Bestselling poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of poetry and prose exploring Hindu mythology and legend.
Let her be a little less human, a little more divine
Give her heart armor so it doesn’t break as easily as mineMeet Paro. A girl with a strong will, a full heart, and much to learn. Born into a family reeling from the ruptures of Partition in India, we follow her as she crosses the precarious lines between childhood, teenage discovery, and realizing her adult self. In the process, Paro must confront fear, desire and the darkest parts of herself in the search for meaning and, ultimately, empowerment.
Nikita Gill’s vivid poetry and beautiful illustrations have captured hearts and imaginations–but in The Girl and the Goddess, she offers us her most personal and deeply felt writing to date: an intimate coming-of-age story told in linked poems that offers a look into the Hindu mythology and rich cultural influences that helped her become the woman she is today.
Doesn’t this look and sound just amazing? I can’t get over how beautiful the cover is and how absolutely fantastic the synopsis sounds. Poetry and Hindu mythology? Can I just give this 5 stars already? Luckily the publication date is not far off. Another reason to love October and autumn!
I’m not super big into poetry, but the Hindu mythology element and the beautiful cover are calling to me!
Yes, I’m super intriguing! 😀
This sounds absolutely love – and you’re right about the cover! Happy reading, Stephanie:)
Thanks for stopping by!
That cover is gorgeous! I can see why you’re excited about this?
I wanna read it so bad right now. I can’t wait for it to be released!
I have one of her books sitting on my TBR shelf to read. I just love that she includes mythology in her poetry. I definitely want to read this! I hope you love it when you read it. Have a great week, Stephanie.
I don’t read a lot of poetry but I hope you love this!
Wow that cover is so stunning! I haven’t read much literature on Hindu mythology so now I am dying to check it out 🙂 Great choice!
Here’s my CWW if you’d like to give it a look!
I never read poetry but I confess this is tempting!
This does sound amazing! I am in love with that cover and would buy it for that reason alone. 😉
