Description:
About the last
thing shy and lonely Joseph wanted to do was live on campus at seminary. But
when he finds a beautiful afghan on his dorm room bed and attempts to track
down its maker, Joseph runs headlong into a series of events that might just lead
to something called… love. Charming, whimsical, and poignantly funny, A Purple
and Gold Afghan and other stories is a delightful collection that will tug at
your heartstrings.
It has
been ages since I have read short stories that were so good. Jordan Smith has so
much talent, I hope he writes more. He was able to develop the characters well
and make you feel like you know them in only a page or two.
I love
how Joseph argues with himself. I do it all the time. I could really relate to
his internal struggles. He made me laugh many times, as well as think. I don’
think you could ask for a better main character for a short story.
Although
these stories were short, I didn’t feel like I was missing information. It was
nice to read these stories in a matter of an hour, and enjoy them.
I
recommend these to anyone who needs a quick, enjoyable, and well written read.
