The after-life has always been one of humanities big mysteries. But while religions and belief-systems of old often has given images of what happens next that serves a certain purpose, today it seems that the idea of what comes after life is more open to interpretation than ever. And interest in after-life literature, such as the whole category of 'near death' experiences, is huge. It is a great thing then, to read something as understated, direct and open-minded as 'Rita's world'. What I really like about this book is that the whole premise is the friendship built up between the author Frank, and Rita. A respectful friendship, centered around their common interest in spirituality and philosophy in life, that simply doesn't end when Rita dies, but rather expands. From where she is on the other side, Rita has access to knowledge about existence that is far beyond ordinary knowledge. Through daily conversations Frank and Rita covers areas such as 'The nature of time,' 'Unlived potential' and 'Good and evil'.
A great read for anybody interested in "the other side."
