Far Memory

Even for the most doubting Thomas, Joan Grant lucidly and intelligently speaks of her personal experience of reincarnation,making the case for it without trying. This is good writing on an interesting and controversial ( at least in the West ) subject. I found myself wanting to read more of her work and now have, including a new book on her by her granddaughter and a student of hers. A must read for anyone interested in the subject, whether convinced of its validity or no.

Joan Grant writes her autobiographical story here of discovering, at a very young age, abilities and realities we usually consider unreal. Her childhood, in early 20th-century England, was decorated with experiences of other places, other times, and other selves, and she describes these myriad colorful episodes in delightful, whimsical, humorous, and thoughtful terms. Her ability to tap into and then write about other lifetimes makes a charming and piquant story. Highly recommended!
