Soft cover. Condition: New. Shadow Men A thick mist envelops an isolated house and a cottage atop a hill. Raseel, looking out from her window, hears the sound of shots. Suddenly the mist parts, and three men come into view, furtive, quick. Then they are gone, and there is silence. Raseel, visiting her old school friend Aila in Shillong, is determined to get to the truth behind the strange death of a 'dkhar', an outsider, in the grounds of her hosts' house. Why was he killed? Who are the killers? As she begins to unravel the mystery, Raseel finds herself caught in a tale of intrigue and violence that mirrors the world of insurgency around her. The tense and dramatic undercurrents that emerge in Shadow Men continue in the stories that follow. In 'The Flight', eighteen-year-old Mawii has to make a difficult decision between her 'own people' and her one true lovewhen that love involves a 'vai'yet another word for 'outsider'. And in 'The Limp', octogenarian Nipendro Roy finally feels he 'belongs' in this hill state to which he came as a twenty-year-old immigrant from Bengal. Shillong remains the true hero in these stories, as Bijoya Sawian draws the reader into a world where the downside of a matrilineal society, the scourge of drugs, alcohol and corrupt politicians, the disconnect with mainstream India, and above all, the fight for identity and belonging, threaten to rock this idyllic hill state that was once a paradise and, perhaps, no longer is.
