Book Review: A Mesmerizing Memoir
Summary: 4 Stars
Asra Q. Nomani had me absolutely hooked from the first page with her description of a ring-necked parakeet named Cheenie Bhai. I was immediately drawn into a foreign world made totally visible by her enchanting words, and then my literary senses were tickled by her explanation, in the most exquisite wordplay, of how two languages could intertwine and become one. Nomani's account of her travels to research Tantric practices are what originally attracted me to her book, but her travels took me with her in a search for her ancestry, her roots, and for who she was as a woman. Her strength and independence, riding her motorcycle into the Himalayas to see the Dalai Lama, inspired me as an individual and a woman in search of spirituality. Her account of her return to her childhood home, Latif Manzil, and the descriptions of her realtionships with relatives (especially her cousin-sisters) and friends were intimate portraits into a life lived with a passion. She pursued her own "shakti," or inner strength and power, with an open-minded courage that I admired. Reading Nomani's story, I traveled to many new places as if I was accompanying her. Her words opened up other worlds and other viewpoints, and left me with the feeling of strength and inner peace that emanated from the last pages of her unforgettable memoir. I will strive to be a Tantrika in my own life thanks to the gift of her story.
