She of the Mountains Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

A "Globe 100" Best Book of the Year (The Globe and Mail)
 Lambda Literary Award Finalist

In the beginning, there is no he. There is no she.

Two cells make up one cell. This is the mathematics behind creation. One plus one makes one. Life begets life. We are the period to a sentence, the effect to a cause, always belonging to someone. We are never our own.

This is why we are so lonely.

She of the Mountains is a beautifully rendered novel by Vivek Shraya, the author of the Lambda Literary Award finalist God Loves Hair. Shraya weaves a passionate, contemporary love story between a man and his body, with a re-imagining of Hindu mythology. Both narratives explore the complexities of embodiment and the damaging effects that policing gender and sexuality can have on the human heart.

Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the country’s greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.

Beautiful, poetic book, with lovely illustrations. Explores themes of sexuality, humanity, and self discovery. In addition, one of the only books I've ever read with good bisexual representation. Absolutely would recommend!

This book is creative, unique, deep, personal and insightful. I was in awe the whole time and have purchased it as a gift for friends. Vivek is very brave bringing this story, sorely needed, into the the melting pot of modern literature, making our pool of stories richer, more inclusive and more truthful.

A quick read that shows a life perspective that is sorely lacking from mainstream reads. 4/5 as I would have loved more plot (author attempts to cover a wide range of experience, with little depth). Give it a try!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh, visceral
Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2022
A refreshing writing style that captures the emotional struggle of exploring, understanding (and not understanding) yourself, and learning to love it anyway. An unapologetically queer story that reminds us that identities rarely fit into neat boxes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2021
This is an amazing story! The weaving of reimagined Hindu mythology with the love story of a questioning man is beautifully done. There are parallels that bring forth contemplation and discussion of gender and sexuality. It discusses how damaging labels can be to self-awareness and the enjoyment of love, wherever it's found. I highly recommend this books and if you listen to the audiobook you get to hear the author sing!

Beat read in a long time, couldn't put it down.
Thought provoking and so cleverly written. An interest in the subject matter adds to the enjoyment but previous knowledge is not required.
The world needs more people to read this book and others like it.

Wonderful book with beautiful prose and imagery. I suggest slowing down with this read and taking it all in. My only complaint is that I wanted a bit "more" - both in length of the book and in depth of the mythology

This book was really nice to read, a lot of introspection and interest occurs while reading; unfortunately it was a bit too short, left me wanting more!
