This review is from: Yesterday: A Novel of Reincarnation (Kindle Edition)
“Yesterday” is a novel I highly recommended for everyone and especially for English as a second language Americans. Its vocabulary revolves around common expressions sprinkled with forms from a previous era, like the word “rascallion,” a forerunner to “rascal.”
I particularly admired the author’s method of depicting objects and spaces thorough, in plain English. Her ability to form images increases while the action progresses from near inertia to rapid motion in time. The characters also become more defined line by line. The metaphysical element that is introduced in the book abridges a historic event with a romantic novel flawlessly.
I would have liked a less stereotypical Mark, although Mark speaking a once considered extinct language is a great touch. Mark has a future, better yet a future-past in fiction. His relation with Mary, an old soul, can blossom into one of a mentor-student. Mark needs an unresolved crime mystery from an earlier time in his life as a sequel to “Yesterday.” And I wonder, what would Mary have revealed had she been the epicenter of hypnosis sessions?
How did Mark do that thing with his finger? Can I do that?
