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.

Una novela fascinante, que no puedes dejar de leer ni un momento y que te conecta-desde el primer instante-con el corazón. Agradecida.



A fascinating novel, one that can not fail to read even a moment and that connects you - from the first moment - with the heart. Thankful.

"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!
