An atlas of love book review
An Atlas Of Love is a contemporary romance anthology that does not hesitate to go beyond the usual ‘happily ever after’ trope.
Love happens in myriad forms in An Atlas of Love, a compilation of sixteen romantic stories that delves into the details of all types of love – from the purest to the darkest; thus the name ‘Atlas’, which is very apt. After all, everyone has the right to love and be loved in their own acceptable ways.
An Atlas of Love bravely explores different facets of love and not just the typical ‘hero meets heroine’, ‘they fall in love and live happily ever after’ narrative. Its unconventional way of treating love makes it a unique and an interesting read. Here you will find the not-so-happy endings of love, some tragic ones, and also the ones with unexpected twists.
Edited by Anuja Chauhan, the celebrated bestselling author, this romance anthology explores gay love and bares the hypocrisies of our society as seen in ‘The Unseen Boundaries of Love’, the hopefulness, the long wait, the confusion , and the vagueness of long distance relationships as in ‘Siddharth’.
The book starts with Aurodeep Nandi’s ‘Phoenix Mills’ where the author has beautifully included Phoenix Mills as one of the characters, making it an integral part of the narrator’s life. The story also captures the narrator’s anguished quest for love in our present day materialistic society.
My personal favorite is ‘Jilted’ by Cecile Rischmann. It is a story of love, betrayal and revenge where Stefani leaves Gaurav on the day of his wedding to Samantha so that he is forced to live with a girl he did not love. This is revenge in itself!
This Rupa romance anthology is a passionate and compelling contemporary take on Indian romance that explores the complexities of love, friendship and relationships. Overall, it’s a good read.
Come find your type of love with An Atlas of Love. Happy Reading!

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
