I love stories set in England. In the case
of THE WORLD BEFORE US, the setting adds to
the suspenseful atmosphere that's so vital
to this wonderful novel. Twenty years ago, Jane Standen was babysitting for Lily, a
young girl who was inexplicably lost in the
woods of northern England. Now Jane is conducting a research project involving
the disappearance of another person, a
woman who vanished a hundred years ago in
the same region as Lily. As Jane weaves
together the mystery of the woman's disappearance,she discovers the historical
facts of both cases are linked. The riveting story reminds us that we are all
united through the events of history and
the roles we play at any given time. This
is a marvelous novel. Five Stars.
