This is very intriguing. It certainly would be interesting to discover about other peoples past life and will even lead you to wonder about your own. I don't think this is a book I will be reading though.

Sound like a fun book to read. One that I will enjoy reading. I do wish the descriptions were better. Would have also been neat if she was able to regress in other lives too. Great review!

Although, I don't believe on the concept of past life but I am a fan of psychological stories so I would probably give it a read. Thanks for the review :)

I have never known or imagined that regressions can be this such serious as a topic. Reading this review, It has made me desire to read this book which is so much filled with psychology and history at the same time. Thanks for this review.

According to the fiction world, your past actions defines your future and nothing can be done about it. But in the current world you can break free from strings of the past actions. I like how the author combines fiction, psychology and history to make the narration more attractive. I don't think i'll read the book though. Thank you for your kind review.

Historical fiction and psychology in a one book is fascinating to read. These will provide authentic and believable details related to the story . Thanks for the review.

Thank you for the review. I read and reviewed Yesterday and that book also used Past Life Regression Therapy, but it did not go into detail; hopefully, this book will answer some of the questions Yesterday raised. Was the violent scene you mentioned from the regression to her previous life when she was a Romani woman during the Spanish Inquisition?

It appears like in this book I may find nice combination of psychology , fiction, and history. I am intrigued by reading your review for mentioning that in this book the psychological treatment involves past life regression, which i believed to be imaginary concept. I hope i may learn something new reading this book.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

The idea of having a past life is not an idea that I believe in, but I wouldn't dismiss a book just for that reason. The fact that this book deals with psychology makes it a huge turnoff for me. After dealing with a few psychologists over the years for an autistic child, I'm very turned off by the profession. Thank you for an honest and insightful review, it has helped me to decide this is not a book I'll be reading.

I am surprised that this book is so short, and that Laura's case, of only one past life, is not completed in this book. Since Laura has always been confined to a wheelchair, I wonder if she will ever be able to dance or not.

Hypnotism is usually a very intriguing topic. I am not so sure about it being possible but persons claimed to have experienced going back to their past lives under hypnosis. Sorry about the editorial flaws. Thank you for your insightful review.

I find this book interesting. Laura has caught my attention being that she is in a wheelchair and having always had the feeling that she wants to be a dancer. I want to know how her story ends and find it disappointing though that there is no ending. Being that it is such a short book I’ll put it in my wtr.

The concept of Past Life Regression is something I find very intriguing as it offers an interesting perspective into human behaviour. Your review arouses interest in the book even though your observation about the short length and lack of depth in description may disappoint expectations.
