This is not just a love story; it's a journey through the human soul, a celebration of art's immortality, and a tribute to those loves that, though lost to time, continue to shape our very beings. It's a story that resonates with anyone who has ever loved deeply, felt the sting of loss, and dared to dream of love that lasts beyond a lifetime.
Facing enlistment in the Algerian War in 1950s Paris, French Army officer Yann Roussel had a heavy heart for his future. Seeking solace, he found The Journal of Marie Bashkirtseff, the diary of a late French-Russian artist who’d lived in the late 1800s.
Marie's diary, posthumously published (to bestselling success), offers sensual details of a bohemian life cut short, fascinated Yann. Soon, fascination gave way to near madness when he found himself in love with the spirit of a dead woman.
The Reincarnation of Marie, a historical romance by Jim Woodman, tells the story of how Yann’s obsession led to a love affair with Marya, a haunted young art student with uncanny similarities to Marie. Convinced he'd discovered Marie’s spirit reincarnated, Yann found the impossible love he'd been looking for—just before leaving for war.
Based on the authors experience, The Reincarnation of Marie is a rich narrative blurring historical reality with supernatural love. In the end, we’re left with one question: can love truly conquer all—even death?
