Time after time he wakes up with his heart pounding. In an attempt to deal with a terrible dream, Max goes on a journey that leads him to Cornwall, to a man named Rupert Dash. Melbourne, 1995 Seventy-five-year-old Florence Leveson receives a strange letter... From the author of “Remember My Voice” - a novel based on real events. Simon Jacobs told me about the real events, but I shrouded the truth in the veil of fiction. I think our readers will want to know which of all this is true and which is fiction. Simon's story is the heart of the novel. She is truthful from the first to the last word. Everything really happened. As a child, Simon was really tormented by visions of bloody battles with him, Simon, participating. Simon actually met with a medium, and the medium not only explained to him that such visions were memories of a past life, but also predicted that Simon would write a book about reincarnation, because this was the purpose of his life. Simon actually underwent regression hypnosis and learned from the hypnotherapist that it is quite common for soul transmigration to occur among members of the same family. And Simon did do some significant research. All this happened. And all this is true. Some of you, my readers, will consider our novel a complete fiction. Well, just enjoy reading! But someone, having pulled back the artistic veil, will join a new experience and think about the goals that our souls pursue in this world. For whom is this book? For those who want to read a novel that evokes both tears and the brightest feelings. For book fans Kristin Hannah and Jojo Moyes. For those who liked the novels “The Time Traveler’s Wife” by Audrey Niffenegger, “Blackberry Winter” by Sarah Gio, “The Light We Lost” by Jean Santopolo. Published in Russian for the first time.
