Historical
Eusapia Palladino's wretched childhood and turbulent life in a small Italian village in the middle of the 19th century are brought to life in this novel telling how she managed to become one of the most successful mediums in Europe. In a period when spiritualism filled a void created by the decline in religious beliefs resulting from the emergence of modern science, she successfully taps into the the collective unconscious. Her reputation soars and brings her to cities all over Europe and even to America. She is sought out by famous people and investigated by renowned scientists like the Nobel Prize winners Charles Richet and Marie and Pierre Curie. R.K. Marfurt's novel explores Eusapia's conflicted yet courageous journey through spiritualism and the dark seance rooms and the unexpected.
