It is a true story, about the connection I have always felt with my aunt Sue who died tragically in 1932 from TB, at the age of 20. I never knew Sue but I have also always been fascinated by the 1920s, even in childhood, being captivated by the Charleston. In adulthood I have loved researching this period, in which both Harry Clarke and Arthur Kingsley Porter lived, two men I have written about and researched for several years. When I was living in Dublin at the age of 26, I went for a spiritual reading and I was stunned when I was told that I had lived before in the 1920s, as a family member who had died in her 20s. This is at the heart of my book, my search to find the truth about my connection with my aunt Sue. (less)
