- Description
The Fuss about Queens and Other Stories by Darius Cooper - Om Books
About the Book :The Fuss About Queens and Other Stories takes the reader through the charming world of the Parsis in Mumbai who live in a cultural and historical time warp in which the fire temple, the agiary, the tower of silence are enriched with tomes of Dostoevsky, period furniture and the British monarch�s portrait in the drawing room. Each story is a brilliant and moving portrayal of the unbearable lightness of the human condition.
