Trail of Love and Longings (A Collection of Short Stories)

Amita Ray’s collection of stories is a delight to read. A born raconteur, Ray touches the heart with her insight into the human psyche. Her gift for evoking mood and atmosphere is superbly demonstrated throughout the collection as she weaves her magic deftly, incorporating subtle details that enhance the stories’ outcomes. Ray’s versatility is evident in the range of her subjects and methods as she includes themes of everyday life along with those of psychological horror, mediated sometimes through the “slice of life” method and at others, through the “surprise ending.” In all, an excellent, entertaining and enlightening read! ---– Dr. Ajanta Paul, Poet, Short Story Writer and Critic
