When was the last time you put a piece of solid milk chocolate in your mouth, and allowed it slowly to melt? Not any kind of chocolate will suffice. Only the chocolates made with dairy butter and heavy cream can quench the connoisseurs taste buds. Quickly crunching the sweet confection away is good, and satisfies the immediate craving, but leisurely savoring the creaminess is a treasure. A good story has the same kind of effect, especially stories rich with wisdom.
Ten Chocolates from the Box is a perfect mix of stories creatively written from the authors' experiences. "A Tribute to Parents" begins by weaving the fabric for an appreciation of not only our parents, but for the elderly. "Night Ride" transports the reader into the subway car with effortless detail. We sit and watch the scene with the beggar trying to pick up the coins with his arthritic fingers. And, "Spring Treasures" invites an exploration of new meanings for things which we generally take for the
face value.
Rita Toews and Alex Domokos bring life to ordinary experiences. They flavor these short stories with the kind of chocolate-covered raspberry cream or hazelnut praline filling, which invites you to appreciate life and living. The insight and descriptiveness of the characters are very real, and remind me of similar moments in my life. If you are looking for a rich dessert after your supper, pick up Ten Chocolates from the Box, sit back and enjoy.
