We are very lucky to live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, BUT we only get about 2 months of sunshine, so we try to get outside as much as possible. This is about a 7 mile round trip hike to Lena Lake, it was absolutely gorgeous that day!
I was happy I brought The Earthspinner by Anuradha Roy with me, it was the perfect spot for this book! This published on 7/5/22, thank you @harperviabooks for this gifted copy!
Check out this synopsis! One night, Elango has a dream that consumes him, driving him to give it shape. The potter is determined to create a terracotta horse whose beauty will be reason enough for its existence. Yet he cannot pin down from where it has galloped into his mind. The Mahabharata? The Trojan horse legend? His anonymous potter-ancestors? Once it’s finished, he does not know where his creation will belong. In a temple compound? Gracing a hotel lobby? Or should he gift it to Zohra, the woman he loves, yet despairs of ever marrying. Moving between India and England, The Earthspinner reflects the many ways in which the East and the West’s paths converge and diverge in constant conflict. Anuradha Roy breathes new life into ancient myths, giving allegorical shape to the terrifying war on reason and the imagination waged by increasingly powerful forces of fanaticism. An epic that is a metaphor for our age, The Earthspinner is an intricate, wrenching novel about the transformed ways of loving and living in an increasingly uncertain world.”
