Milleen (47 KP) rated Paris for One and Other Stories in Books

Nov 14, 2018 (Updated Nov 14, 2018)

Top up on hapless heroines and romance in this year's collection of eleven beautifully crafted short stories. Jojo Moyes is a skilful spinner of characters and fantasy male/female relationships and this short collection is just as satisfying as her novels. The protagonists are warm and slightly quirky which makes them endearing and memorable. If you haven't read a book for a while, short stories are just what you need to warm up your reading habits this winter. Several stories in this collection will get you hooked on Moyes light hearted take on the world

I loved The Kite Runner and A Thousand Splendid Suns and was not disappointed with And The Mountains Echoed. Hosseini is a masterful writer whose storytelling is arresting, captivating and spellbinding. Each of the stories in this book are beautiful. It is a particularly admirable skill to write stories that are so thought-provoking, but are still gripping and compelling. The themes of family, what makes us human, the beautiful personal perspectives and the evocative locations of the stories all combine to make this book immensely rich and hugely enjoyable. Just brilliant!
