It’s a beautiful spring day in 1970. On a whim, Radio City Music Hall singer-dancer Daniel Brennan visits the infamous medium, Ethel Johnson Meyers. Not really 'into psychics,' he nonetheless drops his teacup when she, in a mystical trance, tells him:'You lived in the Pyrenees with your husband, Roberto-a marriage of twin souls...it was the most important lifetime you have ever lived, the most fulfilling love you have ever known.'And here begin the flashbacks, the dreamlike visions of a long-ago time, when two people in love in Avignon faced unspeakable tragedy.Dennis Britten tells the story of Daniel/Sylvie with profound clarity, as if these dreams and visions and present life connections to the dark past of Guernica had happened to him, as if he himself had experienced the love and witnessed the cruelty. The time-travel in the narrative is seamless, the tears so real you think you’re there, too.It’s a beautiful story with a very curious ending.
