Resistance, Revolution and Other Love Stories by K
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Is love the ultimate act of rebellion? Or is rebellion the ultimate act of Love? In this book, a collection of 12 short stories take us into the lives of vastly different people who all have one thing in common: they love deeply and completely and long for love as well. Written by Canadian author K. the stories were previously published separately until they were compiled into this book. Expect to be taken around the world, from Crimea, Yugoslavia all the way to Iraq, the stories are poignant and well written in such a way that they draw you in and allow you to ponder life in a grander manner.
I particularly liked Rachel and her views on dandelions. The simple beauty in the worldviews of many of the characters was deceptive in its simplicity. I believe the book is well worth a read, especially if you are interested in glimpses of life in other countries than your own.
