Excerpt

"Let's suppose for a moment that you and Gertrude are the same person, reincarnated. Perhaps there is something you are supposed to do, this time, that you didn't do before, or perhaps you did something before that would help you this time. Or, even if you don't believe in reincarnation, maybe God or fate arranged for you to find the letters for a similar reason - that there is a lesson in them."
