‘Towers of Silence' By Berjis Desai: Book Review

Berjis Desai is very popular for his comic delivery and he proved his satirical writings once again through his debut fiction novel ‘Towers of Silence' . He has written many books based on Parsi culture. Therefore, this is the first time he’s bringing the fictional story that beamed with magical essence.

The author illustrates the crusade to save towers of Silence. The story, in short, underlines the connection between love and death. Towers of Silence book will make anyone feel different emotions like emotional, mystical, heartbreaking as well as funny at the same time.

It is the story of a Parsi Clan that was set 140 years ago in the ancient town of Navsari. The book captures the narrative of a primitive Zoroastrian group battling curses, bubonic plague, failed marriages with first cousins, and malicious tantrics.

Baba, the Sufi saint, the character in the story plays a significant role in the whole story.
