The Mystic's Wife: A novel about Living with a Free Spirit - E-book - ePub

This might be the gentlest novel you read this year, but it might also be the most powerful. What do you do when your children are going hungry and your husband is more interested in 'philosophising' than putting food on the table?In A Mystic's Wife, Tima Lee has given us a gem. It is set in a faraway land, nearly two and a half thousand years ago, but don't expect 'Historical Fiction'. This book is more personal than that.
Its timeless world might feel strangely close to home. Based on characters and anecdotes from one of the earliest texts of Taoism, The Chuang Tzu or Zhuangzi, it talks of the balance we all need to find in life. This wisdom, echoing down so many centuries, is even more relevant today, as the world races around ever faster, with so many of us wondering whether it all really needs to be quite like this.
If your life is so full that it's hard to imagine finding time for stillness, at least take time to read this book. It might help you to see your future. You might find that living your life becomes a whole lot easier. You might even find that it becomes fun!
