Reader reviews:
"Truly like a box of chocolates, something for everyone, lovely short stories. There's dark, light, salty, and sweet, my favorites being the darker stories! I always enjoy the author's beautifully descriptive prose, takes me away to far flung locales, exactly what we all need these days!"
"As per her usual style each story draws you in from the very first sentence. Each story has a completely different narrator and is written in beautifully rich prose. In this book the stories are set in different countries and even ages. But Poornima took care to enter a little commonality into each story, thus connecting the individual stories. Clearly the theme for this book was 'a story with a twist'. A joy to read!"
"This was a very enjoyable book with varied themes, different voices and locations - all from one very talented author. I will be adding more of her books to my reading list and would encourage anyone who is not familiar with her to give her a try."
