Not every story makes noise. Some sit beside you in silence, like an old friend on a rainy day. Umbrellas & Other Stories is a collection of emotionally layered, standalone tales each one rooted in moments we often overlook: a shared glance, a cup of tea left unfinished, a letter never posted, a goodbye that came too quietly. Every story begins with a theme, followed by an introduction to the characters who carry it people who feel real, familiar, quietly unforgettable. Over the chapters, their lives unfold slowly and softly, ending with an epilogue that feels like the last line of a song you didn’t want to end. This is not a book of romance - it’s a book about people. About memory, family, healing, silence, friendship, identity, longing, and quiet courage. Some stories will comfort you. Others might leave behind a gentle ache. All of them are meant to be felt deeply. If you love slow, emotional fiction with lyrical writing, grounded characters, and stories that live in the in-betweens — you’re exactly where you need to be.
