Appartiene alle SerieVeil of Time (1)
In the tradition of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander, a woman finds herself transported to ancient Scotland and to nobleman Fergus, brother of the king. Fergus desperately wants Maggie to stay and create a life with him, but she's torn. Will she choose her future or his past? A compelling tale of two Scotlands--one modern, one ancient--and the woman who parts the veil between them. The medication that treats Maggie's seizures leaves her in a haze, but it can't dull her grief at losing her daughter to the same condition. With her marriage dissolved and her son away at school, Maggie retreats to a cottage below the ruins of Dunadd, once the royal seat of Scotland. But is it fantasy or reality when she awakens in a bustling village within the massive walls of eighth-century Dunadd? In a time and place so strange yet somehow familiar, Maggie is drawn to the striking, somber Fergus, brother of the king and father of Illa, who bears a keen resemblance to Maggie's late daughter. With each dreamlike journey to the past, Maggie grows closer to Fergus and embraces the possibility of staying in this Dunadd. But with present-day demands calling her back, can Maggie leave behind the Scottish prince who dubs her mo chridhe, my heart? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

I very much enjoyed this one - 3 1/2 stars, rounded up to 4. I've realized that I have a thing for time travel books, so I was thrilled to get a Giveaway copy! Using Maggie's seizures as the mechanism for time travel was an interesting one, that I think worked well. Some of the details of the travel and its workings were a bit murky, but I suppose they would be to Maggie, anyway. I thought the choice to make her relationship with her son strong was a good one - if they had been estranged, or she felt as though he didn't need her, the choice Maggie has to make would have had a different dynamic. I truly wasn't sure which way she would choose for a while, and it helps the reader understand the difficulty of her decision.
From the author interview at the end, it looks as though there will be a sequel, if not a trilogy, and I'll be looking forward to book 2! Highly recommended for fans of [a:Diana Gabaldon|3617|Diana Gabaldon|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1213918339p2/3617.jpg] and [a:Susanna Kearsley|486812|Susanna Kearsley|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/authors/1245008341p2/486812.jpg].
