On his twenty-first birthday Sean
Corrigan receives the diary of an uncle he didn't know he had. Uncle
Michael fled the US to avoid a murder charge. With his father's
encouragement, Sean goes to Ireland to try to discover what happened
to his uncle. In Ireland things become very strange. Sean has dreams
that seem to relate to another time. He half remembers the people he
meets. His cousin Anne tries to help him understand that things are
not always what they seem. Some people can actually remember their
past lives and the people you meet in this life may have been with
you before.
I found the book very intriguing. The
setting in Ireland was well done. You felt you were there. The
descriptions of the Troubles when Ireland was fighting for
independence made you think. I did find all the discussion of
reincarnation a bit too much. For me, a taste of it would have been
interesting, but in the second half of the book, Fox got rather
carried away describing the philosophy of reincarnation. It bogged
down the action.
If you're interested in Irish history
and like Irish authors, you'll enjoy this book. However, if you find
the idea of reincarnation disturbing, give it a miss.
I reviewed this book as part of the
Amazon Vine Program: Until the Next Time by Kevin Fox.
