I first bought a book by Malika Gandhi because the central theme of the book concerned the partition of the Indian sub-continent and all the horrors that went with it. That Partition has always interested me because I was involved with another partition that that followed it - the partition of Palestine in 1948.I can never understand why the UN voted for the Partition of Palestine after they had seen the tragic consequences in India and had been warned by the British that partition was not a option for a country the size of Wales with water resources confined to particular areas meaning water had to be piped from afar to irrigate the most fertile soils - but enough of my rant! I enjoyed the book of Malika;s that I had bought with its mix of history, magical realism and romance. so was pleased to find myself sitting next to Malika in a writers meet-up in the Midlands and found her an interesting personality.
When she ask me and several others on facebook to put the promotion of her latest book on my blog I was only too ready to do so.
Unfortunately I didn't realise the transitory nature of the blog tour she was taking part in and when her material arrived on the 15th I set it aside until the worst of a personal crisis I was going through was over. However, an email on my computer a few minutes ago alerted me to the fact that this is the final day of her blog tour, so I've set aside my work and hope this hasn't been composed in too much haste.If you're quick you'll still be in time to buy and claim your freebie
Here is what Malika has sent me.
by Malika Gandhi
A story of a spirit who has been alone for over a hundred
years, who suffers her dead mother’s wrath. Will she ever be forgiven?
.....
When a Soul begins to ask questions, she expects answers.
Aanchal wanders the lonely haveli (Indian mansion) at night. The villagers become aware of a presence and fear a girl never seen in their midst.
Who is she and where did she come from? Who turns the lights on in the old ruin every night?
Aanchal is not afraid of the villagers who want her banished, but she is afraid of her mother's yearly visit from the Other Side. Aanchal wants to be forgiven but will she have to pay a price before she is granted her wish?
When Kunaal arrives with Jennifer, Aanchal sees the chance to right what went wrong, but she will need help. Will her friends help her? Will her mother's spirit forgive her? Will she finally be ready to cross over?
Lost Soul - a harrowing tale of expectations and long-awaited hope.
