Romance
Shorts
Author: Sourabh Mukherjee
Publisher: Pothi.com
Rating: 3/5
‘Never judge a book by its cover’ is what fits
best for this thin book. With less number of pages and simple cover, the book
might not seem appealing in the very first look. But wait! There is more to
this than expected. The author, with his exemplary vocabulary and conspicuous
flair for words, has succeeded in touching the hearts of the readers.
‘Romance shorts’ is a compilation of
four short stories that are intriguing as well as cut above the others. It is
said the Love always finds its way. But what happens when things do not turn
out the way you expect them to? The first story- ‘Nargis through my summers’ is
a very good narrative that opens doors of imagination. But somehow the title
did not quite match with what the plot had to offer.
‘Mine forever’, although predictable,
yet was a streamlined read. The sequence of events in the story was fabulous
and the narration was fantastic. The third story ‘Memories’ is, yet again, a
very alluring read as the twists and turns have been placed properly. I liked
the way the author has placed one predictable and one unpredictable story in
the book.
Last but not the least, ‘Love came
calling again’ is a story that appeals to your mind and the narration makes it
more impactful. But all said and done, the presentation of the book is
something that is a total negative. Right from the cover to the font (style and
size), nothing has been taken care of. The editing has not been done properly
because time and again punctuation errors can be found.
The commendable use of new words and
phrases and creativity has made the author successful in knocking the socks of
the readers. The plot of each story is twisted and you cannot afford to miss
even a single page in order to keep the flow of the story going. The language
is simple and clear.
Best wishes to the author!
