Coles Child of Duende: A Journey of the Spirit at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
When a twenty-eight-year-old German journalist Ingrid returns to her childhood home of Málaga, Spain, it's to cover a remarkable story: on Señor Ramos's vineyard, the vines are growing out of control. What's more, they appear to be bleeding. Can it possibly be true? Ingrid feels a mysterious connection to the increasingly strange events taking place in her hometown, but why? As Ingrid's story interweaves with that of an eight-year-old child, whose grandmother fates her with the name Duende--a word that refers to the spirit of the earth that one must awaken from within--Ingrid embarks on a journey of personal rediscovery.
Duende dances with Gypsies; speaks with her grandmother's spirit; travels with a nature spirit into the sea; and has dreams that deeply transform her reality and Ingrid's. Ultimately, Ingrid's return home reveals a truth that has been buried in the ground for millennia.
Described by world-renowned teacher and award-winning author Sandra Ingerman as "a beautiful story that will take you into magical and mystical realms," Child of Duende is a journey home. It weaves spiritual and mystical fiction, like that of The Celestine Prophesy and Paulo Coelho's works, with South American magical realism (found in Isabel Allende's writing) and the passion and soul of the Spanish landscape.
