Rendition In Pursuance Of Books Soul to Take
Vicky is desperate to make her mark, in a world which just doesn't seem to notice her.Silence and smiles hide the pain that Nell is keeping to herself.
Sarah's dreams of having a family seem hopeless.
And then there's Shannon, who's in trouble at school yet again.
But what these four women don't know is that someone - or something - is watching them.
A much-recycled soul, suspended between one life and the next, realises that Vicky, Nell, Sarah and Shannon are embarking on their journey towards Motherhood. As memories from past incarnations return to this Soul, it becomes clear that one of these women will be chosen to guide it once more.
Soul to take explores what it is to become a parent and considers the possibility that actually, our children are the ones who carefully select us.

Interesting story but I feel it didn't properly end or I would have rated it more.4 sets of possible parents, one child deciding where they want to go, and telling about where their previous lives has already taken them.There has to be more to life than we're born, we live the best we can and then that's it - we're worm food - right?I've always thought there is more to life, but I guess I have never selected a religion or a firm belief in anything. The whole idea of reincarnation appeals to me, but I would not say I have spent hours considering it.This book challenged me to think about my world. Some of the silly things I spend time and money on. It got me wondering about life - you don't often get that from a
Loved it loved it loved it!I'm seriously tired today because I had to finish this book last night and stayed up way too late!I just love the concept - ingenious!I don't normally write reviews but feel compelled to shout about this one from the rooftops :)I'm about to become a Mum so it may well be the hormones.. This book had me crying, smiling, laughing - generally gripped throughout. I read a fair amount and have a long list of books I have thoroughly enjoyed. None have got me thinking and
A group I'm in recommended this book to me, telling me it is a 'hidden gem'.I guess I thought I'd give it a go as it was my first goodreads recommendation.I doubt I'll get a better recommendation if I'm on here for the rest of my life! It's not just the fact that it's a good book. More the fact that I'd never have found it if someone hadn't recommended it to me.The Author (a new Indie well worth watching) writes in a really interesting style. It's not a long book, but it doesn't waste any time
I really loved this book.It's got a really nice, warm feel to it. The characters feel real and the concept is a really comforting one.
If you want to cry, shiver and get goosebumps I recommend this book. The best character is the Soul and it's unique voice but all the characters are wonderful. A good book is one which you feel you live in, a great book is one you don't want to let go of. This is a great book.
I have often read in my flakey New Age readings that Souls between lives sort of "hang out" with the prospective new parents immediately before and during a pregnancy. Well here is an excellent short novel that speculates on the Soul observing and possibly choosing parents. Bateman has wonderful character development and she has provided an interesting contrast between the lives of the prospective couples and the Soul's last few incarnations. Bateman wisely avoids getting caught up in any kind
