Book Review

Author Naina More’s chirpy book titled “Tea Cups and Turning Points” offers a set of sixteen short stories that open gentle windows into everyday lives. Each story revolves around small but meaningful moments, often showing people standing at emotional crossroads. The author uses tea as a soft symbol of pause and reflection, inviting readers to slow down and connect with the feelings behind each scene. Her writing stays simple and calm, creating a comforting space for honest emotion.

The characters feel real and relatable, especially the women whose lives the book highlights. Their doubts, fears, hopes, and quiet strength come through in moments that feel both ordinary and powerful. Some stories bring smiles, others stir deeper feelings, and a few may linger long after the final page. The author’s gentle style captures these intimate experiences with care, even if the softness sometimes leads to endings that feel a little too quick or leaves a sense of wanting more depth.
