Cries in the Drizzle
Yu Hua’s beautiful, heartbreaking novel Cries in the Drizzle follows a young Chinese boy throughout his childhood and adolescence during the reign of Chairman Mao. The middle son of three, Sun Guanglin is constantly neglected ignored by his parents and his younger and older brother. Sent away at age six to live with another family, he returns to his parents’ house six years later on the same night that their home burns to the ground, making him even more a black sheep. Yet Sun Guanglin’s status as an outcast, both at home and in his village, places him in a unique position to observe the changing nature of Chinese society, as social dynamics — and his very own family — are changed forever under Communist rule. With its moving, thoughtful prose, Cries in the Drizzle is a stunning addition to the wide-ranging work of one of China’s most distinguished contemporary writers..

A Drizzle of Honey: The Life and Recipes of Spain's Secret Jews
When Iberian Jews were converted to Catholicism under duress during the Inquisition, many struggled to retain their Jewish identity in private while projecting Christian conformity in the public sphere. To root out these heretics, the courts of the Inquisition published checklists of koshering practices and "grilled" the servants, neighbors, and even the children of those suspected of practicing their religion at home. From these testimonies and other primary sources, Gitlitz & Davidson have drawn a fascinating, award-winning picture of this precarious sense of Jewish identity and have re-created these recipes, which combine Christian & Islamic traditions in cooking lamb, beef, fish, eggplant, chickpeas, and greens and use seasonings such as saffron, mace, ginger, and cinnamon. The recipes, and the accompanying stories of the people who created them, promise to delight the adventurous palate and give insights into the foundations of modern Sephardic cuisine. .

Drizzle of Yesteryears
Who belongs to a village? Do the lives of those ‘in exile’ get counted in its collective consciousness and identity? What does being ‘at home’ mean for an eccentric in a traditional society? Where does one locate oneself after migration? This collection of seventeen short stories, arranged in two sections – ‘At Home’ and ‘In Exile’ – examines belongingness, delightfully eccentric behaviour, displacement everyday surprises and longing to return to one’s roots. Stories in the section ‘At Home’ are evocative, capturing moods and events in Pambunkavu, a fictional twenty-first century village set in the Malabar region of Kerela. ‘In Exile’ traces the lives of its people in distant lands – cities such as Mumbai, Delhi and Vienna or the surreal landscapes of a circus tent in Texas – as they cope with migration and foreign cultures. The simplicity of its characters, fluency in storytelling, striking imagery and the settings in this collection ranging from a monk’s domain in cyberspace to an institution for the mentally ill will appeal to anyone who has felt like an outsider at some time, either within his native land or elsewhere..
