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.

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.…
