The book deals with several dark topics, all too real and relatable.
You follow Paro, a Kashmiri girl, from her childhood to womanhood who is taught the ways of life by gods and goddesses themselves. More than poetry, it was more like a verse novel. This was my first Gill, and I’m thoroughly impressed. Got lucky enough to have this masterpiece in the middle of a festival of goddesses! Nikita Gill's vivid poetry and beautiful illustrations have captured hearts and imaginations-but in The Girl and the Goddess, she offers us her most personal and deeply felt writing to date: an intimate coming-of-age story told in linked poems that offers a look into the Hindu mythology and rich cultural influences that helped her become the woman she is today. In the process, Paro must confront fear, desire and the darkest parts of herself in the search for meaning and, ultimately, empowerment. Born into a family reeling from the ruptures of Partition in India, we follow her as she crosses the precarious lines between childhood, teenage discovery, and realizing her adult self. A girl with a strong will, a full heart, and much to learn. Give her heart armor so it doesn't break as easily as mine Let her be a little less human, a little more divine Bestselling poet, writer, and Instagram sensation Nikita Gill returns with a collection of poetry and prose exploring Hindu mythology and legend.
