Part family memoir, part karmic whodunnit, part spiritual investigation, it follows a trail of clues: a stilted photograph, an unknown naval officer, a mother at an upstairs window, an unidentified portrait, a mysterious M.B.E. award…\u003cbr\u003eGuided by contemplative practice and her work with spiritual researcher Inessa Burdich, the author traces her ancestors beyond death. Among them we meet a Gallipoli medic held fast in grief; a career girl bound by love; a lothario ensnared by desire; and a woman killed in the Blitz—yet becoming, unwittingly, a redemptive gateway for other trapped souls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003eRich with compassion, insight, and wry wit, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold a-text-italic\"\u003eSaving Ernest\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-bold\"\u003e is no ordinary genealogy.
