"The Calling" is a historical novel set in Castile and Aragon, Spain during the 13th Century. It is the story of Lorenzo, a young man following the longing of his soul, who takes a spiritual pilgrimage from his native city of Teruel to Toledo, the spiritual center of medieval Spain. Along his particular “hero´s journey”, he encounters several adventures and tests until he arrives in the capital of Castile. In Toledo, he meets the great sages of his time who help him discover a new dimension of reality. A novel full of adventure, emotion, knowledge, romance…
Lyrical, evocative, masterfully paced and written, like nothing I've ever read before about a time and place that I do not know, but feel like I've inhabited in this wonderful debut. I was transported --and thrilled to enjoy the work of a new and already accomplished novelist! I received an early reader copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review.
"The Calling", one of the best books that I read in the last years: Mixing various disciplines like history, personal development and mysticism, I really enjoy so I highly recommend it. You will not regret it!
