From Fiji, the action moves to Spain, and the momentum builds. We discover that Ana is in fact a famous flamenco dancing gypsy, and that she bears a striking resemblance to the subject of a painting completed 200 years before her birth: Goya's Maja Nuda. It is also revealed that Ana's life--like that of her ancestors--is punctuated by the appearance of a time-travelling dwarf. These mysteries come as challenges and we are asked to make sense of them.
Maya is a novel with big themes: love, loss, ecology, evolution and consciousness. It is also ambitiously told with its multiple locations and its many narrative voices. But John Sessions handles this well with a pace and style that prevent the listener from losing the action. The novel closes with a puzzle, but also with the recognition that life, while baffling at times, is certainly rich and must be lived fully. --Judith Walters
