Summary |
"Don Miguel Lehumada: Discoverer of Liquid from the Sun's Rays" by Sue Greenleaf is an occult romance set in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Don Miguel Lehumada, the titular character, as he explores the scientific and metaphysical implications of a remarkable substance that transforms memories, referred to as "Memory Fluid." This work intertwines elements of science, spirituality, and reincarnation, establishing a backdrop that crosses between Mexican and American contexts. The opening of the book introduces us to significant characters, including the scientist Señor Guillermo Gonzales and the Governor Don Miguel Lehumada, who is portrayed as both a political figure and a man deeply invested in the moral and scientific dilemmas surrounding their discoveries. We learn about Julio Murillo, an assistant to Gonzales, who is examining properties derived from sunlight using chemical instruments. The stage is set for a journey through memory and past lives, hinting at the exploration of justice and retribution related to an infamous character known only as "The Plunger from Kansas." As these characters engage with the profound ramifications of their scientific pursuits, the narrative promises a complex interplay of personal and societal transformations.
