Throughout her travails, using cunning and shrewdness, Esther relies on her masterful tailoring skills to help mask her Jewish heritage, navigate war-torn Europe, and emigrate to India. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEsther's traveling companion and the novel's narrator is Ganesha, the elephant-headed Hindu God worshipped by millions for his abilities to destroy obstacles, bestow wishes, and avenge evils. Impressed by Esther's fortitude and relentless determination, born of her deep--though unconscious--understanding of the meaning and purpose of love, Ganesha, with compassion, insight, and poetry, chooses to highlight her story because he recognizes it is all of our stories--for truth resides at the essence of its telling. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWeaving Eastern beliefs and perspectives with Western realities and pragmatism, \u003ci\u003eGuesthouse for Ganesha\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of love, loss, and spirit reclaimed.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 352\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 07, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47247938879737,"sku":"9781631525216","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/UW90WHRqeEVxVVF1TWMwNkg4YysvQT09_71f0988c-8399-417b-b378-a5cc364126e1.webp?v=1768630859","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/guesthouse-for-ganesha-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
