About this listen

Lucina of Greece was orphaned at a young age and brought up by foster parents. Now aged 13, she is sent to be educated by her philosopher guardian in the place he calls Elysium. There, she finds herself the only female in a masculine world: While she proves herself an intellectual equal, she cannot accept the rigidity of the scientific skepticism that disallows her intuition, psychic talents, and capacity for love.

Lucina flees to Rome to become a priestess and the founder of a mystic cult in that yet young and primitive city. She finds love in the arms of a Roman senator, but her philosophical upbringing comes back to haunt her and sets her on a path to return, in a way, to Elysium....

So many wise and deep lessons one would think author must have read Jung. She may have. There is a thorough analysis of self and Self in this hero’s journey here; with a twist that will have your mind unraveling a few knots…

Straight with a twist

If I had past lives to relate, I wouldve skipped this one.

Lucina is a totally unsympathetic heroine. I kept waiting for the meaningful revelations other characters in the Far Memory books gain, but no. Lucina is just selfish from start to end.

Disappointing and without merit
