A life remembered across centuries

An Andalusian winemaker’s discovery of a cave opens onto a series of past-life memories set against upheavals across centuries. The episodes range from the persecution of the Cathars and plague years to Justinian’s Constantinople and a moon-worshiping monastic order in Andalusia. Linking these historical settings is the book’s central question of identity: San’s fragments lead him to understand himself as Boismont, a single person carried through different lives. The premise brings reincarnation together with historical fiction, using one character’s recurring memories to connect periods of religious conflict, epidemic, and spiritual practice.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in historical fiction spanning multiple periods and places.
  • Readers drawn to stories about reincarnation, memory, and identity.
  • Readers curious about religious and spiritual practices in historical settings.

Book overview

San, an Andalusian winemaker, is haunted by "fragments" after discovering a cave on his land. Through these fragments, we encounter his past lives in turbulent times across the centuries: the persecution of the Cathars, the plague years, Justinian's Constantinople (Islambol), and a monastic order in Andalusia that turned to worshiping the moon. He comes to realize that he has always been one and the same person, named Boismont-a truth carried within him through these "memories." "We are not people with a soul ... no, we are souls with a body at our disposal from time to time."
