The Rose Garden by Susanna Kearsley

Image
One of the authors I truly enjoy reading at present, Susanna Kearsley seems to go back often to her favorite themes: time travel and the Jacobites. It's been noted, and I shared the opinion after I read The Winter Sea , that her writings almost echo the voice of du Maurier  and Mary Stewart , which made me check her out in the first place as the latter two are favorite authors. Regardless of the familiar route of her novels, she is still able to pull up a wonderful surprise and create another engaging tale that is warm and moving. Yet again, Kearsley does twists like a punch in the gut and leaves me quite breathless. Set in a manor by the Cornish coast, her lyrical descriptions, garden-tearoom-atmosphere and historical background compliment the touching story of a woman seeking a place where she belongs and in fact discovers something much more.

The Secret Star by K.C. Finn

It was just another day for 35-year-old-turning-36-tomorrow Jeffrey Mercier, when he woke up on his flat in London in 1969. He went on with his usual routine, going to work for his boring job at Harlan and Locke. It did seem to be an ordinary day, until a young woman told him that he's gonna die in ten minutes if he won't go out of the building. Of course he didn't believe her, yet he found himself outside the building ten minutes later, the building blown up. He was saved again from a stampede by the same young woman whom he met ten minutes ago, introducing herself as Marie-Elizabeth Giraud. Marie was tasked to save Jeff from death and take him to the Time Agency, where he's going to be inducted as a time agent. Later that day, Jeffrey Mercier's life as Mister Mercy begins.

The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley

Image
One winter day blanketed with snow, historical fiction writer Carrie McClelland took a different turn down an unknown road to pass by the ruined castle of Slains in a coastal town of Scotland. Beguiled by its savage beauty by the edge of the cliffs, it had struck to her the much needed inspiration to finish the next book she was writing, about the Stewarts in the 1700s. On the day she stops by the castle, she meets someone whose eyes are the color of winter sea as the ruins poke her mind with sudden possible scenes using the name of her ancestor, Sophia, to begin her story. Little did she realize that the plotted events of the distant past seems to be the one maneuvering her writing and her imagination, mysteriously connecting the ancient times to it, appallingly unfolding a betrayal that wrecked havoc in history. The lines drawn between fiction, history and reality almost blurs on this pleasant novel of Susanna Kearsley, the first in the Slains series, using time travel to ho...
