26 Stories. 26 Colours. 26 Emotions.
This anthology is an attempt at crafting stories which subscribe to the genre of flash-fiction which is a compendium of extremely brief narratives and stories. This anthology strives to explore the myriad hues of life by painting 26 bite-sized stories, each based on 26 colours which commence with every letter of the alphabet from A to Z. The themes developed in these stories range from marital despair to urban city-life blues, from love to loss, from child abuse to infidelity, divorce, and much more.
This anthology is inspired from ideas which took shape during the April A- Z blogging challenge which the author undertook in 2014. Each story has been written in just one day and tries to bear testimony to the fact that short, swiftly written, and transient narratives can be as powerful as the complexly constructed lines of drawn-out prose.

I was recently introduced to flash fiction by some fellow authors, so this genre is a relatively new concept to me. However, I have read several interesting pieces, and this one was no exception.It was obvious the author poured her soul into these selections, as they were filled with emotion. She provided a wide-range of topics as well--everything from divorce to abuse. Some were a bit confusing to me, but that could be left up to the perception of each reader, and others may have a different experience. I commend her for tackling such sensitive subjects, and was impressed to learn that each of these pieces were composed one day at a time. That takes guts and dedication.
There were a few distracting grammar issues, however, they were not frequent enough to deter me from finishing the stories. And, I suppose that may be part of the 'time-sensitive' aspect of writing flash fiction.
In conclusion, I found these writings to be entertaining and heartfelt and recommend this book to anyone who enjoys emotional flash fiction.

26 26 Stories 26 Colours 26 Emotions edition by Aditi Kaushiva Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This is a short story collection that not only has varied emotion in it, it also evokes so many emotions from the reader. I finished the book in one sitting and enjoyed each of the 26 tales varied as they were.
Aditi has written them with a fine balance between colors and emotions and ensuring that each story is a peek into the emotions and how they match the colors. The stories are written in a crisp style with and no unnecessary word. I must praise the author for conveying so much in so few words. The book left me with wishing to read more of her work. An excellent play of emotions, human sentiments and the ugly side of a human being. How easy it is for a person to forget a loved one? How love means the ultimate sacrifice for some and means never abandoning a person for others.
I was especially moved by these stories, I Named Him Dandelion, Grey Powder, The Bleeding Ivory gave me Goosebumps! The Khakee Distress, Nude, The Periwinkle Ribbon, Loving Vanilla, The Xanthic Nightmares all arouse strong emotions.
For me it is a well written book if it manages to engross me and make me lose my cool; this book did both. Aditi, writes like an experienced traveler rather than a young girl; very admirable.
A must read for when you want to really feel deeply about life. Pick it for your weekend.
(I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange of my review.)
Some may say publishing short stories is easier than compiling an intricate novel, but I dare them then to be brave enough to set before themselves the challenge this beginner author has.
26 is a collection in which each story is inspired by a certain colour or shade, which is a beautiful concept in itself. However, the author's mission is also to tell the stories from different perspectives and tackle some serious social and political topics, as well as those dealing with the most private and intimate details of a person's life. Some stories are told in the first person and have a highly lyrical tone, and these are the ones in which the author's style is most relaxed and strongest. Breaking up a relationship, saying goodbye to a child you lost, sibling relationships - these are all told with a particularly gentle voice, highly emotional and romantic. Some stories, however, deal with highly provoking topics such as prostitution, child molesting, betrayal, political riots, sexual orientation and animal abuse. This is where the author shows true potential and makes us wonder how her style and passion will develop after this brave first publishing. Although the impression the stories leave on the reader may vary in strength, probably also dependant on the reader's own taste and experience, it is fascinating to read how the author creates this patchwork of topics and moods, all connected with her own voice. Let me share some of my favourites. Black, No More! is the one in which a girl changes her black clothes into colourful as she finally gains confidence to stand up for herself, and it is a story where the author talks about serious social issues, not aggressively but from an intimate point of view. Grey Powder is a dialogue about drug abuse, and despite it not being a lyrical peace, it shows tons of promises about what we can expect from this author in the future. The Jade Mandarin Ducks is one of the stories which has potential as a novel, about a married couple facing problems of betrayal and forgiving each other and themselves. Scarlet Autumn gives a short image of an orphan's melancholy and does for the story what a haiku does for a poem. My absolute favourite if Bleeding Ivory, a heart-breaking love story about.... no, please read it for yourselves. It's worth it! I did expect a bit more colour, but perhaps it's just that the collection would be a fantastic gift if illustrated or accompanied by photos. All things considered, this author has created a unique and challenging collection of stories, bravely tackling striking areas of our world, and it will be a pleasure to watch her fine-tune her style and develop as an author.
Makes for good crisp read. With our daily busy lives, need not get on with the entire book, but just pick one story for a tea break, travel. Etc. each story full of perspective .. Well done !
The stories here are our lives,and in some way, reading them makes you relive your own. The way its written, is how you would recount your life. Not in the language, but in what it felt like. At times its prose bordering poetry. Absolutely recommend.
