About This Book

A narrator receives a brief, unexpected letter from an old companion and is drawn back into memories of school and university intimacy and collaborative experiments in recalling past lives. The account follows their reunion and journeys from childhood scenes and academic Edinburgh to a remote chalet in the Jura, where renewed inquiry into reincarnation, memory continuity, and metaphysical perception intensifies. Encounters blend ordinary detail with uncanny experience as the companions confront ethical, psychological, and spiritual consequences of recalling previous existences, producing strain on loyalties and selfhood. The narrative culminates in an attempt at restitution that tests the limits of memory, responsibility, and the desire to set past wrongs right.
