Love this story! Time travel is my favorite, and this book tops the list. One reason I like it is because the "future" is current day. There are many time travel books written in the 70's, which is also history, so a current day setting is more relatable. Second, I really like the pre-civil war past that is NOT about antebellum South, although some obvious topics, like roles of women and black people were addressed. Those issues are not the focus. The female character, Katrina, is from England and visits New England during 1850, although she travels to other U.S. places throughout the story. I also really enjoyed learning about Jenny Lind, an actual vocal celebrity of that time. Most of us have never heard of her because obviously there are no recordings of her voice. But now I recognize the items named for her and googled her to learn more. This is no perfect book, though. Even though I loved the story, the author, editor, and publisher really missed a great opportunity. The writing has lots of issues...holes in thought, typos, and the ending could have been so much more satisfying. The story does progress slowly the first half, but I credited the author for wanting the reader to really know the characters. In spite of these issues, this is a must-read for time travel lovers!

Sorry it's over
This story kept me coming back every chance I had. The characters were complex and intriguing people and the historic references were very interesting. This is a well thought out story with so many layers and twists that there was never a dull moment and I found myself torn between wanting to know what happens and wanting to make it last.
