A shepherd went missing in the Transylvanian mountains in 1920. A hundred years later, a woman bought an old typewriter on eBay and started to receive strange messages. A desperate mother makes a life-changing decision. The town of Exmouth desperately fights with a carnivorous plant in the not-so-distant future. Australian animals face the horror of being burned alive in a wildfire. Mia counts her misfortunes on her way to her ailing father's hospital bed. Estimation of an art collection in a haunted cabin becomes a survival game for an art realtor, a buyer, and the heirs of its late owner. Laura confronts a priest regarding the fundamental principles of faith while mourning her father's death.
The Catalogue: Family Affairs by Maria Grigorescu is a collection of short stories for fans of suspense, science fiction, fantasy, crime drama, social issues, and short stories with a paranormal element.
The Catalogue: Family Affairs offers us subtle, psychological prose elegantly written by Maria Grigorescu. The stories are wise, witty, and thought-provoking.
The book is illustrated with the vibrant artworks of the gifted Christina Maria Grigorescu.
Gone to the Stars But Always in Our Hearts is a touching story, implying that everything happens for a reason. It starts with intrigue that gets tighter until the surprising ending of the story.
Maria speaks about the hardships of motherhood in post-communist Romania. The White Coat is a heartbreaking story relatable to many who went through similar struggles in the post-communist era.
Maria touches on the topic of our responsibility for the environment and wildlife in Booboo the Koala and The Dusk of the Unpeople and the Red Flowers (or Close Encounters of the Plant Kind). The notes of dark humor complement the fascinating Potions Inc. and Stirring the Pot with Your Mother’s Neighbour. These two short stories warn us to be more careful with our wishes and choices. The Late Bloomer, my favorite story in the collection, appeals to our empathy for those in need.
Overall, The Catalogue is an imaginative mixture of many genres that won't leave pensive readers disappointed.
