Silhouettes of Time by Dr. Maya Mitra Das is a hauntingly beautiful literary journey that breathes life into forgotten voices, long-buried memories, and the quiet strength of the human spirit. From the very first page, Das invites readers into a world that transcends borders and generations, where every story pulses with emotional truth and poetic power.

At Bookwrights House, we are proud to present this profound and deeply moving collection, now available through major online retailers. Silhouettes of Time is more than a book-it is a legacy of resilience and remembrance. Dr. Das, a physician by profession and artist by nature, blends the precision of a healer with the soul of a storyteller. Her stories are not simply told, they are felt. Through her vivid imagery and lyrical prose, she captures the silent anguish of displacement, the fire of youthful defiance, and the tenderness of love in impossible circumstances.

From the brutal 1946 Hindu-Muslim riots in Bengal, as seen through the eyes of young Manjari in "Manjari and the Ballad of Peace," to the delicate portrayal of forbidden love in "A Lily Blooms in Summer," Das crafts unforgettable moments with cinematic clarity. Her characters, especially the women, are courageous, graceful, and deeply human. They remind us that strength often lies not in the absence of fear, but in the decision to rise despite it.

Silhouettes of Time is a tribute to survival, to memory, and to the beauty that persists in the face of suffering. For readers seeking stories that challenge the heart and awaken the soul, this collection is a must-have. Join us in celebrating the artistry and humanity of Dr. Maya Mitra Das-a writer who heals not only with medicine but with words.
