The Highway Man: Short Stories by J. AlchemMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
First of all, I'd like to thank Sidra for giving me a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
"The Highway Man" is a collection of three short stories by the author. Each story has a different flavour. Each is different from the other and unique in it's own way.
The first story 'Catherine' is about a Psychiatric, who became the physician of one best-seller novelist, who writes romantic tales of love. I just loved the offbeat storyline and the final twist in the story just leaves me speechless.
The second story depicts one day's happenings in the lives of a couple who are very much in love with each other. I am sure every woman wants a husband like Jihan, who treasures his wife and can go to any length to make her happy. Every husband should take inspiration from this story.
The third one is the story from which the book's title 'The Highway Man' comes. It teaches us the secret to find happiness in a life, which can take an adverse turn at any moment. However, it gives us the mantra to be happy, no matter what curveball the life throws at us. I am sure many readers will find a renewed jest for life after reading this story.
Overall, a delectable treat for the lovers of short-stories. If you enjoy this genre, do give this book a try. You'll not be disappointed.
