Do we really have past lives? At one level this is a thrilling romance adventure from the 17th century. But it is all true. Jenny Smedley's life was changed in the moment she recognized Garth Brooks, American country music singer, as her husband from an earlier life. Under hypnosis she began to recall the life they led together, and wrote this astonishing tale of love and sacrifice, murder, death and renewal. She later found many points of confirmation of her story. It also changed her from an overweight, suicidal woman to a successful song writer, newspaper columnist and TV presenter.
I’m not sure how to rate this. On the basis of the writing, maybe a 2. It is simple writing and there is no getting away from it. The story however, is intriguing. I am open minded on the question of reincarnation, but am aware that there are more people alive today than in the total previous millennia of our planet. This is of course based on current knowledge so may, or may not be accurate. I do totally accept that people can know things without there being a practical explanation. This book will not give any answers and raises more questions than anything. But, we’ve all felt that dejà vu feeling and I’m prepared to admit the possibility that reincarnation exists. I pray that in 2020, we will at least learn from our past mistakes.
