Readers Review
Dagmar's Review (2006)

I recently read this wonderful book which got me hooked right from the start. I found it a completely unique read, unlike anything I've ever read – and I've read a few!

There is a largeness to it that took my breath away, particularly in the third part and the ending. It is packed full of spiritual truth but not for one moment did I feel "preached to". The author manages to weave those messages into the experience and conversations of the characters. It is about Oneness and it is about individuality too. And I feel it’s about the place where the two meet.

The amazing thing is that I felt ever so often that the story was about myself and my own journey - in fact I think it is about the journey of all of us. And the book is about each one of us and the ONE of us.
After finishing the book I felt a huge YES in myself – there was comfort and relief. Maybe what I am trying to say is that I found a remembering of what I know deep down, but wrapped in a unique and surprising package.

There is so much more of course, symbolism, archetypal and psychological truths and insights. What I find most amazing is that I got to read this book at a time on my own journey when it really hits home.

I think Cathy Preston has created an amazing and deeply affecting story and one that I will read again and again. For me it's not just a work of art but a true story, even though the details may not be found in "real life". The essence and the message feel totally true.

I can wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone.
