Completed Mathew Richarsons What dreams may come. A wonderful journey of a man who died in a car crash and finds himself waking up in somewhere called Summerland, finds one days that, unable to live without her husband, his wife has committed suicide. She finds herself in somewhere lower realm of some kind of an existence, something which the author describes as her Private hell. The man would dive deep into the hellish infernal fire to save his wife -- his soul-mate and travels through various experiences. As the wife committed suicide -- something which she was not supposed to -- she has to be born again, to pay off her karmic debt: the same doctrine which outposts the choice of an individual to self-terminate oneself. But this time, her earth-life this time would be short -- a mere thirty years of earth, to write-off what all was due in her bag. As she took a huge number of sleeping pills, she would be born as an insomniac -- a reflection of her past-lifes ill-karma. The husband also decides to be born again as a doctor, to aide his soul-mate out. And the cycle restarts. Wonderful narration. A heart-touching way of explaining the inexplicable. An beautiful narrative of karma-birth-self realization. However....personally speaking, I felt very bad of one thing. The author mentioned something very allergic at the end of the novel, which is very disappointing and negative. The author describes the wife, in order to pay-off her karmic debt, chose to be re-born as a mentally-retarded patient somewhere in Indian subcontinent or Sri-Lanka, lands which do not have good culture of medicines and developments! In a way -- to be reborn in India or Sri-Lanka is same as suffering the burns of hell! Well that was quite shocking, in fact unacceptable from such a well-off thinker/writer like Richar Matheson who housed such a wonderful story of Karma and Dharma. Its a pity, some part of the globe still do not treat India and a plethora of other countries to be a part of the same brotherhood, as which the rest of the globe is made of.
