Flickering Flames

About the Book

Freshly moistened with flickering possibilities from the heady encounter, he could hardly gather himself before destiny interfered again with another blow of reality. In a deft display of sprightly camaraderie, the author Joy Dasgupta picks up two pious souls who transcend the boundaries of friendship and plunges into the mystic world of romance with untamed senses for togetherness. With gripping warmth and unceasing emotion, the author's nuanced attempt to mirror the touch of destiny in their disjointed lives leaves the reader with immersive anticipation.
