Publisher's Summary:

Meet Akhila: 45 and single, an income-tax clerk, and a woman who has never been allowed to live her own life - always the daughter, the sister, the aunt, the provider - until the day she gets herself a one-way ticket to the seaside town of Kanyakumari. In the intimate atmosphere of the all-women sleeping car - the 'Ladies Coupe' - Akhila asks the five women the question that has been haunting her all her adult life: can a woman stay single and be happy, or does she need a man to feel complete?

This wonderfully atmospheric, deliciously warm novel takes the listener into the heart of women's lives in contemporary India, revealing how the dilemmas that women face in their relationships with hunsbands, mothers, friends, employers and children are the same world over.

Akila - A Trendsetting Modern Woman

This novel about Akila's life was engrossing, and the path she travels and the decision she takes were masterfully portrayed by Anita Nair in her own way. Being from Madras, this novel is more closer to my heart as she travels the roads of Ambattur, the train travels, bus travel to office in Nungambakkam. the recipes of Murukku, Cheedai, etc. just made me reminisce by older days when my grandma used to do lot of eateries during weekends, holidays, and festivals. Also, the other characters, Akila's family and friends, were well etched. Overall, it's a nice read with some heavy plots at the end of the novel, like one that of Marikolunthu's characters had a great impact on me. Also, not to forget the scene of Akila's father's demise and how she takes the burden in her shoulder as a family woman just made me cry. A BIG THUMBS-UP.

This was a terrific story to read

This was a terrific story to read. It is well written and certainly has the air of truth in it.

I bought the book in French and gave it to my wife who also enjoyed this book.

She has passed it on to other members of her family and pretty much everyone feels

the same about the book as it is one of those books that we all were glad to have read.

Great Read!

I am not the most famaliar person with Indian culture, what I do know is from Slumdog Millionaire, one or two travel books and talking with a few. I absolutely enjoyed this book, and it was very easy to follow thru the day to day Indian culture, and it was very educating.

This book was also a literary joy to read, its funny, heartfelt and explains all battles that women face with themselves, society stereotypes, and what other people expect of them. Of course not every person in the book has a happy story, which is sort of refreshing. When I read this book, I kept thinking of the old Thousand and One Arabian Nights book, the style and rhythm was very similiar.

A promising start with a lost middle and trying to please end.

The Book offers a promising start, but in the middle, the reader(me) gets lost in the excessive and un-chronological narration of the co-passengers. Gladly, the end again goes back to the lead person and her life, without leaving it in the middle. It might be a good book but I certainly don't think it's the best book I ever read on women!

The ladies coupe book review

This was a beautifully-written thoroughly engrossing story of Indian women from different socio-economic and religious backgrounds who share their life stories on an overnight train journey.

Title: The Better Man

Author: Anita Nair

Narrator: Sartaj Garewal

Format: Unabridged

Length: 11 hrs and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 02-06-17

Publisher: Audible Studios

Genres: Fiction, Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

A magical, inventive novel about one man's struggle to find his place in the small Indian village of his birth.

In Anita Nair's warm and imaginative first novel, middle-aged Acuthan Nair returns home to restore his childhood house and to confront old ghosts. When he begins the project, he hires the town painter, One-Screw-Loose Bhasi, to oversee the renovation, and the two men quickly develop a close friendship. Bhasi, who has a special talent for healing the wounded, helps Acuthan come to terms with his mother's violent death and teaches him how to stand up to his overbearing, manipulative father. But when members of the town elite tempt Acuthan with a chance at gaining the status he's always craved, his loyalty to Bhasi is tested.

The Better Man is a playful and moving account of the redemptive power of friendship.

Members Reviews:

A good Book about Kerala

I happen to read Anita Nair's "The Better Man". I really liked the book for the ways in which she has portrayed Kerala. It is most of the time close to the reality. Unlike Arunthathy Roy, she doesn't invent or vulgarize English language. She speaks the truth with all idiosyncrasies of Kerala Culture. More over she has left out any sensational issues like kerala-politics and religion.

Who is this for?

With many a fiction being released with exotic corners of the world in the backdrop, `The Better Man' has the entire recipe for a potential blockbuster in that category, but for some reason fails to emulate even a `God of Small Things'. The reason, I believe lies in the basics of writing: the author failed to identify the audience of the book. With the globalization taking the literary world on stride, it is hard, but still important for the producer (author) to clearly identify the consumer (reader) for success (effective communication).

