About this listen
Early unsettling encounters with the Void lead Freya to believe herself a pariah: it is with astonishment she learns this is far from the truth.
Our heroine Freya finds herself plagued at a young age by encounters with the Void. Struggling to make sense of these leads her into all kinds of adventures. She seemingly tumbles haphazardly into a Cuban romance, translating at an ayahuasca retreat in the depths of the Scottish countryside, an angelic manifestation, nodal activation in Cusco, Peru and, not least, having to step in to help resolve a seemingly intractable family problem. Is all this quite random or is there a guiding force at work which has had her back all along?
Lucy E.M. Hunter lives quietly in Edinburgh. Her books aim to convey wisdom gleaned from a lifetime of travel, discovery and adventure. She has an academic background in Religious Studies, specialising in Jewish Mysticism. Rather than follow an academic career, she devoted her life to teaching yoga and raising her children, all the while taking a deep dive into the world of Metaphysics. When not at her desk she loves pottering in her garden, time with her grandchildren and dancing the Argentine tango.

This interesting and beautifully-written book describes the upbringing and adventures of a Scottish young woman, Freya, born with a great desire to explore her world and also her own self. The narrative takes us through the trials and delights of her unusual childhood, amidst a large family, and goes on to detail the stages of the progressive expansion of her awareness, mediated by a university education, a succession of relationships with different men, and her self-discovery while undertaking the remarkable role as assistant and translator to a genuine ayahuasca Peruvian shaman.
Freya’s circumstances, her charm, and her good looks enabled her to embed herself, at least temporarily, in country villages in Cuba and in Peru, and she provides fascinating and authentically insightful portraits of these places and some of their inhabitants. Loving and giving, she is candid about her relationships, and such situations that she gets into like that of not knowing whether she or her current man was the more exploited.
Stage by stage Freya’s enlightenment grows, with recurrent powerful visions leading her forward, bringing her eventually to a condition where she becomes the catalytic healing presence for one of her brothers, who was desperately sick in mind and in need of a true friend. For me, as a reader, it was a real pleasure to imagine myself treading the ancient stone pavements of Cusco and breathing the thin, pure air of the Andes mountains. I would recommend this novel to anyone.
I could not put the book down, it was so well written.
