When psychic aberrations impinge on the well-being of a retired teacher, he seeks psychological help. Regression hypnosis presents itself as a viable option. A previous incarnation proves to be responsible for the phobia's and mental 'presence' blighting his life. 'Kiss of an Angel' is a unique narrative that simultaneously follows the life of Geoff, an ordinary ex teacher, and the remarkable exploits of Joshua, his previous incarnation, through the medium of deep regressive hypnotism. Josh was (re)born in 1897 and found himself in the third rank of young soldiers who went over the top during he first charge of the infamous Battle of the Somme. Seriously wounded and captured by the enemy, Josh, now disfigured and disabled, falls in love with the young German nurse responsible for saving his life. In this epic tale of heroism and betrayal, love and despair, spiritualism and worldliness, and Heaven and Hell, all stones are upturned exploring the horrors of war, and human transgress. Nor the generational psycho-neurosis it may cause.
