At the moment of death, our spirit, soul, life force - call it what you will - leaves the body in which it has dwelt for such a few short years in the scheme of earth’s timeline. Decades, centuries or millennia may pass, but a part of what we once were may come again … and it remembers. These are the concluding chapters of Clive’s story, set in the 1960s in Bristol. It is a true story of love and a young man’s trials, struggles, and achievements. The Hand of Fate is above all a story of unforgettable love that surmounts time itself; a love that will come again. This biography is a continuation of the author’s first book, The Second Bench, about a young man who falls in love with an older woman who comes from another culture. Charles Rose is retired and a lifelong resident of Bristol, England. This is a story that touched my heart. Publisher’s website: http: //sbprabooks.com/CharlesRose
