Lata Kaku's stories are very diverse in nature: from adventurous ancient legends to tribulations of people in contemporary times. The narratives weave a tapestry of human emotions that make the stories entertaining, provocative and inspirational. The strengths and frailties of people as they face dilemmas is explored without prejudice: there is love and loss in 'A Winter Night', mystery, intrigue in 'The Ninth Jewel', revenge in 'Nemesis', valour, deceit, compassion.
