This is my new short story collection. I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it :)
I have already read and enjoyed Maria Savva's first two novels'A Time to Tell' and 'Coincidences'. This new book 'Pieces of a Rainbow' is an excellent collection of seven short stories in which each story is based on one of the colours that make up a rainbow.Within Maria Savva's written work you will always find emotional stories that reflect the realities of life and the world that we find ourselves living in.

This anthology was a well-written and compelling glimpse into the lives of some very interesting characters.

First of all, I really like the cover--it just matches up so well with the concept of the collection which is based upon each 'color' in the rainbow. How cool is that!
I particularly enjoyed 'Envy', 'Mystic Purple', and 'Rainbow's End', though all of the stories were succinct.
