A Lot To Remember: A Supernatural Journey Through Thr French Province Of Lot (Joan Grant Autobiography) Download Free (EPUB, PDF)
Subtitled "a supernatural journey through France," this book is a charming memoir based on several trips Joan Grant made through the Lot region of France. She describes not only her mundane travels and adventures, but also the hidden dimensions of her trips--the laments of soldiers who had recently died during the second world war, as well as the cries of spirits who had died violently centuries before.

If you are looking for a travel summary of the sights and sounds of the countryside, what the menus were at the local tavern, how much the wine and meals cost, and what the state of the bedrooms at the inns were like, this is the book for you. However, if (like I was) you are expecting to read about supernatural encounters, you may just as well save your money. I have never read anything by Joan Grant before this, so I cannot guess as to how interesting her other works may be.. I only know I was sorely disappointed in this one. There were only two "supernatural" encounters, each not being more than a page or so, in the whole book. A "Supernatural Journey" ...... I think not!
I can see a reader being disappointed by this book, as there is really almost nothing "supernatural" about it! The fact is, Joan only wrote this for her publisher in order to finance a trip to the Lotoise region of France in the 1950's, where she had traveled many times throughout the 20th century. Having said that, I thoroughly enjoy her writing. She has a chapter about the children of the region, for example, which is wonderful. I love travel books in general, and so, even though this book is fairly useless for contemporary Lotoise travel, having been written 60 years ago, it is really fascinating for me, an American, to read about the history and culture of that time. There were some gems in it for sure.
