Josie Smith’s Tamboura is a book about the music of life. It is the story of transformation, of the search for meaning in our modern world. Essentially it is one woman’s answers to the age-old existential questions: Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of my life? It is also a celebration of the magical way music nourishes the soul. And it is the story of Joanna and Eddie, and how the tamboura became a catalyst for change and spiritual awakening in their lives.
Josie was born in London, now lives in West Wales and holds a Master’s degree in Creative and Scriptwriting from the University of Wales St David’s. She has written a memoir, two novels, a film script, two plays, some short stories and many poems. She has also rendered several scriptural stories for an international spiritual website.
