Book excerpt: Mimosa's work, Told on the Pagoda: Tales of Burmah, is a literary classic. This book comprises tales from the Burmese people's old oral traditions. They were linked with early American missionaries who regarded them as a window into the Burmese culture and heart. The tale in this book is significant not just as a glimpse of individuals long forgotten, but also as a key to today's Myanmar men and women. The stories in this book are more than just old children's tales. They are also historical markers of a time and place, pointing back to a nation's pre-history and ahead to the Burmese people of the 21st century. These narratives are distinctive, exotic, and new, and will appeal to readers as children's stories, folklore, or cultural relics. Regardless of how we organize these stories, they are given here for your delight.

Book excerpt: "Mr. Lowe lives the simple and happy life of a contented shopkeeper. A Chinese immigrant to Jamaica in the 1890s, Lowe revels in the verdant surroundings of his adoptive land. But his mysterious past begins to confront Lowe in everything he does, and so his story emerges - the tale of his exile from China, his shipboard adventures, an unwanted pregnancy, and the arrangement of hidden identity that was made to avoid scandal. Lowe marries the beautiful widow Miss Sylvie as part of the arrangement, and their relationship is complex, vivid, and full of secrets. When his shop burns to the ground Lowe is forced to reckon with his past through the destruction of his disguises and the creation of a new dream: the building of a pagoda where culture and the past can be fully embraced." -- back cover.

They crept in and sank down, too weary to go further. There were signs of its having been recently occupied, but they did not heed them; and gnawed ravenously at some half-eaten bones that were strewed about. Then they curled themselves up in one corner and slept. After a few hours the lady dog woke up and looked about her. Through the opening she saw the moonlight falling on the country outside; everything was strangely still, save for the distant cry of the jackal, and the healthy snoring of her spouse, who reposed in the corner. She felt alarmed, she could not exactly have told why, and awakened her companion, who grumbled not a little at being thus rudely roused[...]".

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weaving together the uneasy meeting of two cultures, The Pagoda Tree is a captivating story of love, loss and fate. Tanjore, 1765. Maya plays among the towering granite temples of this ancient city in the heart of southern India. Like her mother before her, she is destined to become a devadasi, a dancer for the temple. She is instructed in dance, the mystical arts and lovemaking. It is expected she will be chosen as a courtesan for the prince himself. But as Maya comes of age, India is on the cusp of change and British dominance has risen to new heights. The prince is losing his power and the city is sliding into war. Maya is forced to flee her ancestral home, and heads to the bustling port city of Madras, where East and West collide. Maya captivates all who watch her dance. Thomas Pearce, an ambitious young Englishman who has travelled to India to make his fortune, is entranced from the moment he first sees her. But their love is forbidden, and comes at enormous cost. 'Claire Scobie's seductive prose and immaculate layering of period detail capture India at her most exotic.' Susan Kurosawa 'Women's stories are rarely told in history, nor particularly honoured. The Pagoda Tree offers a powerful, sensual perspective on a time of great transformation in India.' Sarah Macdonald, author of Holy Cow 'A rich and enthralling story handled with great skill by someone with a profound understanding of her material.' David Roach, screenwriter and film director 'A richly textured tale full of the sights, sounds and smells of India, with all its complex beauty and troubled history … ' Sydney Morning Herald 'A novel to be savoured … Its layering, the unravelling of the story, the subtext of the fortunes made and lost on cotton and silk, the evocative descriptions of saris themselves are all part of [its] tapestry.' The Age '[The Pagoda Tree] offers new ways of seeing the past.' Canberra Times 'Scobie's prose is eloquent … a fascinating, unique plot representing an interesting era in [India's] history.' The Mercury 'A story told with great panache.' Country Style 'Claire Scobie travels a vast and exotic terrain in her first novel.' Weekly Review 'This first novel by Claire Scobie would make a spectacular film.' Goodreading Magazine 'A nuanced and sophisticated exploration of the socio-historical realities that are inevitable when cultures collide.' The Hoopla
