Review: To Swim Beneath the Earth by Ginger Bensman

I don’t think I’ve read any other books about reincarnation and past life experiences before, but I loooooove this topic and there was a period when I watched all the documentaries I could find on it, together with some films about ancient empires. The Maya, Inca, and Aztecs were the most fascinating part of it. I believe, if anything paranormal did exist in this world, it was there. And maybe, it still is there, buried under the layers of history. The book follows the story of Megan, a young woman trying to overcome her grief and loss while also dealing with mysterious dreams and visions that’s been haunting her her whole life. While her mother sees it as a psychological problem, her father has always supported her idea that it’s more than that. So, when he dies and leaves her a surprising gift, she has no choice but to go on an adventure, seeking out the truth behind everything that’s been happening to her. With the help of a team of archeologists, she is going to the most exotic places in South America to find out more about her past life experience. This beautiful story raises sometimes overwhelming questions and ideas that you’ll be thinking about for days, and the precision with which it’s written makes it easy to feel yourself in the very center of the shamanic rituals among the remnants of the Inca Empire. It reaches out through centuries to connect two families and touch a very delicate, evasive subject – is there such a thing as former life? Could Megan’s dreams mean something important and visit her for a reason? I think this book will be interesting to everyone who’s into action and adventure. But if you're fascinated by ancient civilizations, you definitely will enjoy it even more. I’d like to thank the author for giving me a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
