Around the World in Twenty-Seven Tales by Poornima Manco

★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review.
Interesting, though I don't usually like short stories. I recommend this collection for world travelers, armchair explorers, and those who enjoy tales told by very diverse characters. There was a wide range of opportunities and outcomes.

Why buy it? It will hold your interest in short time periods. Take it on your commute. Take it on a plane and nap between chapters. And consider what it means to live a world away from where you are now.

This one kept me in suspense until the last page. And I still am thinking about possible outcomes. 

If you like suspense and character development and a new kind of plot twist, it's for you. I'm surprised that I enjoy it as much as I did. So ...

For readers of suspense, travel, society, and just plain good fiction, this one's for you.
