*BRITISH BOOK OF THE YEAR* EasternEye Picked as as one of STYLIST'S
*BEST AUTUMN READS OF 2020* 'A much-needed escape into a lyrical
world' Let her be a little less human, a little more divine Give
her heart armour so it doesn't break as easily as mine One girl's
wild journey of strength, beauty and growth as she discovers who
she really is. Lyrical wonder, spiritual revelation and revolution
meet with epic mythical landscapes in this deeply intimate
coming-of-age story, one that teaches us all, no matter how small
we feel, to become the masters of our own destiny. Meet Paro. A
girl with a strong will, a full heart and much to learn. Born into
a family reeling from the ruptures of Partition, follow her as she
crosses the precarious lines between childhood, teenage discovery
and realising her adult self. Nikita Gill's masterful poetry and
beautiful illustrations conjure up jasmine-scented voices and
smiles inhabited by ancestor's souls, rain dancing in a new city
and the painful caverns in our hearts. We are taken on a journey of
deity wisdom, fragmented family, and love lost and gained. We see
power in belief, healing from trauma and hope after conflict.
Undercurrents of the Trimurti - the Creator, the Preserver and the
Destroyer - run deep, as Paro must confront fear, desire and the
darkest parts of herself in the search for meaning and, ultimately,
empowerment. Navigating different cultures, religions and
identities, The Girl and the Goddess is a mesmerising poetic tale
of where we come from, how we grow and how we become who we are. 'A
moving, layered story' The Irish Times 'One of the best books of
the year ... a spiritually enriching experience' EasternEye
