“Heartwarming and beautiful tales to enrich our lives and bring a soft glow to our souls.”
Timons Esaias, Writer and Poet
“Madhu Wangu is part gentle guru, part teasing sprite, and part firm realist in this wide-ranging collection of lovely stories. The stories are rich with surprise turns and unexpected outcomes, convincingly presented by a gifted and skilled teller of tales. This volume will definitely be worth your time.”
Kathleen Shoop Award-winning, bestselling author
“Exquisite and immersive. The language--every word--is specially selected to evoke a particular place or time. Wangu's characters confront obstacles with a combination of optimism and realism about what life has handed them. Love is most prominent throughout. Whether a story about the secret life of trees or the roller coaster of a couple on a hike gone wrong or characters locked in marital or familial "prisons," Wangu teases out the gorgeousness of all facets of life. A must read. Get it now.”
Meredith Mileti, author of Aftertaste: A Novel in Five Courses
“The title alone might well be an anthem for [2020-2021] during which our worries have expanded as our worlds have contracted, and our travel has been limited to our living rooms and reading nooks. Dr. Wangu takes us to lands both exotic and familiar, to real-life locals as well as places where magic rules. What unites all of the stories is their ability to guide us on the greatest journey of all--the journey inward. The Other Shore is a potent reminder of the power of fiction to restore and transform.”
