Product Description

Product Description

After a poverty-stricken childhood, Robert Waller, now a successful businessman and firm believer in Buddhism and reincarnation, is obsessed with the idea of regaining possession of his fortune when he is reborn in his next life. When he finds out his death is imminent, he becomes terrified of repeating those impoverished years and so he devotes the time he has remaining to the task of assuring his comfort in his future life.  To that end, he seeks the aid of an old acquaintance, Sir James Lorton, a well-known expert in oriental religions, to make a strange request: Waller asks Lorton to seek out the child in whom he is reborn, secure the perfect home for him, and, in due time, ensure that Waller alone enjoys the properties he has struggled so hard to amass.
The young man rejects such a preposterous request on principle.  However, some years later, fate will ensure that the proposal is reconsidered, but will Lorton make the right decision?

Fun Metaphysical Story 24 Nov 2011
By Teresa Mustelier - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
I tend to gravitate to books with metaphysical themes and I found Cursed Inheritance on a search for metaphysical fiction. This book is by a Spanish author, Angeles Goyanes, and her writing is spectacular. Her descriptions are detailed and rich beyond most of what I read from English speaking authors and her story has the creative underpinnings that you find in some of writings from authors like Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Isabelle Allende. Mind you this is NOT at all Magic Realism but the way the author mingles real life with fantasy, mysticism and magic feels almost poetic at times. This is not really a book that is about reincarnation. In my opinion this book is about, given a choice, what you would choose for yourself in another life. The philosophical questions that this book explores are ones that you and your family and friends will debate over the dinner table for many hours. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and I cannot imagine anyone not finding a lot to like inside of this book.

Excellent story... highly recommended. 20 Nov 2011
By colin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
This story is about as intriguing as one can get. This is one of the most original books I have ever read. As a fellow author, Angeles has hit a home run with a premise that I wished I had thought of. This book really made me think: who among us wouldn't want to have control over the destinies of our future lives? But is that really the purpose of being reborn? Isn't the idea of reincarnation being that we learn the valuable lessons that each lifetime has to offer, without control over it? The characters are charming, believable and wonderfully sympathetic; the dialogue is full of crisp tone and individuality. "Cursed Inheritance" brings out a myriad of emotions for anyone who reads it. Thanks Angeles, for bringing out these questions in myself!

Just Wow 19 Nov 2011
By Cricket Webber - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition
The premise for this story is fascinating, although this is not normally a book I might have picked up. Robert Waller believes he has found a way to pass along all that he has worked so hard to achieve to his reincarnated self after his death. Lofton has doubts, but circumstances conspire to allow his grudging acceptance eventually. What follows are a series of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Whether or not you believe in reincarnation, the idea of providing a better life for your future self is definitely intriguing. How many of us, however, are truly prepared for the consequences?
