N2  - From a small town outside Edinburgh comes the news that a young boy has been recounting vivid recollections of a past life: a perfect description of an island off the coast of Scotland which he couldn't possibly know, and a house there, where he claims to have spent his former life. When the boy's mother asks Isabel Dalhousie to investigate his claims, she feels she must help them learn the truth, and she and her husband Jamie set off for the island.
