I love the conversational way the author shares his story. Takes me right in like a great big hug. MALAIKA by Van Heerling comforts you as the tale plays out. The writing is smooth and sharp. Never trying too hard. Written in a realistic familiar tone. I love that inviting feeling that was MALAIKA. I was entertained and captivated at the same time. I loved the telling of the story. Really grabbed my attention. A beautifully crafted adventure that was vivid and moving. Highly recommend! This was a surprising find. I like to download from Amazon's top 100 (free) best seller's list and I stumbled upon this novella. I didn't know what I was getting into and there's not many books that can bring a literal tear to my eye, but this one certainly did. It's short, yet touching. I wish I could do this book (and author) justice by describing it the way it deserves, but I'm no wordsmith. All I know is, I was left with a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction when I least expected it. It was truly wonderful!
Very short book or "booklet", but the writing was beautiful and very touching.
