Claire D : As wonderful as the first book!
Bali has been my 2nd home since my daughter moved there nearly 2 decades ago. It is the people and the culture that I love, not the crowded tourist areas. I couldn't put this book down, just like the first book. The writer really draws you in, bringing the characters to life. It was quite an emotional experience for me. I highly recommend 'The Island Continues to Listen'.
Coby: Eye opener!
I live in Bali in Lipah. My husband is Indo, born in Bandung. 20 years ago hé became Hindu. Now not really practicing anymore. We try to follow this special way of life . Those books give me a better and totally different idea about the Balinese Hindu community! Thank you so much. I hope to meet you once!
Beth: A fabulous read.
The second book of "Whispers" explains the ramification of a love of two people from different countries. The story is breathtakingly beautiful - with the reality of the merger of two cultures- the problems that arose - and how these two people overcame them.
This book oozes with the love for Bali. It doesn't whisper that love - it shouts it from the pages.
Bali is my second home too.
Caz: Captivating yet again
Once you start you just cant stop reading! A descriptive, heart warming journey of 2 cultures becoming one. If you know, you know - the whispers of Bali are forever guiding you
Dawn: The Island That Whispers
Great story that also is a great introduction to Balinese Hindu life. Set in a part of Bali that is very familiar to me. Makes me feel like I am there with the characters. The explanations of ceremonies and festivals are very accurate and factual. A great read.

Good afternoon
Thoroughly enjoyed reading the island that whispers, as Bali is like a second home for me and was lovely to read about and have the culture explained.
Left me feeling as though I was with Hannah and Gede on their journey 🥰🥰

Jacinta's Destiny
Reviewed in the United States on 28 December
I lost myself in the book, I felt like I was back in Bali...I could imagine the smells, the scenery and the people, this book took me to the place I adore. I especially loved how the author made a cross cultural link with the Australian / Indonesian connection. I loved the cultural aspect of the book, many things I wondered about in Bali, but never knew the answers until reading Jacinta's Destiny... thanks for writing such an awesome book Marlo Muller, I cant wait for the next book. Will Jacinta be in it? By the way.... I read very slowly... usually a couple of weeks to read a book... I loved this story sooooo much I read it in two days.
If your planning a holiday in Bali..... defiantly read this before you go!!!!

A Wonderful Book.
Reviewed in the United States on 7 October
What an amazing book. I started this book basically because of the Author not the story - Once I began reading I was hooked. My respect and curiosity about Bali and it's traditions grew with each chapter. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to read "Jacinta's Destiny". I loved this e-book and found myself looking forward to bedtime so I was able to read it. Thank you so much for sharing what is a huge talent for writing. I am very much looking forward to your next book. To potential buyers of this book - do yourself a favour and purchase it - you too will be taken in by the story of Jacinta.

Jacinta's Destiny
Reviewed in the United States on 14 October A brilliant story which made me laugh and cry. I thoroughly enjoyed escaping to Jacinta's world every night as I read it and it was definitely one of those books that you didn't want to end. This book is so well written it not only had me wanting to run off to Bali but I fell in love with all of the characters on introduction and would happily read another book based on any one of them. Bring on book #2!
