I first read this book about 10 years ago and for anyone with more than a passing interest in reincarnation and medieval history this book is a real gem.
The book is about the recollections of a young english schoolgirl whilst under hypnosis. Her recollections are of a past life in the Languedoc region of France in the 13th century. There she encountered a Dualist sect of supposed heretics, the Cathars, who were eventually wiped out by the inquisition.
What is amazing about this book is that at the time the young girl recalled her past lives the Cathars were little heard of and even less written about them. In fact today many people have never heard of them. What else is remarkable is that the girl was able to give checkable evidence to the author who became convinced of that her memories were true.
This is an inspiring if somewhat sad book in places but worthy of a read.
