A Tapestry of Tears by Gita V. Reddy
4.0
A Tapestry of Tears is a collection of short stories about Indian people, whether living in India itself, or abroad. The stories are set in many different time periods, and the protagonists range from young to elderly.
Gita V. Reddy's stories for adults are just as charming as her stories for children. She has a particular flair for creating characters whom you can sympathize with in just a few pages. My favorite stories in this collection were the titular A Tapestry of Tears, and The Empress' New Clothes, a thought-provoking re-imagining of the classic folk tale. However, all the stories are captivating in their own right.
If you like reading about other cultures, this collection definitely deserves a place on your shelf.
