Stories like ‘ Romeo and Juliet‘ or ‘ The Gift of the Magi‘. This is the kind of love story most of us like. They might end up in a high pressure dangerous situation which brings them together and opens their hearts to each other.
There are variations of this plot – the two people might be from different communities, ethnicities, and even different generations. Or sometimes they don’t and the story has a sad ending. It describes two people falling in love at first sight, having good romantic times together and then they face challenges – rival suitors, disapproval of parents and community – and our two lovers fight it out and find happiness in the end. In my experience, there is one kind of love story, which most of us like. It took me a few days and I finished reading it yesterday.īefore I continue with the book, I want to share some thoughts on love stories. But, after I read two stories, I decided to read one more, and then another, and then I decided to read the whole book. This year on Valentine’s I did what I did every year – took out this story collection and thought I will read one or two stories. Across the years, I had finished reading the other love story collections. One of the books I dipped into was this one – ‘ My Mistress’s Sparrow is Dead‘ edited by Jeffrey Eugenides. I try to read one or two stories, typically the shorter ones.
I take out some of my love story collections and dip into them. I have a Valentine’s Day tradition every year.
