Come on, you know how stories like this are going to end.
There were certain traits that stayed with the characters in all of their lifetimes, but their circumstances in those different lifetimes were very different.
The attraction between them was very real and the romance actually didn’t feel forced. All of the different reincarnations are three dimensional and sympathetic. One thing that actually made me enjoy Reincarnation was the characterization. But again, this is not meant to be historically accurate. I have never, ever seen those names translated in such a way (even in the Wikipedia articles I’ve linked to). And for reasons unknown, Suzanne Weyn calls Abu Simbel ‘Abu Simpel’ and Sekhmet ‘Sempkhet’. And the idea that Taharaq saw the pyramids when he was coming up from Nubia to Weset is enough to make an Egyptologist cry. For example, when they are in ancient Egypt-she a singer named Tetisherti and he a Nubian slave called Taharaq-it made me snort aloud when he called Thebes ‘Luxor’, claiming that was its ancient Egyptian name. Suzanne Weyn’s novel is by no means historically accurate. And as long as you keep that in mind, you’ll enjoy Reincarnation. This is a book you read for guilty pleasure. This is not a book you read for historical accuracy, fast pacing or an unpredictable plot. Because some people are meant for each other-no matter how long it takes. Circumstances will fight them…but a greater force will reunite them.
From Paris in the 1930s to the present day. From Massachusetts witch trials to Civil War battlefields. That feeling that they’ve been together before. Whenever their paths cross, there is that strong attraction. Their time together is short, but the reverberations are lasting. A young man and a young woman fight over a precious jewel.