The story of Kaikkurussi has all the ingredients for an interesting netherworld tale. There is the curious Bhasi who can look into the minds and cure them with the help of exotic herbs and pure commonsense. There is the protagonist Mukundan, who discovers and rediscovers himself with the help of Bhasi. There are the images of death, tyranny, submission, defiance and ultimate tragedy of the various other characters with the Kerala social setup in the background. But the author fails to build the necessary background for a person unfamiliar with the society to digest all this. At the same time, for a native, the book does not provide anything new or exciting as there have been similar books written before, albeit in the local vernacular. It appears Anita Nair had the former category of readers in mind.

I would point to Marquez's Macondo (One Hundred Years of Solitude) as the epitome of the stories of other lands, factual or fictitious. It is amazing how skillfully and seamlessly Marquez weaves the strands of the land, people, society, culture and times of Macondo with a strong story line in the foreground. May be that is a little unfair a benchmark to new writers like Nair.

A brilliant work

A simple tale told in a very beautiful manner. With the use of simple language, but still not losing the charm, Anitha Nair has done a wonderful job. Simplicity, detailing of characters and environment, and a good story are the trade marks of this book. Picturized in the malabar region of kerala, in a village called kaikurussi, the novel tells the story of a man,Mukundan who returns to his village to settle down after retirement.

Résumé de l'éditeur:

Arianne et François sont mariés depuis cinq ans, quand un accident d'automobile rend ce dernier tétraplégique. Toute une épreuve pour cet homme à l'avenir brillant, fils d'un financier qui a bâti une immense fortune à force de bras et de travail. Assommée par les événements, Arianne perd le bébé qu'elle portait et tout espoir d'enfanter à nouveau. Mais avec courage, elle refoule sa détresse pour se consacrer aux soins de son mari, au point de s'oublier totalement. Or, il s'avère vite que la tâche est lourde, trop même...

Au bout d'un an, Arianne se rend à l'évidence qu'elle ne peut plus y arriver seule et engage Ursule, une infirmière qu'elle a connue dans son enfance. Avec son aide, elle parvient à mener une existence normale et surtout, à reprendre goût à la vie.

C'est là que survient l'impensable. Alors qu'elle gère un hôtel appartenant au trust qu'a fondé son beau-père, elle s'adjoint l'aide de William Rancourt, un comptable froid, réservé et taciturne. Or, au cours de leur étroite collaboration, elle se surprend peu à peu à l'apprécier, et même à ressentir des sentiments troubles en sa présence. William s'est introduit dans son cœur à son insu : mais est-ce de l'amour ou une simple attirance sexuelle ?

Tiraillée par mille sentiments contradictoires, la jeune femme devra se dépêtrer dans ce maelström émotif, alors que l'état de son mari se détériore inexorablement.

Titel: Kannibalen Survival Guide 1

Autor:: Marlon Baker

Erzähler: Marlon Baker

Format: Unabridged

Spieldauer: 1 hr and 6 mins

Sprache: Deutsch

Veröffentlichungsdatum: 01-31-17

Herausgeber: mysteria Verlag

Kategorien: Fiction, Contemporary

Zusammenfassung des Herausgebers:

Viele können noch immer nicht verstehen oder nachvollziehen, warum ich mich als Autor mit dem Thema Kannibalismus so sehr beschäftige. Doch wenn wir einmal einen Blick in meine Vergangenheit werfen, wird es offensichtlich, warum ich Blut geleckt habe an diesem Thema. Ich bezeichne meine Arbeit als Aufklärung, da ich um den alltäglichen Kannibalismus weiß, der uns praktisch überall begegnen kann. Und wer jetzt glaubt, dass das Verzehren von Menschenfleisch weit weg von uns ist, dem muss ich hier eines Besseren belehren. Denn der Kannibalismus sowie die damit oft einhergehende Ausbeutung anderer ist auch in unserer Nachbarschaft zu finden.

Daher möchte ich mit meinem "Kannibalen Survivals Guide" darauf hinweisen, wie man eventuelle Gefahren erkennt, und vor allem, welchen historischen Hintergrund Kannibalismus hat. Zwar wurde in der Vergangenheit immer wieder übertrieben oder gar die Geschichte verfälscht, da die Geschichte ja stets von den Gewinnern geschrieben wird, nie aber von den Verlierern unserer Zeit. Doch es gibt genügend Belege dafür, dass es den Verzehr von Menschenfleisch zu allen Zeiten und in allen Kulturen gegeben hat, sogar in der unsrigen!
