Summary of the Book

Many of us are still hoping to find different ways to get away from violence and corruption. Dolmens are single-chambered tombs that were constructed during the Neolithic period. In this book, it is used as a metaphor to explore the meaning of life and death. The book is about three brothers: one has migrated to Canada, the second finds a job in a Delhi based NGO, and the third has been asked to quit his job. Will the brothers be able to fulfill their dreams and aspirations? Will they be inspired by the dolmens that taught them how to live in harmony?
