Author Description

The Pokhraj crystallises the meaning of the soul's experience; it is a story of a person whose life is dominated by the latent memory of a previous love and death, a fascinating tale of mystery, philosophy, and romance. Irina Gajjar combines her Jewish and Hindu backgrounds into rich reading. A yellow sapphire, the Pokhraj links the past, the present, and the future through birth and rebirth. This upbeat story of Jewish characters touched by Indian culture suggests possibilities of reincarnation, brings thoughts of life from the moment of conception, and opens windows to the inner workings of the soul. It follows karma as foretold by an Indian fortune-teller, a rich picture of life as we have never imagined it. The clues are all there, but do we know how to understand the signs? The Pokhraj works philosophy, romance, and laughter into a mysterious futuristic tale.
