Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
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 conjures 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.

Beautiful Story - Beautiful Voice
I loved this audiobook with its intertwining story of the harsh realities of physical life and the comfort of spiritual life. Add to that Nikita's lilting voice and you have a captivating formula.

Slow burner
I loved this book, although I nearly gave up on it a couple of times at the beginning.
It was a slow start, but I am so glad I stuck with it.

So much power both in the story and the narration. The stories about the goddesses are just pure magic and strength.

Didn’t finish
Very boring, very slow. Also very difficult to follow. Never got so lost during an audiobook like with this one.
