“The Old Men Who Row Boats And Other Stories” written by the author David Joseph is a collection of short stories. These stories are set mostly in Spain. There are total 14 short stories in this collection.

First is the titular story “The Old Men Who Row Boats”. Old men row boats in the morning hours at Retiro Park. This made them feel manly and it’s a great physical activity for them to move their limbs. One of the men who row boats is Javier who lived in a small apartment near the Reina Sofía Museum. Javier had never married and had no children. His routine is to have coffee before rowing.

My favourite among the collection is “The Girl at the Chocolate Shop”. It’s a story about a tiny Chocolate Shop where people of different profession or age stop by. It is about the smile of a girl who works at the Chocolate Shop. There are many rumors about the reason of a girl’s smile.

These short stories are unique and interesting. Characters of the stories are penned well by the author. If you are looking for a stress buster or something to enjoy in your short break, you could enjoy one story at a time. Language of the book is simple and cover photo is nice. I enjoyed all these stories as they have unique plot. I like to recommend it to short story lovers. Looking forward to read more such short stories by the author.
