THE GIRL AND THE GODDESS Stories and Poems of Divine Wisdom

Author and narrator Nikita Gill eloquently unfolds the story of Paro, a young woman from India who is navigating various hardships that shape her journey to womanhood. There is a poetic quality in the content of this story and in its narration. Gill's voice is airy and soft yet commanding. It is not difficult to imagine Paro as a divine being, given the combination of Gill's imagery and vocal intonations. Gill connects the stories of gods and goddesses to Paro's human experiences, and, indeed, she embodies these deities. The narration is ethereal yet concrete. As Gill brings the story to a close, there is a feeling of resilience, strength, and love. T.E.C. © AudioFile 2021, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2021]
