A Guide to The Giuliana Legacy

  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?

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?
