There seems to be a ghost in the hills.
At least, ten lives seem to think so.
But what is that one salient truth that binds them all?
Whispers in the Mist is a map of human fragility and spirit, where grief becomes a guide.
Sometimes, spotting a stray cat carries meaning. Set against the lush backdrop of Darjeeling, these stories have one thing in common.
They are as haunting as healing.
Prerna enchants with her pen dipped in the rich folklore of a small hill village. She takes us through an unsettling yet reflective journey where the dead refuse to rest. And perhaps consequently, the living are never quite the same.
Shadowed by hills and haunted by memory, Gayatri wanders—her sorrow touching ten special lives surrounded by echoes from the past. From broken families to fractured dreams, Whispers in the Mist unwinds knots in those invisible threads that connect us all.
A powerful blend of myth, emotion, and storytelling, this is a book that lingers long after the final page. Much like the mist-draped hills of Darjeeling do when a traveller catches a glimpse of them and returns home.
Explore the tales of a spirit that lingers—watching, grieving, searching. Know those who are touched by Gayatri's love and loss.
And get ready to face that one truth along with the ten unlikely lives Prerna writes about.
Anchored in ancient Himalayan folklore and undying human resilience, Whispers in the Mist is a tribute to the pain, pathos, and beauty of simply being.
