Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - There is a word in Tamil that English has no equivalent for. Idam. It means place, but also space, but also belonging. You say it when you are looking for where you fit. You say it when you have found something.Lakshmi Iyer has been asking idam enge, where is my place, since she left Madras at twenty-five with a suitcase and an arranged marriage and landed in southeastern Pennsylvania, where the winters were grey and the nearest temple was a Sunday drive away. The Smudged Hyphen is the record of what happened next: twenty years of building a life between worlds, written in real time and gathered here into a collection that moves from the private to the political and back again.The essays range across marriage and its long negotiations, the silence around money in adoption, the specific bewilderment of raising white daughters as a brown woman in America, the body's quiet rebellions in midlife, the grief that arrives when a parent dies and keeps arriving for decades after. Iyer writes about vibuthi and K pop, about the politics of joy and the labor of festivals no one else in the house understands, about the moment she looked at her father, the man she had idolized for his silence, and understood that his silence had a different name.She does not resolve these tensions. The hyphen in the title is smudged, not erased. The essays hold contradictions: love and clear-eyed reckoning, rootedness and restlessness, the home you carry and the home you keep making. What emerges is a portrait of a woman in the middle of her life, still asking the question, still finding that the asking itself is a form of arrival.The Smudged Hyphen is for anyone who has ever stood between two places and wondered if the space between counts as somewhere.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Mithra Govindan knows exactly where the salt belongs on a wedding leaf.She knows how to feed three hundred guests from a kitchen held together by borrowed burners and sheer competence. She knows how to keep her family's catering business running when money is tight. And she knows she has no business being noticed by Siddharth Rajan, the wealthy, difficult owner of one of Kovai's grandest hotels.Then a wedding goes wrong.Guests fall ill. A video of Mithra on her knees, gathering her dead mother's pearls from the hotel's marble floor, goes viral. Bookings vanish overnight, and the family's livelihood begins to collapse.The evidence will eventually clear Mithra. The humiliation is harder to undo.And so is Siddharth.As Mithra rebuilds what was nearly taken from her, their lives become entangled in family loyalties, buried histories, old griefs, and an attraction neither of them knows what to do with.

And choosing.Set amid the wedding kitchens, temple hills and old mill fortunes of Coimbatore, Pearls on Marble is a story of food, family, class, and inheritance-and of the difference between being given a place and knowing you belong there.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Amaya Stein did not come to K-pop willingly. She came because her editor sent her to cover MYNX, one of the biggest acts on the planet, with a tight deadline and very little sympathy. The woman who assigned it is also her aunt, which is a separate problem.Amaya is a serious journalist. She has opinions about narrative structure. She does not have opinions about fan chants. This will not last.What she doesn't see coming: that the music will actually move her. That she will develop a parasocial relationship with a light stick. That the late-night messages she keeps trading on Echo belong to Noah, MYNX's main vocalist, Korean American, the one who writes the songs that have been stuck in her head for three weeks. He is funny. He is honest. He pays attention to everything she says. None of this was in the assignment.She also hadn't planned to invite him into her kitchen in Manayunk and cook dinner like two people who have been doing it for years.She is twenty-eight. She has a novel she is not writing, a biopsy scheduled for next week, and no room left over for falling for a man twenty thousand people scream for by name. And yet.A Star Keeps Its Distance is a love story about music, belonging, and what happens when a woman who has perfected the art of holding her feelings at arm's length meets someone who makes it impossible. Set between Philadelphia and Seoul. Featuring excellent food, a devoted fandom, and two people who take a very long time to say the obvious thing.For readers of Beach Read, The Kiss Quotient, and People We Meet on Vacation, and for anyone who has ever said 'I don't even like K-pop' and then lost four hours to a fan forum at midnight.…
