To read this book we first need to open our heart and empty our cup of expectations and concepts. I started to read it in a fast velocity, since the history hit me so deeply. When I reached the half I slowed down to savour each chapter. But again I could not stop to read when the history took other direction until the end. This book is about a true love and pure intentions of free souls. There is a unexpected reflection in the last page which made me think about my own life. There was not punishment for the "wrong choice" as predicted by orthodox religions. Life treats us kind always, when we have a pure intention and love. The way Gabrijela writes, she lead us to this far land (which for coincidence is my homeland)and make us experience the way those people used to feel and see the life in their level of evolution which some times made me feel even small. I think this is the highest point besides the main subject. She captured just the way they were, what make us believe that this is really a true history, a beautiful history. A must read book! Thank you Gabrijela.

I read this book at one sitting and never felt tired. I have no way of knowing whether these are real past-life memories or not, but I felt an intensified sense of experiencing the characters' world through their own eyes, a kind of complete immersion. It is a world where psychic things are accepted as real and normal, the way we accept technology. There's also an intense idealism in this book. The theme running through it is being ahead of one's time; the main character struggles throughout with the superstition and insensitivity of her culture. I remember reading about an actual person like this in my cultural anthropology class--perhaps it was in one of Margaret Mead's studies--so it isn't as far-fetched as you might think. This story may be too idealistic for some, but it has an immediacy and an intensity that kept me reading.
