Love Stone: A Tetralogy of Love by Metha Metharom



"Love Stone" is a collection of short stories based on the theme of Love, and where one can find Love. This book in particular is one of my favourites from Metha Metharom, and really showcases his writing ability.

My favourite short story in "Love Stone" is the story of the Rock Samurai and the Wind Maiden, because when I first read it, I did not immediately associate the story with any other romance novel. Rather, I was thinking about the worth of a human being, and how unique each and every one of us is. The Wind Maiden is the only one who can see something special with the Rock Samurai, and she spends her time moulding him into fulfilling his full potential. When we deeply care about someone, whether we are in love with that person, or if they are true friends, we want to help them showcase their best selves, and help them realize the potential they have inside. Such was the beautiful message I got from this really powerful story.

This is a great read for all ages alike.

"The Rock Samurai and the Wind Maiden" has also been published as a separate work, and can be ordered by clicking here.
