#TOS is a simple, sweet reminder that life has a silver lining. One might see the dark night but a handful of stars will twinkle back at you. Ten stories, each different and fresh, make an ideal short read. All stand-alone and pack a punch. These stories with our everyday life as a backdrop will find approval with everyone. They bring out our humane side and the crazy side too. Passion, ambition, emotions, family, friendship, love and life are intertwined in these tales.
As is the norm with Sundari’s books, Tales of Sunshine has a simple, crisp language that gets to the heart of the issue. No unnecessary fluff to distract the reader. It is a fast read as well, since the stories are not linked. Each new story makes a fresh start.
I have edited this collection by Sundari Venkatraman so this book, Tales Of Sunshine, is special for me but still there were a couple of stories that stand out. I found A Promise Given very relevant and reflective of our times today.
Exam Fever is a lesson for all of us mothers and I am sure I have been like Renu at some point in my life too. (What was I thinking?)
Until Death Us Do Part is a fact of life for many and the sad reality is these women do not know how to get out. A must-read.
The Elephant In The Room is my favourite story and a perfect ending to this collection about us as individuals, as friends and as what we see and think of ourselves.
I recommend this light and fresh read. The backdrop, and stories, true to its name, will brighten your day. Go grab a little Sunshine!
(I received a book copy from the author for beta-reading and editing. This is my honest opinion.)
