Описание: In the aftermath of a violent incident and near-death experience, Sarah Lange is plagued by heavenly voices and dogged by a desire to return home. Frightened by her desire to terminate her existence on earth, she checks into a trauma center in Malibu, California, and meets Dr. David Sutton, an intellectual, scientist, reductionist, and someone who believes in nothing beyond his immediate experience. Davids world is as divorced from mystery and magic as Sarahs is alive with and animated by it. Their sessions open up a dialogue about the separation of worlds-one easily defined and explained and one unknowable and waiting on the other side of human experience. Even as his faith in his profession fades, David struggles to bring his disturbed patient back to the real world. In a desperate effort to define herself, Sarah escapes, and David must decide how far he is willing to go to save a patient, and ultimately, himself. Barbara Halls work has always been remarkable for showing the hidden worlds within the world around us. Charisma tells the story a woman trying come to terms with what appears to be a supernatural gift and the doctor who tries to help her while not believing a word of it. As she did in her brilliant television series Joan of Arcadia, Hall presents the otherworldly elements in such a matter of fact way that the reader cannot help but believe in them. The duel of wits between patient and doctor dares to be witty, intelligent and emotionally generous all at once. Its pitch perfect, dazzling fiction. -Phoef Sutton Barbara Halls writing is exquisite in this riveting glimpse into the world of spirituality and mental illness, near death experience and the real life search for authentic existence. With captivating characters, pitch perfect dialogue, and a seemingly innate understanding of the Divine, Charisma is an existential, theological and literary tour de force. -Rev.
