This is the LARGE PRINT of Nanima (Book 1 of Nanima Series). Nanima is a place of rivers and soil, memory and mystery. It is also the next step in Maliyan’s spiritual life—one shaped not by confusion or loss, but by readiness. Her arrival in the small rural town deepens her connection to the energetic fabric of existence: the pull of ancestry, the guidance of nature, and the relationships that shape her inner and outer world. One such relationship is with Luna—a vibrant and unpredictable companion whose wit and humour reveal a quick mind, but also veil a tender and searching soul. While Maliyan offers him steady love and spiritual insight, Luna begins—however haltingly—to respond. Their connection is turbulent yet rich, shaped by unspoken affection, emotional honesty, and the stirrings of a deeper awakening. Nanima is the first step in a contemplative spiritual fiction series that honours the land beneath our feet, the knowing within our hearts, and the sacred moments that change us. I gobbled up Nanima. It's so comforting to have your presence through these books. I very much relate to the narrator, so curiously and wisely witnessing this world. Lara - Journey to spiritual awakening through nature. Nanima is well-written. The book is broken up into 47 small chapters. It is interesting how the different people in the book treat Maliyan differently based on their perceptions. Throughout the book, Maliyan stresses her thoughts on the earth being sacred and spiritual. Her thoughts on a church being full of healing power but closed most of the time is enlightening. Lynsey Reads Romance - Divine and Enchanting The story shows that life's challenges can make people forget or lose the feeling of simplicity, magic, and beauty in a child's place. I like Maliyan's interactions with Luna and her coffee shop visits at Luna Tiks; the feeling of staying in Euroka's place; Mrs Knuckle, the leaf-reader whom Maliyan knew would talk about her; the part where Maliyan visits the resting place of her parents and also when she attended church. It's refreshing, enlightening and inspirational! Philos Delights - Such a great story . Donna Goddard is an excellent writer. This story really makes you think about your own spirituality and personal growth. Maliyan connects with different people in interesting ways. I especially liked her interaction with her chiropractor about the karmic dumping that takes place when he cracked her neck. This is so symbolic and true. This is one of the best stories I have read in a while! S Ito - A story with something special. We learn about the people Maliyan connects with in Nanima. Luna, who runs the Luna Tiks Cafe. Euroka, a mystic kind of character. Mrs Knuckle. Her uncle, who is still living on a farm just outside the town. And others. Goddard does this in an especially interesting way. She envelopes her story with spiritual wisdom and insight. I keep on going back to this book. I am looking forward to more books in this series. Sandra - Well written and thought provoking. The book is well-written and the author skillfully weaves together themes of spirituality, self-discovery, and personal growth. The characters are relatable and the plot is engaging. The book is accessible to readers from all backgrounds and belief systems. It is a thought-provoking and inspiring novel, a must-read for anyone who is on a spiritual journey of their own or who is looking for a meaningful and engaging story. May D - Brilliant writing . A meaningful insight, written in an understandable style. Robyn B. - A really good book. This book is a gem. I enjoyed the spiritual dimension of this story about people living in a small Australian town. Goddard adds her special wisdom. Reminds me of Jane Austen. SR - Spiritual in the best way. Definitely, a great book, and I will be looking into more from this author. Caitlyn T - A spiritual experience. An unusual fiction. Goddard's book is a great depiction without being stereotypical.
