This is the third historical/paranormal timeslip novel by this author set in modern day and Elizabethan York. While this is a fascinating concept and it is pretty well executed, it is very similar to her previous two novels, and without the connection to York as one of my favourite English cities I doubt if I would be pursuing this series. London-based events manager Roz takes a job in York, where she spent the first few years of her life before the tragic deaths of all her immediate family. She finds out that her family were killed by her half brother who set fire to the family home. Roz slips back into the body and life of Jane, an inhabitant of Elizabethan York whose father marries her off against her will to a weak willed and selfish man with a manipulative and grasping mother. After several tragedies and mishaps Jane escapes to London and finds happiness for a few years, though her past eventually catches up with her with tragic consequences. All this mirrors the events in Jane's own past and present that comes to a fiery conclusion at the end of the novel with her rediscovered half brother. A good read, though I do think the author could mix it up a bit more in her novels. ( )

An amazing, compelling story, I couldn’t put it down. Thoroughly recommend it. ( )

This novel shares much with the previous two in the trilogy, Time’s Echo and The Memory of Midnight - which I both read and reviewed - but it is not a sequel, nor a prequel, the three plots and the characters are not related any way.
The three novels share the geographical setting (York), the time-slip pattern (Elizabethan Age/present day), the presence of supernatural events and the fact of having two female protagonists.
