"Melanie leads a very ordinary life - until the day she is highjacked in genetic memory and stoned to death by a fanatic. In panic, she returns to the reality of her own body in modern NZ but the fascination of experiencing lost lives has gripped her. Melanie embarks on a quest to touch within her the ancestral traces which are part of every person's genetic inheritance. Despite her husband's scepticism, she progresses through violent death and her mother's early sex life to intimately experience a wealth of other lives. Gripped by fascination, Melanie's quest into the past moves inexorably to its only possible conclusion..."

Moderately entertaining but a bit of a let down. A ramble through various interconnected lives.
