At first, I had doubts about choosing this book due to the title. It seemed to cover supernatural issues but the trajectory of the author Lucia Mann caught my attention since she is a laureate social activist who has focused on advocating the abolition of human trafficking and slavery in the world. Endless Incarnation Sorrows tells several stories that happen at different times and coincide in that girls of Jewish origin live wrench breaking experiences. They are cruelly mistreated suffer sexual abuse, bondage, hunger, imprisonment, and other atrocities. These girls are doomed to undergo punishment for their parents' sins and this curse seems to be repeated as if it were the same soul reincarnating over the years.

The narrative begins in the North African desert in ancient Judea when the Hebrews were taken as slaves by the Egyptians. Rebekah bas Sora committed the first sin by laying down with her brother, which brought a curse as chastisement sent by God for that sin. According to old Jewish laws, this curse would be transmitted to Rebekah's descendants and would endure in future reincarnations until sin was forgiven.

Lala, Leandra, Laurencia, Lyveva, Molly, Luciaj, Maria, Shiya and Madeline Clark are the protagonists of these stories. All of them are related in some way and are the main souls who suffer the curse of their parents' sins for having sex with a relative. "Any other than kin..." say the ancient laws of the Hebrews. These women have common physical characteristics: fair hair, dark skin, deformed legs, and a dark oval birthmark on a cheek. They live a horrible life by enduring many misfortunes.

The stories unfold at different countries and times such as ancient Judea, Egypt during the reign of Cleopatra, medieval Spain, England in the Kingdom of Northumbria, Ireland from 1847 to 1939, Poland with Nazi Germany, The British Commonwealth of South Africa, British Columbia in Canada, and even to nowadays.

Lucia Mann narrates heartbreaking and historical stories crudely and poignantly. This awakens your mind about the wickedness that has been in humanity throughout its history. I was surprised by the many evil acts of people from different eras. The author carried out extensive research and then associated these facts and women to link up with her own existence. In addition, she includes some revelations while she was convalescent about to die.

I think that the purpose of this book is not only to reinforce the belief of reincarnation professed by Lucia Mann but also to highlight and denounce the terrible acts of evil that have occurred in the history of mankind, especially towards the Jews. Although the book is centered on reincarnation, she does not attempt to impose or sell it.

I do not believe in reincarnation nor do I agree with the analysis and associations made by the author to affirm that reincarnation has been occurring to accomplish the punishment sent by God. However, I admire the author’s work and effort in search of her roots. In the same way, I appreciate the interesting stories she offers at our disposal. Mann's intention is not to convert anyone to her manner of thinking.

I do not share the idea that one can live as the same soul in different bodies and at distinct times. Despite that, I enjoyed the book and there were very few things that I disliked.

It is important to keep in mind that the book focuses on Judaism and it is critical of the Catholic Church. Regarding this issue, I believe that historically crimes have been committed in the name of some religion but the fault lies with the perpetrators and not with the churches or religions.

The book is well edited, although I found some typos that did not alter the reading and can be easily corrected. That said, I rate Endless Incarnation Sorrows 3 out of 4 stars. I recommend it to those who like historical facts and moving stories. However, I believe that it is not suitable for young audiences or sensitive people, as there are acts of violence, child sexual abuse, slavery, and other strong themes. The book has a religious approach and I think it is more suitable for those who profess Judaism. Some Catholics or devotees of other religions might feel uncomfortable.

This seems like a very emotional and graphic book especially because it contains so much violence and abuse. The author's points about reincarnation sound very interesting. I'd love to read this book to hear her perspective. Good review, thanks.

This books seems very interesting and the kind of book my husband would pick up. I find it a plus that the author doesn't try to push her beliefs too much, as that can break the experience easily.

Thank you very much for your review.
