This month of love, I had the good fortune to read this collection of 50 greatest love stories from @rupa_publications of diverse nature!
The content itself discloses to you the list of some the best known authors in literature to be featured here! Known worldwidd for their writing prowess and emotive language, featured here are works of GD Maupassant, O Henry, Anton Chekov, Oscar Wilde and Rudyard Kipling among others.
.
Editor Terry O Brien adds a perfect introduction, describing how there are three stories with the title The Kiss in this book, yet they are so different from each other.
.
The storied needless to be said, are gems picked from literature and comprise love in all kinds imaginable. A great book to read this February, complete with its resplendent red cover. The stories are short ones and will definitely leave you to ponder on this wonderful ( and yeah tough too) feeling of love

Terry O Brien being a best-selling author has described love in different ways. He defines that some love stories might not go long but even when it's short it's filled with love
“Some say love’s a little boy,
And some say its a bird
Some say it makes the world go round,
And some say that's absurd,
And when I asked the man next door,
Who looked as if he knew,
The magnificent feeling this book placed me in make my Valentine a bit more dramatic. It was like a love overdose. It was like experiencing a sensory explosion as I read some of the most beautiful and heartfelt stories about people who discover themselves after discovering love.
Particularly affecting for me were tales like The Horse Dealer's Daughter. Mabel's need for Jack's affection is understandable given her strong yet fragile personality. Another lovely story that highlights a young Irish woman's perseverance and ability to make decisions is Eveline. A new sort of fiction, How to Avoid Getting Married does not directly address love in the plot. It reminded me of If by Abraham Lincoln. This anthology aims to be eclectic, featuring several tales and literary styles.
Reading is fun when the stories are entertaining and brief. In general, this is a compilation you should have on your bookshelf. Therefore, do it.

This book was like a love overdose and it made my Valentine a little more dramatic owing to the sublime mood it put me into. The influx of a myriad of emotions while reading some of the most romantic as well as heart-touching stories about people who find themselves after finding love was like a sensory overload.
