Shanti by Vikram Chandra is a series of stories within a story. Chandra makes the most of the brevity of this story, managing to craft an intricate narrative of recounted tales merging with the present. This is a story of loss, and of healing. I read this book in one sitting, partly because it it's so short, but mostly because I was so captivated by Chandra's use of language. This book seemed to be much larger than it is, spiralling off seamlessly into the past while still offering character development in the present. Definitely recommend this to any fans of short stories!
