And in some it\u2019s hard to say where the beginning is and where the end.\u2019 You Cannot Have All the Answers, a collection of fifteen short stories, offers a glimpse into the conflicting emotions that define the human condition, and portrays characters who attempt to seek answers to a variety of existential questions. Including The Asian Age short-story competition winner, Cradle Song, these narratives deal with issues like trauma, sexuality, prejudice, family relations, and the recklessness of youth.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color:#000080;\"><strong>My Thoughts<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>You Cannot Have All The Answers and Other Stories<\/em> by Deepa Agarwal is a collection of fifteen unique stories. While I don&#8217;t think I full grasped all the stories, I liked that many of the stories were on\u00a0topics that people usually hesitate to talk about. The author&#8217;s writing style was very expressive and I really enjoyed it. Most of the stories were surrounded around the lives of women.<\/p>\n<p>This book is a very different and somewhat enlightening collection of stories and I definitely recommend it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\">Find me on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tavleen_words\/\">Instagram<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tavleensoni\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/32793447-tavleen-kaur\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Add the book on Goodreads Buy on Amazon Genre:\u00a0Short Story Collection Publisher: Niyogi Books Format:\u00a0Paperback Source:\u00a0Review Copy My Rating:\u00a04\u00a0stars<\/p>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2018\/06\/07\/you-cannot-have-all-the-answers-and-other-stories-by-deepa-agarwal\/#more-11783\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading &#10142; <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">You Cannot Have All The Answers and Other Stories by Deepa Agarwal<\/span><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[28,55,83,99,131,226,231,330,406,497],"class_list":["post-11783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-anthology","tag-blogging","tag-book-recommendations","tag-books","tag-contemporary-book","tag-indian-authors","tag-indian-books","tag-niyogi-books","tag-short-stories","tag-womens-fiction"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":11823,"url":"https:\/\/travellingthroughwords.com\/index.php\/2018\/07\/29\/stacking-the-shelves-4-first-2018-book-haul-may-july\/","url_meta":{"origin":11783,"position":0},"title":"Stacking the Shelves #4 ||May-July Book Haul","date":"July 29, 2018","format":false,"excerpt":"Hi everyone!
