Who
Wants to Marry a Mamma's Boy and other stories is a collection of
short stories by Manjula Pal. It strings together the emotional
journeys of a diverse set of women at different stages in life.
The
writing is simple and most of the stories have happy endings. Ask any
married person and they will agree that at a certain point they felt
that they have made the wrong choice. What if they could turn the
clock behind and marry the person whom they loved. The story Love is
Also a Compromise deals with such a situation and has a fairy tale
ending. This is undoubtedly the best story in the collection.
I
also liked When Krishna Came to My House. You feel happy when the
well off family adopts a street child. But the story has a tragic
end, which I really didn't like.
This
collection of short stories takes you on a journey of volatile
emotions. It is certainly worth a read.
