But the arrival of Katβs newly adopted niece, Mai, forces her home to northern England, where she runs headfirst into all the memories of Gabe sheβs tried to leave behindβand discovers that Mai stirs up an unnerving feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu. Before long, Katβs logical, scientific beliefs about life after death are in battle with what she feels to be trueβthat reincarnation is real and Gabe has come back to her through Mai. The question now, is why?
Taking on the topics of love, loss, and how we deal with grief, A Strange Companion is a twisted love triangle among the living, the dead, and the reincarnated.
