Finger of an Angel by Panayotis CacoyannisMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Finger of an Angel by Panayotis Cacoyannis introduces us to Lily the sixty year old protagonist who goes on a spiritual journey. Blending realism with time travel and mind bending experiences, the author takes us down an interesting road. As Lily shares her sexual encounters in the woods, cavorting with men, drinking her bloody marys and freaking out about flies, we rally behind her to make sense of her life. There is a fine line between fiction and reality in all of our lives, Lily just seems to lurk in the in between spaces more. Maybe this is how she copes with tragic loss that has infused her life. This is mystical and magical writing, the author well versed in keeping the reader on his or her toes. When you think logically things should veer one way in the story, they go another. Wholly unique and a challenging read, this book is highly recommended.
