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.
