Heart wrenching love story
On the other side: Memories of a past life is written as the story of a former life of the author, Adria Sanders. However, the story itself is a fascinating read.
It is a tragic love story set in Cuba in the early 1900s. The cultural descriptions and historical references are gripping. My husband's family is from Cuba, but I knew little about it other than the history we learn in school from the later part of the century. The descriptive passages made ne feel like I was there. I liked that the author included reference links for additional information.
Even if you don't believe in past lives, I recommend this for hopeless romantics and lovers of historical fiction.

Each reader can perceive the book from various angles. There are readers who will only see the sensitive, dramatic story, with a little thriller, mystery and a lot of psychology. Other readers will be impressed by the author's experience in trying to deal with experiences from a previous life.

"On the Other Side: A Past Life Spiritual Journey" by Adria Sanders is an evocative dive into past life memories, weaving together a love story and the mysteries of the soul. The novel transports readers to early 20th-century Cuba, where we follow the tragic tale of Ana and Rico. Sanders does a brilliant job of describing Cuba's lush landscapes and vibrant culture, adding rich and immersive historical depth.
However, the book's use of short, punchy sentences distracted me. Rather than building intensity, it sometimes disrupted the story's flow. It made it harder to fully sink into the emotional weight of Ana's journey. Despite this, Sanders' poetic touch in describing lucid dreams and the ethereal connection to past lives adds an enchanting layer. Her insights into astral travel and the journey of the soul are both intriguing and thought-provoking, ideal for those curious about spirituality.
Though some readers may find the pacing uneven and would appreciate a more fluid writing style, the story is still a compelling exploration of identity and destiny. For those fascinated by past life regression and spiritual awakenings, ‘On the Other Side’ offers a unique glimpse into what might lie beyond. It's a memorable read that lingers despite some stylistic quirks.

I wasn't expecting this to be a love story when I read it but Im glad of the direction in which the story unfurled. I loved the style of writing, with the short, chopping sentences and vivid imagery and expressions of emotions. The use of the word passion is prevalent in the style of writing. You can feel the authors passion for the story, sharing the experience and story that arose from their lucid dreams. Lucid dreams that Ana also experiences during her tumultuous but short life. I don't think one has to believe in the idea of past lives in order to enjoy this book. Though, there is beauty in the idea of having a past life, and being destined for certain inevitabilities. From the beginning, the author invites you to read it like a novel or take it in like a movie and it flowed just fine in that aspect. The story was very emotional and you feel for so many characters, from Ama, to Ana's dad, to Paco, Ana and Rico. I enjoyed the complexity of each character and this is a book I can see myself picking up again to explore that varying nuances that make up the story. Well written and interesting. Would recommend.

I had a hard time with this book. It was well-written and by all accounts, an engaging read delivered with earnest intent. However, I had a difficult time believing the author when she spoke of her personal experiences. This book is part autobiographical and part fiction which I don't think worked as well as it could have. The fiction watered down the author's intention to bare her soul and experiences, to share space with the readers.
Nonetheless, it is a feat to write a 300+ page book. I applaud Adria Sanders for that. I enjoyed the poetic moments, and often Sanders gave the readers something incredibly intriguing to latch onto--Ana and Rico's story is enticing and a book of their story alone would have been great to hold.
I don't deny Sanders her experiences, nor do I disagree with the existence of past lives. However, I do think that this book is just two books shoved into one when more separateness would have gone a long way toward understanding and engagement.

I did enjoy reading this book overall, and it got more interesting the further I got. It was hard to get into at first, and I almost had to put it down but I'm glad I kept reading. The beginning was a bit slow and hard to follow, but after the first chapter and a half-ish it really picked up steam and was fun to read.

This book has a lot of potential however it is in need of some editing. Great read overall. I do recommend this. Won from goodreads.

Either we believe or not in past lives, that doesn't mean they don't exist.
The fact that some of us can experience the consciousness of another existence, could give us something to think about...
But not matter if we believe in previous lives or not, each of us can find ourselves in the pages of this emotional book, in which we find everything that makes us Human: the struggle for ideals, solidarity, love, the power to go to the end and to start over again, acceptance, forgiveness, hope.
