If trees could talk, they’d have so much to tell: The story of two broken hearts, that stolen first kiss, those last words of a mother to her son, endless cups of tea, and never-ending chatter, of nostalgia, an act of brutality and a tale of passion. In this collection of 11 short stories, The Trees Told Me So, Purva Grover draws a beautiful and poignant picture of love, life, and loss with an honest voice. And the common thread running through the stories is that nature (Read: A tree) stands witness like an old soul—full of wisdom and compassion. A silent observer, a keeper of secrets, yet the tree is always an integral part of the character’s very being.
