The Book -Wings of Silence by the Young Writer Sriram Iyer is

This book shows the true relationship between the brothers as we know blood is thicker than water.I liked the book and it's title too, as it is an indication that silence also has wings.

This book is a visual treat as one will feel like reading this book continuously as every page grips you with this unquenchable thirst that keeping the book down is next to imposs...

When you start reading Wings of Silence, you tend to go back and recheck if Shriram Iyer is a first time author!!. Read on to know why..

The read starts of with a glimpse of Ajay Sethi, a man of few words. The breadwinner of a typical Indian Family,who has the voice in the house.

For Ajay Sethi , an ex Air India Official, Discipline and success comes easily to him. Expecting the same from his Sons are something of second nature for him.

His sons Raj Sethi and Saurav Sethi as as different a...

This book stands out as one with rare accolades of telling a story in a smooth flow. Author has done a splendid job on his first project. The protagonist of book is neither Raj or Saurav sethi, it is the unnerving self belief and determination to achieve something exhibited by both of them. The message of the book delivers home - how an indomitable spirit is the linking pin between Hard work and Success.

A deaf boy who lives in India in the 1970s cowers beneath his younger brother who faces no challenges in life. A dominating Father from the airforce and a submissive Indian mother take the household to the US where life is different for them all. While in the US, Raj Sethi, the deaf boy, battles several challenges - he is deaf, cannot fit in, cannot speak, battles depression. He finds his true calling - Marathon running - and decides he wants to win Gold in Moscow in the 1980 Olympics.

What an inspiring story!

The author has done full justice to the story. The book reflects a very strong research on deaf people and especially their life back in the 70s.

The novel has a strong, very interesting and heart touching storyline. One can really connect and relate to the feelings & emotions of all the characters, Raj’s desire to achieve his dream and Saurav’s faith and love for his brother in the story. The suspense keeps you reading. All the characters are very interesting and...

Shriram Iyer’s Wings of Silence touched many emotions which perfectly depicted a family drama, passion, determination, and a fight for survival. Intelligently crafted to capture the minds of the audience right from the very beginning steadily building up the hunger to know what happens next. Characters so beautifully personalized made you feel strong emotions towards them. I was sad when I finished this novel because i wanted more. Cannot wait for Mr Iyer’s next release.

The kind everyone can relate to, the main character is NOT perfect, but is rather a realistic reflection of what we would be like if we were in his position - this only makes his story more compelling and his sacrifices more heartwrenching. The suspense keeps you reading, and the desire to see Saurav attain not only a "win" but also self-confidence, and self-appreciation, grows with every page. I recommend this book to anyone who likes reading realistic, well-researched stories with a believa...

Completed the book in 7-8 hours.. It's an absolute page-turner. The awesome bond between Saurav and Raj and the way it is portrayed, its just amazing. The love between the two brothers, the love of relatives, the way Raj copes up with his challenge... Every detail is carefully explained and that makes the book even more beautiful. Waiting for the next one...
