This is not a tale of the innumerable wars fought in and around the Mediterranean Sea through the ages. It is a tale of tragedy and comedy of the Maltese people themselves, mixed with historical facts, set in beautiful but dangerous surroundings of the islands of Malta and Gozo. Add an immovable wedge of faith, whisper of politics, hint of romance, a few portions of Maltese folklore, a hypnotherapist named Ernest and John who has a dreadful recurring dream. Hypnosis reveals John"s ten previous lifetimes beginning in 3500 BC. The tales John tells under hypnosis as pre-historic boys, slave, boat-builder, farmer, bastard son of a nobleman, spy for the Knights of St John, magician, gamekeeper and Restaurateur, give an insight into the evolvement of Maltese people from pre-historic hunter-gatherers to 21st Century well educated citizens. A rogue priest on his deathbed in Gozo uses the hypnotherapist to ease his conscience, telling him a tale spanning ninety years. The Caruana family and friends entertain him with their own living memories before Nature springs a most unexpected surprise on them all.
