‘Talk a little more’ is a collection of thirty short stories, so unique that you will not want to put the book down once you start reading. The story of the woman who became dumb when she saw her husband marry her little sister… the man who was stopped from committing suicide by divine intervention… the boy who was not afraid of snakes…the lady who did not wed the man she was engaged to and always rued it…stories such as these and others keep you intrigued till the end. The vagaries of life are many. Author Gulsum Basheer in her sophomore book weaves her tales around concepts of love, luck, hope and above all the suddenness and eccentricity of life. The charm of the book lies in the fact that none of the stories is imaginary. They are all real. They happened to someone. It could have been you or me.
