Title: Shanti – Faber Stories
Author: CHANDRA VIKRAM
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. Borrowing a structure from the Mahabharata, through stories within stories Chandra tells a spiralling tale of loss, and of two wounded people becoming something new.
