than embracing the calm companionship that makes this place home to so many. As those who challenge the residents' existence make their stand against the nursing home with devastating consequences, our characters are forced to reckon with a country divided. Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens is about family and memory, community and race, but is ultimately a love letter to storytelling and how our stories shape who we are.

Paperback. Condition: New. Song of the Sun God spans three continents and three generations of a family that remains dedicated to its homeland, whilst learning to embrace its new home. Nala and Rajan, a young couple, begin their married life in 1946, on the eve of Ceylon's independence from Britain. Arranged in marriage, they le…arn to love each other and protect their growing family, against the backdrop of increasing ethnic tension. Funny, warm and tender, we see Nala and Rajan's family navigate war, migration, old loyalties and new beginnings, relying on the philosophy of their religion, their ancestors and each other. As the country descends into a bloody civil war, Nala and Rajan must decide which path is best for their family; and live with the consequences of their mistakes. Over time, Nala and Rajan teach their family why some parts of their history and heritage are worth holding onto; and why some parts and people have to be left behind. Song of the Sun God is about the wisdom, mistakes and sacrifices of our past that enable us to live more freely in the future. PRAISE FOR SONG OF THE SUN GOD 'an emotive and insightful read.' - The Saturday Paper 'a book that doesn't look away from the brutality of the Sri Lankan conflict - torture, forced displacements and disappearances, cultural destruction and worse - but it also balances horror with humour, and indeed love.' - Sydney Morning Herald '[Chandran] does not shy from the horror of war yet holds hope for mankind.' - The Weekend Australian 'a rich heritage tapestry to embrace' The Australian Women's Weekly 'a sweeping tale of love, duty and migration' - The West Weekend.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKPEOPLE FICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 SHORTLISTED FOR THE DAVITT AWARD FOR ADULT FICTION A SHAMELESS BOOK CLUB PICK AN AUSTRALIAN WOMEN'S WEEKLY GREAT READ A powerful, well-crafted story Sydney Morning Herald a heart-wrenching yet hopeful tale. The Sunday Age a warm an…d generous read. The Guardian a fearless novel that reaches into your heart with evocative prose and beautifully drawn characters. Its also a page turner. -Australian Women's Weekly The new novel from the Miles Franklin award-winning author of Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens.It was a beautiful evening. The wind gathered speed, lifting the frangipanis from the grove behind him, pink and yellow petals defying gravity. Beyond the trees, hidden by the foliage and rows of towering palm trees, the detention centre slept fitfully in the heavy summer heat. The palms blocked the ocean gust that now swirled around him, filling his lungs with the taste of temple flowers and salt. It reminded him of home. He took a deep breath, stepped off the escarpment and felt the red sand rush up towards him. Arriving in Australia seeking asylum, Fina dedicates herself to aiding the refugees who are held in Port Camden, a remote island outpost. Over time she settles into a life within a community of like-minded people, finding a new family, far from her original home. After she speaks out for those being detained, Fina becomes the focus of a media storm that leads to her arrest, and the threat of deportation. When a security officer dies under suspicious circumstances, Lucky, a special investigator, arrives to uncover the truth. The mystery is tied to Finas fateand the secrets she reveals will divide the town and the nation.Safe Haven is about displacement and seeking refugebut ultimately it is a story about finding homeand the lengths youll go to find safety and love. PRAISE FOR SAFE HAVEN a powerful tale The Advertiser timely and provocative The Australiana compassionate literary page turner Big IssueSafe Haven offers readers a novel that does exactly that exploring, through a fictional lens, the ways in which these intertwined histories come to deliver powerful personal, emotional and political legacies. ArtsHub Chandran's writing is evocative and studded with beautiful imagery Books + PublishingAnyone who read Chai Time at Cinnamon Gardens will already know that Miles Franklin winner Shankari Chandran is an expert at sketching communities of people whose dependency on one another is matched by their care for each other. Chandran's new novel, Safe Haven, has it all: a group of refugees only too aware of the fragility of their position; bonds of love and trust; a mysterious death; and similarly beautiful storytelling to her prize-winning book.
