151 Toffee Tales: An Affectionate Confection of Prose and Verse Yuvika Grewal

151 Toffee Tales is a vibrant and variegated collection of micro stories presented through delectable pieces of prose and verse, coined by an emerging author. As you read along, each tale melts while releasing a fresh flavour and fervently lingers in the mind for long as an after taste. The most notable of these compositions include - A mosquito's visit to a lonely woman, to give her company. Zaiya's heart and ice by her side melt in rain when she finds her lost love while roasting chapattis on an earthen stove. A fisherman with a soft heart throws his catch back in the sea. Not one but seven men make the rainbow in a woman's heart. Cheeka's heart has a hole; his pursuit to fill the hole is never ending. A man who has a tender side tells a tale with elegance. Saaki's hands come together to console each other on a wintry day. A tear drop finds its way back; and retires to where it came from. From the story of an umbrella to the myth of the Magic ale, this book stirs a web of emotions.

The tales are about love, hope, shame, faith and above all an enduring message of living to the fullest in an ordinary existence.
