Read in January, 1990
recommended to Delanie by: Mom
It starts off now (now being a relative term, I think it's set in the 70's because that's when it was written) and then gets into a past life with an entire civilization that was destroyed. Reincarnation, fate, karma, set in Africa--what's not to love?! I keep hoping that someday they will make it into a movie. A movie that won't suck.

Read in July, 1976
This is an engaging archaeological romance; a really exciting page-turning thrilller. It's split into two halves between the ancient and contemporary worlds that complement each other perfectly. Good stuff!

Read this for book club and enjoyed it. I have always been interested in archeology and its lore. This had it all. If you enjoy that, you'll like this.

Read this because of Wes and I really liked it. The female character bothered me a bit though. But then, I always get frustrated with females.
