This is a fascinating book and leaves you wondering whether others do have special powers. Can they really speak to and see the dead? Is the after life as similar to this life as the book makes out? I was particularly interested in this book as the author attended my ballet school in Canberra when she was a young girl. I have spoken to her since reading the book and she seemed rather upset that I couldn't believe entirely in what she had written. So again I ask, do people have these special powers? If not, how can very intelligent people claim that they do experience this connection with the dead? I am left in doubt!
