This unforgettable story of undying love combines mysticism, suspense, mystery, and romance into a web of good and evil that stretches from 16th-century England to the present day. Richard Marsdon marries a young American woman named Celia, brings her to live at his English estate, and all seems to be going well. But now Richard has become withdrawn, and Celia is constantly haunted by a vague dread. When she suffers a breakdown and wavers between life and death, a wise doctor realizes that only by forcing Celia to relive her past can he enable her to escape her illness. Celia travels back 400 years in time to her past life as a beautiful but doomed servant. Through her eyes, we see the England of the Tudors, torn by religious strife, and experience all the pageantry, lustiness, and cruelty of the age. As in other historical romance titles by this author, the past comes alive in this flamboyant classic novel.

    This is truly a story examining the fantastic/probable idea of reincarnation. Starting at present time and shifting back to Tudor England to follow the paths of the proponents. It is a lengthy study with great historic detail and multiple characters (I'm glad to have read much of that era, or I would have been lost). It was an interesting exploration and the philosophical aspects were well and subtly examined without overbearing presence. All together it was an OK read, but not compelling.

  • Interesting, paralleled love story. Fans of historical romantic fiction will enjoy this intriguing psychological drama. However, it's a bit slowly-paced and drags at places. Overall though, not a bad way to kill a few hours.
