Customer Reviews

One of my most Favorite books!

I read a lot and have read many, many books on spirtualism and spiritual journeys. "Spirit" was one of the first of this kind that I read. I loved it then it remains in my top 10 books of this genre "Spirit" is passionate, humbling and awe-inspiring. The book is well-written, interesting and definitely not "preachy" or boring. It instills hope in the existence of the world beyond and faith that all of us have our own unique gifts to discover. Thumbs up on this one!

A wonderful story

Spirit is a wonderfully unusual story that is very well written. It is full of magic and love. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful story

I just read Spirit and fell in love with this story. Ms. Riccio's books are always such a pleasure to read and her characters are so well written that you feel as if they are people you know. Spirit takes place in the 1930's and 1940's, has a wonderful love story, and quite a bit of intrigue during the years of World War II. Brigit's psychic abilities begin in childhood and her loved ones aren't supportive of her gift. This makes much of her early life difficult until she learns to keep some things to herself. Michael, the spirit of a Druid priest, befriends her as a child and becomes someone she can trust and depend on as she matures. Michael is there for her through the many hardships and trials that Brigit endures. Their love illustrates love that is eternal, timeless and knows no boundaries. He guides her as she learns who she can and cannot trust, especially as she is learning to develop her psychic abilities and work with agencies assisting in the war efforts. Spirit is just a joy to read. I heartily recommend it.

Embedded with both a necessary hope and an ultimate renewal

Set in the late 1930's and World War II, Spirit by Dolores Stewart Riccio is the story of Brigit, a young woman with clairvoyant powers. As Brigit matures she must learn the lessons of life. Her imaginary childhood friend turns out to be the spirit of a Druid priest, who offers guidance and comfort in her darkest hours. Spirit is enthusiastically recommended reading as being a particularly unique and touching story embedded with both a necessary hope and an ultimate renewal.

a really good read

I'm an avid reader, but it wasn't until I read Spirit that I felt compelled to submit a review. This wonderfully entertaining novel about a young woman with clairvoyant abilities is the sort of book you just can't put down once you've started to read it. I have recommended it to all of my friends. I think it's fascinating reading for anyone who lived during the 1930s and 1940s, for anyone who is interested in the occult, and for anyone who just enjoys being engrossed in an unusual story. I believe this is Dolores Riccio's first novel. I'm hoping it won't be her last.
