More About the Author
Product Description
International Herald Tribune
An extraordinary book ... deserves to be taken seriously
Product Description
This is no ordinary life history. This autobiography takes us from Barbro Karlen's early fame in her native Sweden as a bestselling child literary sensation to her years as a policewoman and a successful horse trainer. As a victim of discrimination, personal vendettas, media assassination, libel, and attempted murder, Karlen was forced to fight for her very being. In the dramatic conclusion to her living nightmare, she is shown the karmic background to these events. This knowledge finally frees her to be herself. This is the story of a superhuman struggle for truth in the face of discrimination and lies.

Was she really Anne Frank reincarnated?, 1 Aug 2000
By Rabbi Yonassan Gershom - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: And the Wolves Howled: Fragments of Two Lifetimes (Paperback)
This is the long--awaited English translation of "Und die Woelfe heulten," the controversial bio-novel in which Swedish writer Barbro Karlen claims to be the reincarnation of Anne Frank -- yes, THE Anne Frank who wrote famous diary. The book created quite a stir in the German-speaking world when it first came out in 1997. There were angry protests, as well as attempts to stop its publication, on the part of a small segment of the Jewish population who believed in neither reincarnation nor freedom of speech -- all of which I reported in "Life and Soul" magazine (London) in 1998. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed, and the book was published. I'm giving it five stars -- not because I really believe she was Anne Frank (I'm skeptical) but as a vote of free speech for a very brave author. The book raises some real questions about how issues from one life might be carried over into another, and how they might be resolved. Regardless of whether you decide the story is fact or fiction, "And the Wolves howled" is a very thought-provoking read!

terrific story, touching portrayal., 20 Jan 2003
By Stephen Carew - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: And the Wolves Howled: Fragments of Two Lifetimes (Paperback)
I read and re-read Ms. Karlen's book and found it to be a heartfelt commentary on the persistence and tenacity of the human spirit. I believe this book and Lance Armstrong's book both illustrate how one person can overcome seemingly insurmountable odds and emerge a winner.

Huh?, 28 Dec 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: And the Wolves Howled: Fragments of Two Lifetimes (Paperback)
Never have I been as perplexed about a book as with this selection.Aside from the back that the writing style/ language is droning, montone and without texture of any kind, I don't know what the book was aiming to explain. The story is Boring- I had to search high and low for details about the re-incarnation aspects.This subject, which claims to be the main one of this book actually takes a back seat to the authors mundane tales of dressage, and I supposes tales of persecution.
I am usually delighted by a nice photo section, but here again I was mystified by the selection: a photo of the author at age 2, age 2 1/2, age 7, age 12, another age 12, different headshot pose, one of the author in 1981 next to a horse, another in 1989 with two horses and "a colleague"- no identification , another photo of the author on a horse, late 1980's, another horse photo with the author, 1989, another of the author (surprise!) with a horse, 1991, and then a headshot of the author 1997, and then a different pose 1998.No other photos of persons, objects, buildings, streets, family members documents- basically nothing besides that author in her dresssage get-up ,or a studio portrait of her face.This is so eerie.
I have read hundreds and hundreds of biographies, memoirs, including dozens of narratives of people's experiences with past life regressions and the like.This one is a doozie, this lady is just plain flaky and a poor storyteller as well.Sorry- add me to the extensive list of people who the author claims to be persecuted by.
