I have been on a quest lately, to find well-written, single, short stories to read.  Not that I have anything against a good anthology, but I mostly find that I am attracted to the collections by one story, and then find myself wasting my time ploughing through all of them in the hopes of finding another enjoyable one.  This seldom happens, so because my reading time is short and precious, I have decided to trawl the over sixty thousand short stories on Amazon, and see if I can find authors of little gems that I can keep going back to for more.I have found such an author in Margarita Felices, as well as the realisation that it is the talent of the teller of the tale, and not the length of the book that is important.The Story Of My Heart immediately drew me back to the lost loves of my youth.  The what ifs and the maybes.  Funny, sad, down to earth, and the effects of lives wasted by making the important choices on the basis of the feelings of others, and brilliantly woven to the end.  It left me with a warm glow, and I was straight off to buy another of M Felices' short stories to stash on my Kindle for when I have another free moment, safe in the knowledge that I will enjoy it.I not only recommend it to those like myself, who love the masterfully told tiny tale, but to anyone who enjoys reading a well written book.
