My opinion is that the translation from the original language into the English is poor. The essence of the story and the poetic and surreal language is totally lost in the translation.

It is one of the most extraordinary and richest stories I have experienced. This 'spiritual thriller' captures the intensity of the 'dance of the Divine', brimming with comedy and high drama. It has more classic 'one liners' than James Bond and could in fact be made into an extraordinary film. I can relate to the loss of mother awakening a deep yearning. I also recognize the cloak of 'inner silence' as worn by She Almighty. Although this is not a spiritual 'How to', Peter's knowledge of classical music and spirituality may offer a student areas of study and will ensure that this will be found on the bookshelves of individual religious and spiritual communities world-wide. I am deeply grateful for this book and would echo the previous poster who requested a sequel. I have just finished re-reading The Quiet Girl for the second time.

With it, you have captured the core essence of a life that reflects and unmasks my own. I hope the unfolding of these teachings, like variations on a theme, will continue in your future work.
