Songs From The Secret Place - a book that speaks to the heart and soul, but grounded in reality and very human (it contains some strong language and scenes of a sexual nature)


The book I want to tell you about is called 'Songs From The Secret Place - The Meeting of the Spirits' by Deborah Clarke. It is a story that speaks to the heart and soul, like no other I have ever read. It has a shape, a beautiful pattern and three dimensions to it, other books feel flat to me now in comparison, I love it. I want everyone to read it, love it or not, no matter, I believe it changes your perception of life forever. It is a metaphor for the human experience.

What others say about it:

"This is a wonderful book that repays reading and re-reading. On the surface it is about the Magnus family, three generations of whom live together in a large country house somewhere in the Cotswolds. They are like a pride of lions, led by Chris Eriksson, the grandfather of the pride, and the book follows the working out of both the family relationships and those close to the family.

At first they seem to be just a bunch of people loving, squabbling and fighting with one another, but as the book unfolds it is plain that the family and friends have been together in a previous incarnation and they have come together to sort out the karmic consequences of their previous encounters.

The book skilfully develops all of the fifteen main characters, whilst revealing the interrelationships between them, both in this and the past life, keeping you hooked into the story in order to discover their eventual fates. However, the book works on a number of different levels; as a story that engages our emotions by pointing us towards our own dreams and needs, which not only get exercised by reading the book but are answered by the characters in the book; it also works at a deep unconscious level to produce unexpected reactions to the storyline.

If you want to read a book of fiction that feels like fact, which engages your emotions but somehow releases you from them, that refers to the mythic world but reveals the Deep to you, then buy this book and take from it what it is offering."
