When a brahmin priest rescues a tiger from a cage, he is shocked when the tiger threatens to eat him. The tiger argues that there is no reason why he shouldn't eat the brahmin, because he says that humans are the most ungrateful creatures on earth. The tiger agrees to spare him if the brahmin can find a witness who doesn't believe that all humans are ungrateful.

Sitting in her grandmother Dhanna's kitchen, surrounded by the aromas of mint and the smoke of a hookah, warmed by the kangri tucked beneath her thighs, young Sudha Koul listened to tales of She Who Fears Nothing: The Tiger Lady, stories Sudha would repeat to her own daughters in time, though in a kitchen many thousands of miles away from her beloved Kashmir. This is a magical memoir of a land now consumed by political and religious turmoil, a richly detailed story of a girl's passage into maturity, marriage, and motherhood in the midst of an exquisite and fragile world that will never be entirely the same.

About the Book A FAST-MOVING SEQUEL TO THE BRAHMIN, SET IN THE IMMEDIATE AFTERMATH OF EMPEROR ASHOKA’S DEVASTATION OF KALINGA After thwarting the malicious Kalingan general Lord Suma and becoming the emperor of Magadha, Ashoka is now faced with a new threat—a faceless foe whose only aim is to topple his empire. His brutal killings of Magadhan officials, kidnappings of royal prisoners and infiltrating of the royal palace of Tamralipti weave a mesh of hatred, intrigue and menace. No one knows who he is, yet he breathes such terror into his network of followers that even a dying man fears uttering his name. He calls himself the Khandapati. There’s only one man in the empire that Ashoka can turn to. Spurred on by years of friendship and sworn loyalty, the Brahmin finds himself back in the royal capital, caught in a violent conspiracy that extends beyond Magadhan boundaries. Will he be able to live up to his role as the protector of the empire or is the merciless villain more than a match for the Brahmin?

About the Book A FAST-PACED THRILLER SET IN THE TIMES OF EMPEROR ASHOKA It is a time of violence as well as calm. Men of peace are spreading the message of the Buddha even as monks are being tortured in the dungeons of Pataliputra. In Magadha, all talk is about the impending war against Kalinga. While King Ashoka plots the movements of his ships and cavalry, Queen Asandhimitra broods over the growing unrest in the kingdom. There is only one man they can both trust to take them through this period of uncertainty and looming danger: the enigmatically named Brahmin, skilful spymaster and custodian of Magadha’s best-kept secrets. Lush with historical detail and unforgettable characters, The Brahmin is an intricately plotted novel that seeks to recreate a near-mythical period in India’s past.

Born in Calcutta and schooled in Poughkeepsie, Madison, Manhattan, beautiful, luminous Tara leaves her American husband behind as she journeys back to India. But the Calcutta she finds on her return -- seething with strikes, riots, and unrest -- is vastly different from the place she remembers. In this taut, ironic tale of colliding cultures, Tara seeks to reconcile the old world -- that of her father, the redoubtable Bengal Tiger -- and the brash new one that is being so violently ushered in. In this, her first novel, Mukherjee claimed as her subject the shock, uneasiness, and haphazard transformation that are part of the immigrant experience -- a theme she has masterfully woven into her subsequent novels, Wife and Jasmine, and into The Middleman and Other Stories, for which she won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
