Building the Vibrant Future of Manufacturing

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From internationally renowned, award-winning author Salman Rushdie, a spellbinding exploration of life, death, and what comes into focus at the proverbial eleventh hour of life “An inventive and engrossing collection of stories which, though death-tinged, are never doom-laden. With luck this master writer has more tales to tell.”—Los Angeles Times A NEW YORKER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Rushdie turns his extraordinary imagination to life’s final act with a quintet of stories that span the three countries in which he has made his work—India, England, and America—and feature an unforgettable cast of characters. “In the South” introduces a pair of quarrelsome old men—Junior and Senior—and their private tragedy at a moment of national calamity. In “The Musician of Kahani,” a musical prodigy from the Mumbai neighborhood featured in Midnight’s Children uses her magical gifts to wreak devastation on the wealthy family she marries into. In “Late,” the ghost of a Cambridge don enlists the help of a lonely student to enact revenge upon the tormentor of his lifetime. “Oklahoma” plunges a young writer into a web of deceit and lies as he tries to figure out whether his mentor killed himself or faked his own death. And “The Old Man in the Piazza” is a powerful parable for our times about freedom of speech. Do we accommodate ourselves to death, or rail against it? Do we spend our “eleventh hour” in serenity or in rage? And how do we achieve fulfillment with our lives if we don’t know the end of our own stories? The Eleventh Hour ponders life and death, legacy and identity with the penetrating insight and boundless imagination that have made Salman Rushdie one of the most celebrated writers of our time.

A Quintet of Stories

The Eleventh Hour

What does it mean to call a place home? From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jeanine Cummins comes a deeply felt multigenerational family story On her wedding day in San Juan, Puerto Rico, in 1968, Rafaela Acuña y Daubón has mild misgivings, but she marries Peter Brennan Jr. anyway in a blaze of romantic optimism. She has no way of knowing how dramatically her life will change when she uproots her young family to start over in the American Midwest, unleashing a fleet of disappointments. In the 1980s, against the backdrop of her mother's isolation in St. Louis, Missouri, Rafaela's daughter, Ruth, wants only to belong. Eager to fit in, Ruth lets go of her language, habits, and childhood memories of Puerto Rico. It's not until decades later when Ruth's own daughter, Daisy, returns to San Juan that her mother and grandmother begin to truly reflect on the choices that have come to define their lives. When a hurricane ravages the island in 2023, leaving Daisy critically injured, Rafaela and Ruth return to the city where their story began. As they gather at Daisy's bedside, we follow them back into the moments that brought them to this point: We watch as they come of age, fall in love, take risks, and contend with all the heartbreaks, triumphs, and reversals of fortune-both good and bad-that make up a meaningful life. As old memories come to light, so do buried secrets, leaving everyone in the family wondering exactly where it is that they belong. A striking, resonant examination of marriage, family, and identity, Speak to Me of Home is ultimately a story of mothers and daughters that asks: How can three women who share geography and genetics have such wildly different ideas of where they come from? And, more important, can they discover a common language to find their way back home?

Felicia's Favourites is a powerful story of family secrets, and one mother's extraordinary legacy, from billion-copy bestselling author Danielle Steel. Felicia Weston leaves her five daughters more than just cherished memories as it is revealed that she led a double life keeping the long-held secret of her celebrated pen name and her extraordinary career as a famous bestselling novelist. Devastated at the loss of their mother, and wishing they'd known her better, the girls come together to learn that the legacy included a substantial inheritance and a picturesque Connecticut farmhouse, a sanctuary where Felicia wrote most of her novels and enjoyed a loving relationship of which her daughters had no knowledge. Each of the sisters is confronting a personal crossroads. From mending the scars of a disastrous marriage and navigating life-altering injuries, to untangling forbidden loves and facing the harsh light of truth on infidelity, each journey is as unique as the women themselves. Bound by blood and complexity, can the precious sanctuary their mother left behind be the catalyst for individual renewal and family unity? Or will it simply unravel the threads that bind them? The pain of loss brings blessings of its own. And love, betrayal, secrets, and the enduring legacy of one remarkable mother can transform lives forever.

Felicia's Favourites

You followed the rules.
You got the job.
You bought the house.

So why does it feel like you're losing?

For decades, men have been told that stability comes from obedience:

study hard, work late, take on debt, and trust that time will reward you.

But when you step back and look at the math - at the mortgages, the interest, the years traded away - the story doesn't hold.

The Old Money Blueprint is not a finance book in the modern sense.

It doesn't offer hacks, shortcuts, or motivational slogans. It is a long-form argument about how families quietly lose wealth over generations - and how a small number manage to build structures that endure.

Written for fathers and men who feel increasingly alienated by the standard path, this book examines the hidden assumptions behind "normal" life: education, careers, debt, consumption, and the unspoken expectations that shape them.

This book is not about becoming rich quickly.

It is about thinking in decades instead of quarters.

About building systems instead of chasing outcomes.

About accepting short-term difficulty in exchange for long-term freedom.

Some readers will find these ideas clarifying.
Most will find them uncomfortable.

Both are necessary for growth.

The Old Money Blueprint is meant to be read slowly, returned to, and lived with.

For those who recognize themselves in its pages, it becomes less a book about money - and more a blueprint for what kind of ancestor they intend to be.
