Lila's Dance: A Tale of Two Journeys - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

What does an ascetic monk living in silent seclusion in an Alpine monastery at the end of the 17th century have to do with the step-daughter of the governor on a Caribbean island?

Lila's Dance is an historical fiction that weaves a narrative of adventure and romance with a soul's inner journey and the mystical nature of reality.

The story describes a soul's experiences exploring the infinite and not-so-silent world of inner meditation with an epic tale that touches on four different millennia and three different continents.

Sebastian, born in the Dutch low country in1670, faithfully follows a destiny that leads him to life as Catholic priest in the Grand Chartreuse monastery high in the French Alps, committed to a life of silence and inner exploration. Eventually, he comes to a crisis of faith which propels him into a new world where a different reality awaits him.

Lila is born in 1681 to French parents who are living in a French trading colony on the southern coast of India. Her parents are Huguenots in a time when the Church and King of France are violently persecuting such believers. When her parents return to France, Lila grows into a gifted young woman in Paris society while her family's religion remains precariously hidden from those who would persecute them.

How these two souls come together to support and instruct each other in their divine quests offers the reader a profound understanding of our reality and the power of our consciousness.
