![]() A real classic though and therefore highly recommended!īack in the late 70's I guess, maybe the early 80's, I read this book and I loved it. Really worth it but at parts a bit tedious. The novel is about prejudices, the fascination of India, the possibility of reincarnation and psychological topics with a shot of horror. It's rather a philosophical and psychological novel: is reincarnation possible and what about Jung's archetypes? What about religion (great chapter on the crowning of the snowman!)? In my opinion the main character was Janice and to what conclusion she finally stated in court. The characters are absolutely first class. When Mr Hoover (Audrey Rose's father) kidnaps Ivy we enter a lengthy trial episode (nearly half the book) where the lawyers make their points. We see some eerie scenes with Ivy haunted by never ending nightmares (other girls dreams). Is the soul of Audrey Rose (died in a terrible car accident together with her mother) really reincarnated in Ivy Templeton? Audrey's father tracked Ivy down and follows the Templeton family until it comes to a confrontation. Iconic classic from the 70s (1975 to be precise) also made into a movie. ![]()
