David Orsini's compelling novel THE ENCHANTMENTS asks questions that have intrigued many thoughtful readers. What causes you to lose contact with your soul? How do you find the soul that you have lost? What journeys do you have to traverse before you can reclaim a lost soul? What kinds of experiences can help you to reclaim your lost soul? Although THE ENCHANTMENTS asks these Spirit-oriented questions, its episodes belong very much to this world. Three young men and two young women must find ways to make amends for their wrongdoing or face eternal disappearance. Two Spirits (Randall and Melanie) invoke enchantments that bring these troubled individuals face to face with their betrayals and with their obsessions.
