For anyone who has ever felt the sting of loss or dared to dream of a love that could last beyond a lifetime, The Reincarnation of Marie is a journey through time that is sure to resonate. Facing enlistment in the Algerian War in 1950s Paris, French Army officer Yann Roussel had a heart heavy for the future. Seeking solace, he found The Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff, the diary of a late French-Russian artist who'd lived in Paris in the late 1800s. The first woman's diary to ever be posthumously published (to bestselling success), its sensual details of a bohemian life cut short fascinated Roussel. But soon, fascination gave way to near madness when he found himself in love with the spirit of a dead woman. The Reincarnation of Marie, an epistolary, historical romance by Jim Woodman, tells the story of how Roussel's obsession led to a doomed love affair with Marya, a haunted young art student with uncanny similarities to Bashkirtseff. Convinced he'd discovered Bashkirtseff's spirit reincarnated, Roussel found the impossible love he'd been looking for-just on the eve of his leaving for war. Loosely based on a true story (and hints that author was the one fell in love with Marie), The Reincarnation of Marie is a rich narrative blurring historical reality with supernatural love. In the end, readers are left with one question: can love truly conquer all-even death?
