The Jigsaw Woman

Description for THE JIGSAW WOMAN by Kim Antieau:

Steeped in mythology yet told with a fresh modern voice, this brilliant tale of one woman's self-discovery has thrilled lovers of folklore, myth and fantasy, Keelie is created, from the bodies of three different women, to be a plaything for her doctor.  Not satisfied with the life given to her, she sets out to find one of her own, embarking upon an amazing quest that will bring her closer to the reality of her incredible heritage.

Guided by the tempestuous goddess Eriskegal, Keelie uncovers pain and healing, love and anger, acceptance and, above all, the primordial truths that lie buried deep within the Earth.  From ancient battles and violent witch-hunts to Amazonian paradise and Sumerian hell, she spirals through epic distortions of history and magic.  And she finds that her very salvation may depend not on the promise of the future---but on the lessons learned in the past...
