Description
Faber Stories, a landmark series of individual volumes, presents masters of the short story form at work in a range of genres and styles.
Who was she? Where was she going? Why did she return?It is 1945, and twenty-year-old Shiv, grieving his identical twin brother, retreats to a small town in Uttar Pradesh.
He is preparing to jump onto the train tracks when he is stopped by the sight of a woman. Shanti's husband is a fighter pilot missing in Burma.
For the past three years she has travelled the country in search of him.
In every military hospital she visits she hears a new story, and every time she passes through Leharia she tells one to Shiv.
Through stories within stories Chandra tells a spiralling tale of loss, and of two wounded people becoming something new. Borrowing a structure from the Mahabharata, Vikram Chandra tells a spiralling story of loss, and of two wounded people becoming something new. Bringing together past, present and future in our ninetieth year, Faber Stories is a celebratory compendium of collectable work.
