Description:Kattuvalli, a sleepy, peace-loving small town, nestled in coastal Kerala wakes up to a gruesome murder in which all the male members of the Shastri clan have been axed to death in a mindless terrorist attack. In the Shadow of Legends is the disquieting saga of a family, in particular, the women, sucked into the vortex of a ruthless ideological warfare spanning two nations, India and the erstwhile Soviet Union. Through Swati, the novel bears witness to a blazing history from Tipu Sultan s violent reign, through the dreadful Conscience League-ridden years, to the traumatic pre-Perestroika Soviet experience. Scarred by the brutal family legacy, Swati flees to Russia, to Misha, the breakaway son of Russian intellectuals. The narrative follows the shy flowering of love between them under repressive circumstances, wrought by the secret machinations of an indifferent and devouring system. Notwithstanding the chastening fractious burden of history and politics, ultimately, Swati s story is a story of survival, the courageous tale of the spirit that refuses to buckle under the weight of the tidal wave of conflicting ideologies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
