I do love a good time travel novel and this is a good time travel novel. Eva Ward has just lost her beloved sister Katrina, and she takes her ashes to be scattered where they spent their childhood together - at Trelowarth in Cornwall. While there Eva starts experiencing very strange distortions in time - she finds herself at Trelowarth but in the 18th century.


In order to enjoy this book you just need to totally suspend any sense of reality and logic and just go with the flow of the magical writing and the possibility of a love that spans two times and two worlds. If you stop trying to figure out how it could possibly work and just let the book be you will find yourself drawn into a truly wonderful story. The characters are interesting, the love story divine and the twist at the end - well I truly did not see that coming at all!


So I invite you to come along to a special rose garden on the coast of Cornwall where you never know what might happen. At the least you will have a delightful reading experience lost in the magical world Susanna Kearsley creates.
