If The Spirit Moves You

<p><b>With an introduction by Andrew O''Hagan</b><br><i><br>When I think about her now, which is most of the time, it''s like rewinding a silent film in my head: I see the crucial scenes in our lives together. But what I can''t hear is her voice in my head, and that silence is driving me crazy.</i><br><br>After her sister Ruth''s death from breast cancer in September 1997, Justine Picardie was desperate to speak to her again, to hear her voice, to find something - anything - that might fill the space she had left behind. Over the course of the next year, Justine''s search for Ruth lead her into the underworld of spiritualism, through a series of encounters with mediums and psychics who believe that we can communicate with those we have lost.<br><i>If the Spirit Moves You</i> is Justine''s remarkable story about her search for the afterlife in an age of reason, scepticism and science. Powerfully moving, both heart-breaking and funny, it is an extraordinary classic about the exhausting journey of grief and the enduring power of love.</p>
