About this ebook
The memories of a wanderer in the stormy and licentious era of Renaissance Italy…
Carola, the illegitimate child of an Italian nobleman, spent her childhood in a castle near Perugia until the day Fortune cast her into the hostile outer-world of 16th-century Italy. As a member of a group of strolling players, Carola was to gather both harsh experience and gentle wisdom from the strong man Bernard, from the harlot Lucia, from the hunchback-jester Petruchio, and from Sofia, who would be burned as a witch. Finally, when she finds her long-sought peace in love, the freedom she has won carries her triumphantly beyond the barrier of death and from her Life As Carola.
“Here is an unusual book that shines with fire...that is packed with incident, that is vivid, dramatic and skillfully put together—and yet one that this reviewer finds harder to value correctly than any that has ever fallen into his hands.”—New York Times
“During the last twenty years, seven books of mine have been published as historical novels which to me are biographies of previous lives I have known.”—Joan Grant, from her autobiography Far Memory
Joan Grant
Joan Marshall Grant Kelsey (London, 12 April 1907 - 3 February 1989) was an English author of historical novels and a reincarnationist. Born in London, England, Grant’s father was of dual US-British nationality and a professional tennis player who won his place in the semi- finals of the World Championship for each country and thus needed to play against himself. Spent her early years on Hayling Island in Hampshire. Grant became aware as a child of her uncanny gift of “far memory”—the ability to recall in detail previous incarnations, both male and female, in other centuries and other lands. Her books, which have been highly praised for the richness of color and incident and for their beauty of language and thought, are in fact the author’s memories of her earlier lives. Her first book, Winged Pharaoh (1937), sourced from Grant’s “Far Memory” extrasensory abilities, catapulted Joan Grant to fame upon publication. Her books have been translated and published in many languages. Grant died in 1989 at the age of 81.
