Devi

by Devashish

Overview

Fresh from a painful divorce, Rodrigo Arroyo boards a plane for India where he plans to spend his one-year sabbatical writing his long-dreamed-of first novel, a work of historical fiction set in India that he hopes will finally launch his quest for artistic immortality. He finds the perfect place to write: a clean, quiet ashram in the foothills of the Himalayas where no one will bother him as he sends his thoughts into the clear mountain air. He soon finds out, however, that the goddess has other plans for him. A chance encounter with an Indian holy woman and the unsought-for company of seekers and yogis soon transform his artistic quest into a journey of spiritual awakening, and his search for personal redemption into a tryst with the laughing eyes of the goddess.
