The Book of Our Past Lives

Rate this book
"The greatest love letter ever written." Two soul mates find each other, only to be separated for a short time thereafter. Separated by miles and inaccessible to each other via phone, fax or email, one soul mate occupies his/her days (we are never told the sex of either soul mate, which makes the book all the more fascinating) by writing the stories of their past lives together. Though their gender, bodies, and sexual orientation change each life, the recurring thread is the love they share with each other. Each chapter represents a different past life the lovers share with each other.

More than I was hoping for. It expanded my imagination in a very unexpected way! Even the erotica was tastefully written. It's very different and entrancing!

Absolutely beautiful and mesmerizing. I couldn't stop reading and finished it in one sitting. I'm left with a soft gentle feeling of faith, love and patience. I think I'm actually kinder today after reading The Book of Our Past Lives. Hard to explain, just feel more connected to everyone and everything around me. It is unlike anything I've read before - a combination of beautiful writing and story telling, timeless message and some extremely hot erotica in some parts. Each chapter is a different past life the lovers shared, and wow are the lives different. Makes for an incredibly page turning and deep read. Highly recommend - climb into this one with an open mind,and you'll come out the other end happily surprised.

stunning book that I didn't want to end. Each chapter delves into one of the lovers' past lives with each other. I don't want to spoil it so won't give much more than that. Be prepared for hot erotica in the second half of the book - makes 50 Shades of Grey seem like sleepy porn, not mommy porn. This takes it to a different level - two souls making love in different lifetimes...as different people/genres etc.
If you're grumpy or don't believe in love you probably won't like this book honestly, because it is so full of love. true love.
If you believe in true love that lasts through lifetimes, this book will re-ignite and confirm your belief.
Unlike anything I've ever read.
Highly highly recommend!

Interesting and very touching...it is a well written story. It's a bit campy, but for a romance novel, it takes us on a fascinating journey of the various lives of two beings, as they reincarnate in different times, places and even creatures. It's a feeling we often feel, when falling in love with someone, but this author has put that feeling into a narration of a letter, to the one she loves in the form of wonderful imaginary circumstances, ones totally unexpected.

This book is amazing, magical, and oh so special. It is truly a great and passionate love story. I didn't want it to end, I couldn't get enough of the "past lives". This book is a must read for anyone who believes in soulmates. I would LOVE to read more from this author!
