A Guide to The Giuliana Legacy
We hope your discussions of the questions provided here will deepen your understanding of Julia's inheritance, the five-thousand-year-old Giuliana Legacy, and to further illucidate the novel's timeless truths and visionary characters.
  1. What are the similarities between the first images of setting in the prologue and the first chapter of The Giuliana Legacy?

  2. How are the specifics of the settings important? What is the significance of the similarities? Where else in the novel do these specific images reappear?

  3. Setting, time, and place are important elements in any novel. Visionary fiction expands the parameters of time and space to include, for instance, multiple lifetimes and electromagnetic ley lines. How is the opportunity for this kind of "expansion" utilized in The Giuliana Legacy? How is it thematically important?
