Ra : Egypt :: Inti: Peru

I still remember the day I learnt of Ra, Isis and the snake. Myths are so interesting to know. And be ready for one such ride into a foreign land.
Author Leanne Statland Ellis wins the trust of the readers always following native words with common words. In that brief time of a space of a word or two, the reader can imagine what the word might mean, dive and still land in the very pool we know.
I recognized the words chasqui and quipu.
The myths and the stories turn us to imagine red feathers woven into a woolen coat, a man transformed into a stick and so on.
Just like the Chasqui, ever on journey, Micay too takes a journey to the sacred sun city to heal her scars. Instead she learns of her past and the future she is worthy of.
The author's Beyond is believable.
In a brief span of time, the reader is given a primer to Peruvian mythology.
