I really loved this book. Whoopie-twang! Recommended by both my mother and Alison Thurman. I can't recommend this book enough!(I received a copy through NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)This reprint (manner of speaking) of a 1978 novel was definitely interesting to read, although I confess not having paid enough attention at first when it came to the original publishing date... and was confused in the beginning. But that's not fault of the book's, only mine.The story weaves the lives of Shay and Brandy, the first being the latter's granddaughter. A mysterious mirrors switches their minds in time, forcing
This is a time-travel romance that I read as a teenager that I re-read every chance I get. The story revolves around the granddaughter switching places with her grandmother on the eve on her wedding...
This is a remarkable book, one that I had never heard of until a few weeks ago. The plot of the story revolves around a mysterious antique mirror and two young women about to be married. A granddaughter and her grandmother, separated by 75 years, both looking into the strange mirror just prior to their weddings, and then the impossible happens; they switch places, slipping into the others bodies. How do they cope, being in another body not familiar to them, living in a time that seems almost
This is probably one of the best books to me that I've read. I loved it. Time travel done the best ever. History and love but not overly mushy.
**** REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS *****This was a really strange book - sort of "Back to the Future" meets "Freaky Friday." The premise was fascinating but the story was unevenly written. At first the whole timeline didn't make sense to me, until I realized that it was published in the 70's - and this also made me wonder if the author was maybe enjoying some herbal refreshment at the time. It's hard to even explain this crazy plot but I will make an attempt. A mysterious, evil Chinese mirror has
It's not, quite, but this book has a bit of the feel of one of those 'gothic' romances that were popular in the 1970's.It's a time-travelling saga of how a cursed mirror twists the lives of the women of one family. In 1978, Shay Garrett is on the verge of marriage to a wealthy and handsome man. But when she looks into a family-heirloom mirror, she suddenly finds herself in the body of her grandmother - in 1900. To her shock, she's still on the verge of a wedding - now, to a man she's never met.
