Opis

A story to read before you close your eyes, just in case it turns out to be for the last time! A rare piece of original fiction that will call to you from your bookshelf again and again. Drawing on factual ideas from modern science, psychology, philosophy and the Tibetan Buddhist tradition it challenges conventional ideas in every chapter, about life, death and the nature of mind. It is also a story about modern people that will keep you in suspense until the very last page, as you immerse yourself in the emotive experiences of not just one but seven main characters, their stories gradually revealing connections between them all. This book will not appeal to all. It will take a special type of willingness to fully appreciate its riches. Are you prepared to open yourself to new possibilities, with a promise that by the end of your journey, as you become closer to each character, you will become immersed in a reality that could change the direction of your life for all time?

Penny Morris is confused. At twenty-six she was beginning to feel like she was in charge of her life. After building up her own business for two years, advising consumers how to become more environmentally-friendly, organic, recycled and energy-efficient from her market stall in Truro, finally finding a niche in life after years of going nowhere, she has to go and do something stupid like that.Penny is just one of seven central characters whose lives become woven together by a thread of relationships from a dim and distant past; by the events of present circumstances and by an encounter with future possibilities. Gradually the reader is drawn into a deeply profound investigation into reality and the meaning of existence itself. Just who is the narrator anyway; and who exactly is he narrating these stories to?
