An exquisitely rendered tale\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three modern-day women are drawn together by a blind priestess in Adel\u2019s lyrical latest novel. Anya of Mahet, a priestess from 8th century BC Malta, foresees a time when women become subjugated to men, and sets off a chain of events, sending her vision hundreds of centuries into the future. Aging rockstar Scotty D. Jones finds herself unable to escape the priestess’s influence while Abigail DiGiorno, a successful doctor, and her niece share in the same visions. Soon, these three women join forces to restore the priestesses’ reverence. Broad and imaginative in scope, the story opens up the protagonists\u2019 world, exploring their fears and motivations. Adel’s writing flows like poetry, and the plot moves leisurely yet intensely as it explores its characters\u2019 inner worlds. The narrative alternates between the past and the present, shifting from a third-person omniscient narration to Anya’s first-person voice, adding intrigue and depth as it goes along. The novel is as much about feminine empowerment as it is about personal growth. A stunner of a book from a writer to watch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
