Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A small Moroccan girl from a large but impoverished family receives a quest from a barefoot holy man on a bridge in Casablanca. Find the Bird with Crooked Wings. Shaafia grows up never forgetting her quest. She journeys to Bordeaux for her studies as a translator and there the quest is fulfilled. A tiny physically handicapped Australian child named Pia is the deeply gifted reincarnation of an ancient Indian sage and it is through Shaafia that she is able to communicate. Around them, in an old French château, gather other souls who have also been given quests. As each encounters Pia, miracles large and small ensue.However the life of Pia is shortlived and she dies in a pool of blood before the statue of the Virgin in Lourdes in France. This is the story that takes place in the first volume of the Crooked Wings Trilogy. It is not the end of the story. Pia's ability to communicate does not cease with her physical death and those miracles persist in the second volume, Spreading Wings and the château becomesa site of pilgrimage.Now, in the third volume of the Crooked Wings trilogy, Shaafia finds herself returning to her native Morocco. She is not the shy, tremulous student she was when she left. She soon discovers that she has acquired many of the gifts that so inspired her in Pia. Shaafia finds herself guided to act on her own. No longer is she only the translator for Pia but other unseen beings guide her.As she comes to recognise her own powers, so she realises that she can inspire others. Her previously abject family comes to life one by one, she finds herself able to access information she never knew she had. Against her however there are also dark forces. Not everyone wants to see her succeed. As she trusts more and more deeply in her newfound powers, Shaafia rises to face her new challenges and around her others soon recognise what she can do.The house where all this finally comes to fruition, Ocean House, Darou Al Bahr in Arabic, comes back to life from dereliction and becomes a holy place once again.…

Zustand: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The covid pandemic changed a lot of things. Lives were turned upside down and many people found themselves in new and challenging circumstances. For Australians Greg and Sally that meant crossing the world to live in France with Sally's eccentric Uncle Kurt who had just bought a five storey derelict hotel in a small hilltop village in the rural South West. They find themselves in an unfamiliar world, learning how to live in a newcountry, plumbing the mysteries of French culture and language and discovering that there are layers of reality they had never encountered.The village of Saint Livraque, nestled high up above the river behind its defensive walls, is named, supposedly after a medieval saint. However Greg and Sally begin to discover that perhaps this saint is still around and keeping an eye on the welfare of those who are willing to believe he is still at work. The reality of a saintly presence is totally outside the previous existence of these young Australians, but slowly they come to accept that there has to be something there. They become witness to what might be referred to as miracles.They even become rather fond of their own saint.…

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 426 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In Lourdes, on the holy feast day of Assumption, the body of a dead child lies in a pool of blood in front of the statue of the Virgin. Around her stand those who have come to love her, not just as a child, but as a gifted soul, trapped in a disabled body. Their grief at her loss merges with the love that she has awoken in them. Though she is gone, the love that they feel in her presence grows stronger. Her body returns to the convent of the nuns who came to regard her as their own saint, but at the moment when they are ready to bury her, she lets them know that she is very much still with them. What follows is the evolution of a relationship that began when seekers from different paths converged on a château in Entre Deux Mers, South-Western France, and discovered this child held the key to their destiny. What began in "Crooked Wings" now takes flight and like birds losing their fledgling plumage, they learn to spread their wings. …

Zustand: Sehr gut. Zustand: Sehr gut | Seiten: 364 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | In the remote Esk Valley of Northern Tasmania, a lost feral child finds shelter and comfort with an old farmer and a young french tourist and slowly begins to find himself. Will is turning seven, and despite his parentless, haphazard beginnings, he has been welcomed with affection and nurtured by Hoppy and Ariette. They have been amazed to discover that Will has an affinity with animals, an ability to communicate with them which is his one prodigeous gift. As they encourage him, others begin to recognise what he can do but not everyone is equally impressed. Though he becomes something of a celebrity in his small community, even featured on television, others resent him. He is attacked and ends up in hospital in a bed beside Hoppy, now his foster parent, who has suffered a heart attack in the middle of the assault. The television program devoted to Will's story, « Devil Whisperer », portays him as a shy little boy, but a skilled animal communicator, especially with the Tasmanian Devils, themselves a threatened species. However when that program goes to air, his birth mother, who carelessly abandoned him years before, wants to see him. Many wounds are opened when she reappears, bringing chaos and nothing in his newly found refuge can be the same. And somehow in the midst of all the exposure and the pitfalls of small fame, the trials and assaults on a sensitive and vulnerable child, a deep love is nurtured. It is this love that will endure.…
