Best Love Letters of All Time

Best Love Letters of All Time

A collection of about 68 letters written by a soul to his or her beloved mostly, while there are exceptions like Bernard Shaw's wife writing to his muse to persuade her otherwise!

I especially loved the one written by Edgar Allan Poe to his beloved Sarah Helen Whitman, even though their story didn't have a happy ending. The detailing was exquisite, he wrote a really lengthy letter, expressing his heart out!

I've completed yet another CLASSIC by FingerPrint publications...

We were never meant to be - Palle Vasu

We were never meant to be - Palle Vasu Yet another round of excellent storytelling, but reading this was somewhat unusual. The entire set of events were excellently planned, each character had cast some essence in the background, since only three character were in the foreground; Vikram, Anika and later Mathura.  The story begins with Vikram's silly teenage infatuation towards Anika, her being unaware of it.

Nor could I make out what Vikram actually wanted from her, just her saying that she loved him or actually ta...

Rudra Nandini - M Lovely

Rudra Nandini - M Lovely A tale of love that sounds both 'modern' and 'from history', narrated for about 550+ pages.  The story features Rudra and Nandini from neighboring rival states. What begins as a mere infatuation between the two, turns into longing, and finally into an inseparable yearning for each other. The plot, the situations that arise appear fictional and not so lively though.  Reading through the whole book felt like an adventure, coming across certain lines that made me stare at them in awe a little too long, others that made me aghast with a question, "He did what?", and there were a few that couldn't just be read without a blush! A nice escape I would say. Thank you @adeeshnayak18 ✨ . . . . . . . . Read for life!
