Bertoldi delivers a heartfelt exploration of afterlife communication, emphasizing the continuity of love rather than mere spectacle. Her wit and warmth make the subject accessible, inviting readers into intimate encounters with deceased loved ones. However, this memoir may not suit skeptics seeking empirical proof or those who prefer dry, academic treatises on spiritualism. It is also less appropriate for readers looking for traditional spooky horror stories, as it focuses on comfort and guidance. Ultimately, it serves best for open-minded individuals ready to embrace the practical wisdom spirits impart through a personal narrative.

I've read excerpts online before, but having the full text is different. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. Recommended with reservations.

Worth every penny

I collect works on this subject and this is a worthy addition. It rewards patience more than any book I've bought this year. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes.

Almost perfect

First purchase from this shop. The language takes some getting used to, but it becomes part of the charm. The material is presented clearly and the structure makes it easy to revisit key passages. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.

📜 Historical context

Rooted in the 19th-century Spiritualist movement, this work updates the tradition of mediumship for the modern era. Unlike Victorian séances focused on spectacle, Bertoldi’s approach reflects the contemporary New Thought and Mind-Body-Spirit movement, emphasizing personal empowerment, psychological healing, and the demystification of the afterlife through everyday, relatable interactions rather than grandiose supernatural displays.
