"I tore through this timely novel of family, marriage, love and politics. By turns insightful, poignant and laugh-out-loud funny,&nbsp;How To Sleep at Night&nbsp;is a delight."--&nbsp;J. Courtney Sullivan,&nbsp;New York Times&nbsp;Bestselling author of&nbsp;Friends and Strangers A witty and whip-smart novel about love, marriage, and family ties stretched thin by ambition. Meet Ethan and Gabe. A devoted couple for years, they have successful careers, an adorable daughter, and a house in the New Jersey suburbs. Sure, they may have drifted to different ends of the political spectrum, but their marriage still has its spark. Then one night Ethan makes an announcement: he wants to run for Congress as a Republican--but only if he has progressive Gabe's blessing. For weeks a slightly queasy Gabe struggles between supporting his husband and maintaining his own lefty ideals.&nbsp;He can feel himself slowly pulled under the tide of Ethan's ambitions, even as he becomes widely known as a conservative spouse.&nbsp;&nbsp; In a nearby town, suburban mom Nicole wonders what happened to her younger self--living in New York City, freely dating men and women, and on a path to a career in the art world. Nicole feels like an accessory in her husband's life and like she's given up on the goals she had for herself.&nbsp;Then an old flame re-enters her life unexpectedly. That woman is Ethan's sister Kate. A political reporter at a major newspaper, Kate has reached the top of her profession.&nbsp;But the adrenaline rush of chasing a story has lost its thrill.&nbsp;&nbsp;When Nicole--the woman who broke her heart--slides into her DMs just as her brother starts his controversial congressional run, Kate's life is thrown into a tailspin that threatens to derail the success she's worked so hard to achieve. "A sharply funny exploration of marriage and ambition, How to Sleep at Night has the feel of whispered secrets exchanged over cocktails with your smartest friend."-Jenny Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Pineapple Street "This wonderful debut is about the rough and tumble road that true love represents for all of us." -- James McBride, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Heaven and Earth Grocery Store

Theravada Buddhism and the British Encounter (Routledge Critical Studies in Buddhism)

This major new work explores the British encounter with Buddhism in nineteenth century Sri Lanka, examining the way Buddhism was represented and constructed in the eyes of the British scholars, officials, travellers and religious seekers who first encountered it.  Tracing the three main historical phases of the encounter from 1796 to 1900, the book provides a sensitive and nuanced exegesis of the cultural and political influences that shaped the early British understanding of Buddhism and that would condition its subsequent transmission to the West.  Expanding our understanding of inter-religious relations between Christians and Buddhists, the book fills a significant gap in the scholarship on Theravada Buddhism in Sri Lanka by concentrating on missionary writings and presenting a thorough exploration of original materials of several important pioneers in Buddhist studies and mission studies.
