Only Something in me Understands by Steve Olley


#gypsyshadow #checkeditout #romance #novella

When journalist, John Brooks, hears of a young woman haunted by visions of an earlier life lived in Egypt, who has an uncanny understanding of hieroglyphics, he must meet her. And so begins a lifelong friendship that would take each of them to the brink, balancing at the edge of reason, in this heart-wrenching tale of enduring love. Based on the true life story of Dorothy Eady, who believed herself to be the reincarnation of an Egyptian priestess, who took her own life 3,000 years before. The first woman to carve out a career as an archaeologist in Egypt, she made predictions that led to discoveries that would astound her colleagues. But only her closest friends knew her deepest secret. The conviction that fuelled this remarkable and romantic life, that drove her passion for Egypt, and the love affair that was so strong, even death could not end it.

Steve weaves a great tale, mixing different aspects of human emotion in a beautiful Egyptian landscape. Filled with fascinating images of historical and modern Egypt, you don't need to understand history to find yourself relating with the characters, and caring for their plights.
