The reminiscing of 90-year-old Hagar shares a story of a lifetime, filled with pride, stubbornness, and a fixed view of the people around us. This book gives the impression of being as hard and cold as a stone angel but it is a fascinating insight into the ‘old-age’ we carve for ourselves out of the lives we have lived. It is not an easy read; Hagar’s life has not been easy either. However, it is an amazing read and one that will either have you thinking there is no excuse for being a bitch OR that life is one big consequence as we roll from action to action. The Gandharva by Bhavana Murali and Nikesh Murali Masters says she didn’t endure everything simply to work in the corporate world, and that her life’s work now is to “help people find their voice”.

She didn’t seem as huge any longer, as I had first imagined. Or perhaps she had shrunk after our swift journey? She wasn’t transparent, but she gave an impression of lightness and litheness. I looked at my hands. They were still my hands, although softer and smoother.

I've never before felt so horrified, traumatized, infuriated, sad, sympathetic and just completely undone reading... this woman's childhood was riddled with unspeakable physical, verbal, sexual torture and depravity at the hands of her own father "the Monster", assisted by her own brother, with her mother and extended family silently complicit, and actively participants in other atrocious ways. A beautiful blend of science fiction and fantasy, set in a utopian world built by angels and higher beings of faith. Shinn does not shy away from the parallels of her ‘Samaria’ and the religious centres of the Middle East; Gaza, Bethel, and Jordanna. However, she has taken a far more optimistic view of her alternative; one filled with harmony and peace and tolerance for all. The story is set on far-off planet which practices a very Christian-style faith; where angels live with and marry humans. There is great depth in Shinn’s characters, where an idealistic world has fed the privileged maybe not to the point of arrogance but definitely to the point of naivety.

But it probably serves me right!’

When I awoke, life was smiling at me. Because what else other than life could bring me to such an idyllic place? I wanted to laugh out loud and dance around with my beautiful angel, who again was small and dainty. She smiled and said, Do it! Dance with me!Masters clearly believes it happened. She’s intelligent, explains herself clearly, is charming, funny, a good conversationalist. And she has no obvious motive to lie.
