Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
“Charming. . . . A moving testament to the diversity and depths of love.”
—Publishers Weekly
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll be swept away—in less time than it takes to read this paragraph. Here are 175 true stories—honest, funny, tender and wise—each as moving as a lyric poem, all told in no more than one hundred words. An electrician lights up a woman’s life, a sister longs for her homeless brother, strangers dream of what might have been. Love lost, found and reclaimed. Love that’s romantic, familial, platonic and unexpected. Most of all, these stories celebrate love as it exists in real life: a silly remark that leads to a lifetime together, a father who struggles to remember his son, ordinary moments that burn bright.

“This was so much more beautiful and lovely than I could have imagined. All the ways to love, from platonic to familial to heartbreak to romantic soulmates and everything in between. I laughed, I cried, I gained a sense of humanity through 100 word stories.”
