2.0 out of 5 stars This book could use a few more edits, April 28, 2000
By A Customer
If you are looking for a book dealing with the history or beliefs of the Cathars, look elsewhere. I have the horrible feeling that this book would have been wonderful if only the author had simply told the story instead of explaining every thought along the way and using a sort of daily entry or diary format. The story is fascinating, about a woman who has a rememberance of being a Cathar during the 1300's. Unfortunately, the writing style is so poor that the story is all but lost and the reader spends much time just trying to remember who all the characters are. Keeping track of the story line is all but impossible. Too bad. It could have been a good book but I wouldn't recommend it as it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic, September 17, 2002
This is a clear and lucid description of events written by a doctor and psychiatrist involving a subject that has so often been weighed down by generalizations and cliches. The fascinating details develop into a lively, convincing and extremely well researched work. Dr. Guirdham is one of the few authors to have done so thorough a job of detective work as to have passed a threshold of proof for the truth of reincarnation. His research has even taken him into the archives of the inquisition for corroboration. This book is certainly a classic.

4.0 out of 5 stars solid proof, January 24, 2003
I found this book a bit difficult to read, but very well worth the trouble. That's because, assuming the author did his homework honestly and accurately (as I do), this is a record of spontaneous (not hypnosis-induced) memories, recorded by a credentialed psychiatrist, for which there are corresponding detailed historical records (records she was very unlikely to have known of, especially when she wrote down her memories as a school-girl). Not one historically-recorded person only, but several people mentioned in the patient's recollections are verified as having actually existed, along with places. This has been done before, but rarely so completely.

The book also gives a very good sense of what the Cathars were like, and it brings up an interesting question--which group was the more "heretical"--the Cathars, or the politically dominant Catholic Church which persecuted them?

And its companion question: does might always make right?
