In The Carpathians, Janet Frame again calls into question the human facility to communicate. Relocated New Yorker Mattina Brecon attempts to get to know her neighbors on Kowhai Street, where she has taken up temporary residence in order to research the Memory Flower for which her new town is famous. One night she awakens to find her neighbors screaming without human language, covered by a midnight rain of glittering specks that are the ashes of language. The townspeople mysteriously disappear, leaving Mattina alone. Her own memories and the frightening novel of a stranger that tells the story of Mattina herself are all that she has to trace the mystery.

This book provides a comprehensive narrative of the working of the Supreme Court of India. It assesses the collective strength and fragility of the Supreme Court as an institution of governance. The author traces the establishment of the Supreme Court of India and studies its role vis-a-vis the Constitution, examining the challenges which the court has had to face in nearly six decades. Covering areas such as rule of law, human rights, personal liberty, secularism, gender justice, rights of minorities, etc., the author analyses the various judgments given by the Supreme Court, highlighting where it has failed or faultered and where its role has been exemplary. He also examines the Indian Judiciary's relations with the Executive and the Legislature and studies the manner in which the constitution was amended from time to time, critically examining the 'objective' and 'purpose' of these amendments. The author also critically examines the judgments of the court dealing with the appointment and transfer of judges, arguing that independence of the Judiciary is not a luxury but a constitutional imperative, necessary to sustain and stabilize democracy.
