GRAINNE AND THE DIVINE FEMININE
This is a young girl's spiritual adventure from Galway to Glastonbury. She learns about many things and - en route - takes time to look at the astrology for the coming few years, which is dramatic. Covering science, mysticism, the rise of the Goddess and love, this is an unmissable adventure into the world of spirit. Funny, spirited and wise beyond its years, it mirrors - so clearly - the life and times of its author, who is also - you've guessed it - funny, spirited and wise beyond her years. Which is saying something ! Here's a review for an earlier book.
And thanks to Carol Allen for her amazing generosity here. Being compared to Shakespeare is a first, I have to say !!! She's in California and does relationship coaching - I'm passing the love on, sincerely so.
Review on Amazon.com (not listed here) Temporary Periods of Joy - by Carol "This is an incredibly charming and enchanting fairy tale for adults! With an inspired cast of characters, and a thorough, funny, wise narrator, the author's "Irishness" shines through. ..... ...The writing reminded me of Shakespeare and J.K. Rowling, and "Lucky Charms" commercials all rolled into one. In other words, you'll never find anything else quite like it."
It may astonish you, as a reader, but the book (Grainne, that is) is based on real life.

The way this book is written, with poor grammar, was annoying. Then I realized maybe the style was meant to mimic the way the narrator talks, so I gave it a chance and finished it. There's an odd bit at about the middle where the author steps in and bores us with more basic talk about conspiracy theories (which are true, but the way it's written, it doesn't make for good storytelling).
I liked the talk of Goddesses, but nothing much really happens in this book. A few strange things but there isn't really much story going on, aside from a young woman who is discovering her mystic abilities, and pondering conspiracies. She moves because her brother thinks she is crazy and doesn't want her to end up in a mental hospital, and she meets other spiritual people. That's it. We are left wondering why the author thought this would make a good novel, because it is clumsy sounding and barely has a plot. It seems like deep down she wanted it to be non-fiction, so it's very strange that it isn't. It may have turned out readable if it was.
