UNSPOKEN
I’m on a reading spree this month. Hoping to read more books and review them as and when I get the time. I used to be a bookworm once upon a time. Anyway, keep reading folks!
As an e-book, I think the cover of this one is okay. It’s a simple bouquet as per the title of the book.
Name: Unspoken: A bouquet of Short Stories
Author: Sadhana Wadhwa
Format: Softcopy
Number of pages: 32
Availability: Amazon (Buy the Kindle edition here)
Rating: 4/5
The title was pretty much what the book contained; A bunch of 7 short stories. Unspoken were most of the endings. So, it was pretty apt. The subtitles were also good for the stories that followed each of them.
The author has written in simple English. I was happy not to find any grammatical errors anywhere in the book.
It was a general summary for all the stories. From the blurb, you won’t know what is happening in which story. But, that is okay. Just go ahead and read the short stories. Caution: If you’re Indian or know about the culture of India, you will understand the stories more than would a non-Indian.
Without taxing your brain too much, this is a good read while you’re travelling or need to quickly read a few stories on your way to the market (if it’s far away from your house).
The stories are simple and most of them had happy endings.
7 stories are not too less nor too much to read in one go.
I would love to suggest that the author write more and release a paperback book with all her stories in it.
One of the stories could be continued to a happier ending. Or the story needed more to it.
This book was a perfect read to continue my night reading habit. It was short and I finished 3 stories in one night and left the rest for the next one, only because I did not have another book waiting to be read yet. Or perhaps, I was just lazy.

Short stories are actually great. They finish faster. Last time I ordered the ghost story book after you reviewed it and it was really good. I will check it out too.

The Short Story genre is one of my favourites. Unspoken seems to be a gripping book with some interesting stories.

I wasn’t much into reading e books but off late have realised the importance of being able to read on the go. The short story genre is very apt for e books
I have been so busy these days, that sadly reading has nearly stopped – and i miss that aspect of my daily life!

I always love simple reads as they calm my mind. This book does seem like one! Thanks for the short and crisp review Cindy!
I love to read stories and books that are quick and short given the fast-paced life today. And this book seems just perfect to catch on to and continue with reading habits as you rightly said. Will surely check the kindle version for myself.
Off late I’ve started reading short stories a lot and this book also seems to be a light and easy read. Will surely check it out for my lazy weekend reading option.
This would make a good quick read on a weekend. Would you suggest this one for a teenager?
Not sure if the stories would interest her. Maybe a 20 year old could relate.
This book looks super attractive to me right now because I have taken on the task of reading a nearly 1000 page book! Agh! Maybe I’ll read this next!
Wow that is a LOT! All the best!
I am a person who prefers one-shot reading. This book is definitely going to grab a space for my next reading. Thanks for sharing an honest review, Cindy.
Simple and breezy read would be such a good break for me. Have been reading a lot of heavy stuff of late. Will read this over the weekend.
