5 Star review Chic LIT Book Cafe
from Micah Giordonela, CLBC Top Reads and Featured Favorite Authors.
Poignant, strong, and incredibly thought-provoking.
Morgan Maugaran’s Reflect is an extraordinary story and a peek into the reality of one woman’s open mind……This is a deeply interesting book that completely unwinds the mind.
The characters, Sarah, Ian, and Sarah’s friends are all thoughtfully created with balance and depth. The unique concept of the story expertly creates a bridge between spiritualism and fantasy, which adds plenty of intrigue, making the book hard to resist.
It’s just as much an experience for the reader as it is for Sarah.
Reflect is a strong opener to Maugaran’s Rumored Woman series, and we can’t wait to read the next book in this remarkable series….
“This polished novel finds insights in a seeker’s spiritual journey with her own doppelganger.”
This searching and intimate novel from Magauran starts off the Rumored Woman series with a journey into the psychological, the metaphysical, and above all the personal as Sarah, a spiritual seeker, faces not just herself in a mirror but her doppelganger—a counter-Sarah on the other side of “the veil between the seen and unseen worlds.”
Sarah plunges deep into memory, arriving at new understandings of herself, her fear of relationships, and what her life is for. This kind of adventure-into-self storytelling is by its nature episodic, driven by personal discovery ….seekers fascinated by interior travelogs will find this a uniquely mature treatment, with psychological insights and compellingly dramatized incidents from Sarah’s past.
Magauran writes polished, inviting prose and dialogue, attuned to Sarah’s practical concerns.
“Beware, Magauran’s characters and questions will wend their way into your days long after the book is finished.”
