Rakhi, a young artist and divorced mother living in Berkeley, California, is struggling to keep her footing with her family and with a world in alarming transition. Her mother is a dream teller, born with the ability to share and interpret the dreams of others, to foresee and guide them through their fates. This gift of vision fascinates Rakhi but also isolates her from her mother's past in India and the dream world she inhabits, and she longs for something to bring them closer. Caught beneath the burden of her own painful secret, Rakhi's solace comes in the discovery, after her mother's death, of her dream journals, which begin to open the long-closed door to her past.]]></description><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C904233</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C904233</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/904233095</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385506830/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Queen of Dreams]]></title><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C411596</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C411596</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2004 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/411596095</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385506823/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Last Queen]]></title><description><![CDATA[She rose from commoner to become the last reigning queen of India's Sikh Empire. In this dazzling novel, based on true-life events, bestselling author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni presents the unforgettable story of Jindan, who transformed herself from daughter of the royal kennel keeper to powerful monarch. Sharp-eyed, stubborn, and passionate, Jindan was known for her beauty. When she caught the eye of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, she was elevated to royalty, becoming his youngest and last queen-and his favorite. And when her son, barely six years old, unexpectedly inherited the throne, Jindan assumed the regency. She transformed herself from pampered wife to warrior ruler, determined to protect her people and her son's birthright from the encroaching British Empire. Defying tradition, she stepped out of the zenana, cast aside the veil, and conducted state business in public, inspiring her subjects in two wars. Her power and influence were so formidable that the British, fearing an uprising, robbed the rebel queen of everything she had, but nothing crushed her indomitable will.]]></description><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1721771</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C1721771</guid><category><![CDATA[DAISY]]></category><category><![CDATA[und]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1721771095</comments><format>DAISY</format><subtitle>A Novel Of Courage And Resistance</subtitle><language>und</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781039560895/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oleander Girl]]></title><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C897468</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C897468</guid><category><![CDATA[LPRINT]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/897468095</comments><format>LPRINT</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781410459886/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oleander Girl]]></title><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C832096</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C832096</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/832096095</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781451695687/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[One Amazing Thing]]></title><description><![CDATA[Late afternoon in a passport and visa office in California, nine people are in the office when an earthquake rips through the building trapping these nine together struggling to survive.]]></description><link>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C654291</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S95C654291</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Divakaruni, Chitra Banerjee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://calgary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/654291095</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781401394950/MC.GIF&amp;client=calgp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Palace of Illusions]]></title><description><![CDATA[The palace of illusions takes us back to a time that is half history, half myth, and wholly magical.
