For small creatures such as we the vastness is bearable only through love.
Carl Sagon
The short stories in Love is a Many Splendored Things explore bite-size slices of life. Diverse and unpredictable in setting, situation, character and point-of-view, one story does not predict the next nor a beginning an ending. As the title indicates, love is explored beyond the initial splendour of romantic attachment.
Each of the three sections begins with flash fiction shorts of a few paragraphs and extends into a story from the short's sweet spot of five thousand words. 'Hand in Hand' tells of love in partnership, 'Side by Side' love of one's homeland, family and community and 'In the Mirror', love of self.
The stories in this collection both entertain and educate. Always psychologically astute, they move and amuse, offer insight and hard truths. At times they are as delightfully over-the-top as they are viscerally disturbing.
Story order is arranged with a sensitivity to the reader's emotional journey.
The ideal reader for this collection is someone who has an enquiring mind, reads to be educated as well as entertained and who wants to discover what lies beneath the surface of situations and relationships.
