These are creatures that know not pristine lands, but terror-fields ravaged by famine and war.Amidst such wreckage, they become prayers and prophecies, omens and oracles, messengers of gods and winged-gods themselves, holding within their wildly beating hearts news of an afterlife - Someone said, when children die, they become birds \/ in heaven.An extraordinary collection that navigates the deep entanglements between massacre, ageing and memory, Egrets, While War tells of a world where exile and extinction press close - The dirge of loss recovery \/ loss loss loss continues - but it offers, too, against the odds, a possibility of coming out alive: bedazzled, birdlike and blue-throated. Now scream, Tishani Doshi tells us, now sing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crossword.in","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49113788219609,"sku":"BK0544204","price":449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/3066\/9017\/files\/71dxnNk_eiL._SL1500.jpg?v=1787201858","url":"https:\/\/www.crossword.in\/products\/egrets-while-war","provider":"Crossword.in ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
