Threads of Childhood: Stories of Family, Myth, and Moral Echoes

This book reinterprets folk tales and communicates with more ＂unconventional＂ realism combined with magical realism. These artistic short stories explore severed relationships, societal burdens, and suppressed acts of rebellion, which redefine what it is to belong. Such narratives interrogate relationships, but with different complexities, from a farmer’s negotiation for companionship to a child’s unintentional plot for discovering the buried regrets. They, therefore, challenge bonds that are made, unmade, or severed, along with their costs.

What Defines This Book:

• Mythic undertones: familial secrets and generational silences rekindle the archetypal struggles between betrayal, sacrifice, and inheritance.
• Daily drama: the characters come across isolation, old age, and judgment, in which small choices unravel into irreversible consequences.
• Parent-child relationships: the gulf between care and control, love and obligation, in a world demanding loyalty without understanding.

Readers Who Want:

• Literary escapism that has emotional authenticity, not quite escapism.
• Short stories focus on people, not fast-paced action.
• Language-based narratives over plot-heavy stories.
