Following a Jewish family from before World War II to the
not-too-distant future, this collection of loosely linked short stories
explores the experiences of Marjorie, a baby boomer; her mother, Alice;
and the friends and family that make up their community over the
decades. As they each pursue higher education and choose career paths,
both mother and daughter encounter challenges as they make choices
within a changing society—from in-law problems to illness to
antisemitism and beyond.
Sometimes poignant, sometimes humorous, Remember to Eat takes on themes
including patriarchy, technology, the changing role of women, the
challenges of raising children, the COVID-19 pandemic, complex family
relationships, and what it means to be a Jew with empathy and insight.
Ultimately, the twenty-two stories contained in these pages offer not
only an intimate journey into these women’s lives but also an
illuminating portrait of the times in which they live.
When Mrs Ramsay tells her guests at her summer house on the Isle of
Skye that they will be able to visit the nearby lighthouse the
following day, little does she know that this trip will only be
completed ten years later by her husband, and that a gulf of war,
grief and loss will have opened in the meantime. As each character
tries to readjust their memories and emotions with the shifts of
time and reality, this long-delayed excursion will also prove to be
a journey of self-discovery and fulfilment for them. Rich in
symbolism, daring in style, elegiac in tone and encapsulating
Virginia Woolf's ideas on life, art and human relationships, To the
Lighthouse is a landmark of twentieth-century literature and one of
the high points of early Modernism.
After putting on a successful and sensual(?) show of food tasting at the garden banquet, Maomao is the talk of the palace!

Her collection of hairpins from the event brings the young herbalist a brief window of freedom beyond the palace walls, as she returns to the pleasure district for the first time in ten months! But while reunions with her father and her friends await, so too does another mystery…
After explaining to Jinshi the circumstances behind the poisoned cup at the garden party, Maomao returns home to the pleasure district for the first time in ten months, thanks to the ornate hairpin she received at the party. But there, she gets swept up in yet another mystery?!
Griffith, the mutilated leader of the Band of the Hawk mercenaries, offers up his command to the demon lords of the Godhand in exchange for a rebirth into beauty–and terrible power. But the Hawks’ berserker champion, Guts, will take on perdition itself to save his lover, Casca, from the profane violations that only Hell can offer!
