About
Having been born in Scotland, my father gave me my name after Bonnie Prince Charlie, so since I was a very small kid I have always felt a very strong connection to him and to his life.
In this historical fiction, you will find the story of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the Jacobite Rising of 1745, some reflections upon the concept of reincarnation, as well as insights into Christian Spiritism and the religious lines of African origin known as Candomblé and Umbanda.
Do hope you will enjoy the story... :o)
