My Review

I’m sure many people have occasional days when they feel overwhelmed by events and only want to escape the real world with a book. What sort of book do you read in those circumstances? I’ve found romances to be eminently suitable for the purpose. But having read this book of short stories, I think they are just as good. The advantage of short stories over a novel is that the reader can dig into a story whenever they have a few minutes free, and never lose the thread or forget which character is which.

The stories in this collection are sweet. Some include romance; others involve children and animals. Sometimes disaster strikes, but I hope I’m not giving anything away when I say all the stories have happy endings.

The characters in these tales are kind. They often go beyond all expectations to help people in need of support. When bad characters appear, they always get their just deserts. The stories provide satisfaction.

The real world, as we know, is not always like this. It would probably be correct to say it’s not usually like this. But the world of these stories is one we should aspire to. If the real world were like this, we wouldn’t need these stories. As it is not, we very much do.
