Clara Whitfield arrives at The Meadows exhausted-burned out by corporate ambition, hollowed by a year of quiet desperation, and hoping a fresh start in a gated community will finally stitch her life back together. Her husband Arthur is already thriving in his new job, energized by a promotion that came impossibly fast. Their neighbors are immaculate, welcoming, impossibly content.

And yet.

The roses bloom in four days. The bread rises on command. A low hum lives in the walls, patient and warm, pulsing like a heartbeat beneath the marble kitchen island. When Clara's new friend Sarah gashes her foot on broken ceramic, the wound knits itself shut-without a single drop of blood.

By the time Clara discovers the leather-bound book hidden in the crawlspace, she's already been cooking from it for weeks. Already been feeding her family from its pages. Already been offering something she never knew she was giving.

Because the house doesn't ask for love.

It asks for what love costs.

About the Author

Wind Amiras writes psychological and literary fiction that explores identity, love, grief, and the subtle ways people shape each other over time. Spanning thriller, horror, and mystery, his stories circle around a deceptively simple question: what does it truly mean to know someone - or even yourself - in a world where who we are can quietly shift, fracture, or be rewritten?

He is drawn to the dark edges of human experience - the fears we don't name, the secrets we bury, and the unsettling feeling that something, just beneath the surface, is not quite right.

Beyond fiction, Wind writes on lifestyle, health, and personal growth, translating complex ideas into accessible insights through eBooks and articles.

Based in Jakarta, Indonesia, he is an entrepreneur whose work has always required the same instinct that drives his fiction: the habit of looking beneath the surface and asking why. That curiosity - precise, patient, resistant to easy answers - shapes everything he writes.

Deliberate. Layered. Always reaching for something truer.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free.
