Parallel Lives Diane Bithrey

Have we lived before? Another life in an earlier period of time?



1524. The new-born howled into the night.
"The infant is a girl, a healthy girl, my lady."
They named her Isabelle after her dead mother.


1951. The baby cried loudly, as if not in the least pleased to arrive.
"It's a girl," cried the midwife.
"I think I'll call her Sally, after my dead sister." said her mother.


2015. "Who are you? If only you could tell me." The man was softly spoken and persuasive.
The young woman looked into his eyes with a knowing smile. "You know who I am. I'm Sally, but you see me as Bella," she answered. "We two are now one - my name is Sabella."


This is her story....


In the French Alps a frozen lake hides a grim secret. A burial chamber with a coffin carved out of ice. Inside it, the body of a young woman as perfect as the day she was laid to rest, nearly five hundred years before.


In the summer of 2015, following an earthquake, Richard Pitt-Thomas one of four men climbing in the Alps discovers the body. He is excited by the find. Richard can see no ethical reason why the coffin containing the frozen corpse should not be transported back to London and a secret laboratory where scientists are engaged in cryogenic research. They bring his ice-maiden slowly back to life. Richard is being drawn into the unknown, unaware of what his actions are about to unleash...


Sally Marsh is a wealthy mature woman disillusioned and bored. She starts to experience episodes from the past in the form of realistic dreams, but these aren't dreams, they are reality.


In the past, she was Isabelle Montague, living in poorer circumstances as the daughter of a governess in Tudor England. Isabelle is in love and a glorious destiny beckons at the end of a journey fraught with intrigue and danger. But time is fast running out.


She slips back and forth in time, reliving her former life, having no idea how this all happens and is powerless to stop it....
