Synopsis

The Monastery is a timely tale of untimely reincarnation; a story of men and women, love and history, of religion and, perhaps, fantasy. Time travel with a twist. Rebecca Kincaid, middle-aged, educated, wife, mother, is one morning finally too discouraged to face another day. While she sleeps, her soul, adrift on a sea of despair, lifts anchor and rides the tide of time onto the shores of another life. At once, Cecilia, young and beautiful heir to this wayward spirit, simply appears, dazed and confused in a medieval forest; incarnated before her time. Thus begins a bizarre summer for little-known East Indian psychiatrist and paranormal researcher, Gurinder Chopak, and his British colleague, Nigel Haversham. While Chopak endeavors to unravel the baffling labyrinth of events separated by nearly six centuries, he and Haversham watch, helplessly, the incredible mingling of two disparate lives in a kaleidoscopic swirl of events, destined to leave one woman with an awesome choice. Will she pursue to its end a meaningless existence or will she step boldly into the exhilarating passion and dangerous adventure of the next?
