Review: Guesthouse for Ganesha by Judith Teitelman, read by Fajer Al-Kaisi and Soneela Nankani
Guesthouse for Ganesha is the award-winning debut literary novel of talented author Judith Teitelman. Told from the heart in a flowing and at times poetic writing style, this story will captivate and entertain from beginning to end.
In Guesthouse for Ganesha we embark on a 22-year long journey alongside two of the most vivid characters that I met in recent memory. The story is told by the Hindu god Ganesha and through his eyes we are witnessing the life changing events of our main character, Esther.
Set against the backdrops of the European Holocaust and the Hindu Kali Yuga (the “Age of Darkness”) Guesthouse for Ganesha weaves a poignant story of war, peace, self discovery, drama and spirituality.
This thought-provoking work of literature is even more enthralling in audiobook format thanks to fantastic performances delivered by two extremely talented actors. Experienced voice over artist and audiobook narrator Fajer Al-Kaisi brings to life the God Ganesha, while Esther is portrayed by classically trained Brooklyn-based actress and award-winning narrator, Soneela Nankani.
Each of them are doing a fantastic job with the already great content and at the same time bring their own, personal touch to the story. As such, they enrich the narrative experience and help the listeners immerse themselves into this award-winning adventure.
So, if you are in the mood for a thought-provoking, captivating and immersive drama set in the sub genre of magical realism, you should definitely check out Guesthouse for Ganesha. Trust me, you will thank me for the recommendation!
