True to its description the book was NOT a romance anthology but one that focusses on the various forms of love – the forms often ignored in literature. Each story is placed in a different part of the world and the narration reeks of the essence of that place. In a nutshell, the stories in this anthology span a wide range of “love” topics. From obsession to mistrust, from loss to disillusion, the emotions explored in the stories make each one unique. I like how the anthology addresses issues that aren’t typically addressed in ‘love stories.’
