Review

How the Tables Have Turned by Nazia.ahmed1 published by Notionpress.books is a collection of 10 heartwarming short stories that you will enjoy.

With a blend of nostalgia, love, loss, and complex human relations, the author explores various aspects of the human psyche. Just like the two sides of the same coin, witness the darkness and the light; the heart-warming and the heart-wrenching stories.

Each story has an amazing plot with a descriptive narration. I liked the way the author added unexpected twists to the story, leaving the readers surprised. Each story is outstanding, with an unexpected climax that will make you think. Not to forget, the crisp and gripping writing style of the author. The author makes each story interesting.

These stories are quick, raw and honest. The author beautifully expressed all the emotions. Each story teaches us a lesson for life.

Imagine A lonely old lady is on the lookout for companionship in Odd Jobs, or to learn to not judge a person in The story of Maya from Dresses from Bombay, or Chand’s and Sufiyan’s bond, each story has a layer of love that you will witness.

Chand Bibi’s Passa is a symbol of nostalgia while the old lady who looks for companionship and is lonely. The sibling love in daughters of Sybil while Adam’s girlfriend who is kidnapped.

Each story will change your perspective. Kudos to the author for penning down these beautiful stories. One could relate to each of the stories well.
