Resumen:

If The Spirit Moves You : If the Spirit Moves You is the story of life after death - it chronicles a year in the life of Justine Picardie after the death of her sister, her soul mate, from breast cancer. It tells of the yearning to conjure a voice from the vast silence, of how we fill the space that appears when someone dies, or how the space fills itself, of a bond between sisters that, like an endless conversation, carries on. Told in a series of diary entries from Good Friday 2000 to Easter Sunday 2001, the book is filled with significant characters from the author's life - her Jewish academic father, who searches for answers to life's existential questions in the Kabbalah; her Catholic therapist mother; her husband, her children - as well as the spiritualists she encounters and their machines that speak to the dead.
