Passion Flower : Seven Stories of Derangement by Cyrus MistryMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Vignettes from the lives of ‘ordinary’ people, not just Parsees for a change – although the Parsee stories are the juiciest – but a reflection of the wide spectrum of Indian society. These ‘ordinary’ souls and their humdrum lives turn out to be veritable psychiatric case files. There are cases of post-partum depression, paranoid delusions, psychotics, sociopaths, people dabbling in the black arts, eccentrics and the plain cussed.
Some stories have a rather inconclusive ending, hence the four stars.
