Catherine's descriptions of her past lives are not particularly compelling or insightful. The previously nonspiritual, scientific Weiss, awed by Catherine's and the masters' revelations, has written this book to share his new-found knowledge about ``immortality and the true meaning of life.'' Whether or not one believes in reincarnation and channeling, Weiss's book will disappoint. When Weiss turned to hypnosis to help Catherine remember repressed childhood traumas, what emerged were the patient's descriptions of a dozen or so of her hitherto unknown 86 past lives, as well as philosophical messages channeled from ``Master Spirits.'' Catherine's anxieties and phobias soon disappeared, says Weiss, and she was able to end therapy. In 1980, Weiss, head of the psychiatry department at Mount Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, began treating Catherine, a 27-year-old woman plagued by anxiety, depression and phobias.

Pedro e Dª Inês de Castro, sob o título Linda Ignês. Um dos volumes dessa colecção é precisamente dedicado aos amores de D. Tudo isto, quase sempre, em cenários palacianos ou conventuais, propícios à intriga, à inveja e à traição. Essa colecção inclui Estórias da História de Portugal, baseadas em relatos de cronistas da época, como Fernão Lopes e outros ao seu nível, romantizadas pelo seu autor, Francisco José Rocha Martins (1879-1952) e passadas entre reis e rainhas adúlteros, fidalgos e cortesãs, nobres e plebeus. Essa interessante colecção é-nos apresentada por Rita Ferro, através de um volume introdutório (Pecados da Paixão) também nela incluído. A editora Inapa lançou recentemente uma colecção de 12 livros, intitulada Os Grandes Amores de Portugal. The real problem with Angel is that her dream is to save enough money to buy a small cottage and live on her own, away from men. Life there was better for Angel than it had been before, but even then, the madam was increasingly controlling, kept her money under lock and key, and kept a “bodyguard” to make sure none of the girls ran away.Īnd yet, throughout Rivers’ book, we’re to think of Angel as bitter and angry. Once there, she was abused on the street and lived in squalor until a madam picked her up, along with some other girls, and started a brothel. When Angel was sixteen she successfully ran away, and boarded a boat to California. After Angel grew a few years older, she was trafficked to a wealthy clientele, still owned by the same abuser. When Angel’s mother died when she was eight, a kindly drunk arranged what he thought was an adoption for her into a wealthy family, but was actually a life of child sex slavery of the worst, most abusive kind you can imagine. After that the man cast her mother aside, and they lived in a hovel by the docks where her mother found a way to sustain them by working as a prostitute. She had a troubled life before then, too-her mother was a married man’s mistress, with her own little cottage, until Angel was three. She was eight when a wealthy businessman bought her as his sex slave. The book treats Angel as the one with the problem. Then there’s the elusive Uncle Craven, Mary’s only remaining family-whom she’s not permitted to see. First, there’s Martha Sowerby: the too-cheery maid with bothersome questions who seems out of place in the dreary manor. Ten-year-old Mary Lennox arrives at a secluded estate on the Yorkshire moors with a scowl and a chip on her shoulder.

But he persisted, and a year later we went to the same party with a No 1 bestseller on our hands. I replied, honestly, no, there were several fine books on punctuation already, and I wasn’t an expert. “Do you think there’s a book to be written about punctuation?” he said. By Christmas 2002 I felt strong enough to attend a social event in London – and there I bumped into Andrew Franklin of Profile Books, who had by chance heard Cutting a Dash, a radio series I’d presented. But in 2000 my sister died and I resigned my job because whenever I ventured out of doors I burst into tears. For all of the 1990s I’d been under contract at the Times, first as the TV reviewer and latterly as a high-profile sportswriter. I was 47, living in Brighton, working freelance. Surely no sane publisher could ever say to me: “Lynne, I have to tell you that your book on punctuation has failed.” So I decided that the next book must have intrinsically modest aims. My last novel had sold poorly (and I’d received a large advance), which made me poison as far as another publishing contract was concerned. Who knew there were millions waiting for a funny book on punctuation? Certainly I didn’t. L ooking back to 2003, everyone involved in the publishing of Eats, Shoots & Leaveshas reason to be proud, but at the time we were as surprised as anyone.
