For fans of imaginary worlds and C.S. Lewis, House of Souls addresses the desperate human desire for meaning. Traversing time and passing through history, the narrative explores the eternal struggle to reconcile human suffering with divine goodness. For some, this is a story with the potential to leave an indelible mark on the soul. Aidan Manning is a London barrister with a flourishing career. Evelyn Machin is an ER surgeon from Los Angeles who saves lives every day. They live over five thousand miles apart, but one night in 2005, they wake up in the same place. In the Espacio. Same souls. Different bodies. In a "space" designed for soul-making. Led by three unusual guides, they embark on a journey through some of the deepest questions of life. What is freedom? Justice? Beauty? Why so much pain? From Rwanda to the Deep South, from a wreck in the Pacific to the Crucifixion, they travel in search of answers. Yet their quest for meaning soon gives way to their greatest longing, their greatest need. To love and be loved. Unfortunately, they have a problem. Back home, all they can recollect are a few vague images from their recurring dreams. No name. No address. Just a growing sense of being in love. It turns out falling in love with a person from your dreams can make you think you're losing your mind. And that's not good. Not good at all.
