A transporting drama of love, desire, and hope…
High adventure fraught with unexpected twists marks Sullivan’s engrossing time-travel tale, which takes her heroine two-hundred years back to Regency England. Janet Roberts’s dream of an academic career in literature seems to be coming true after she’s accepted into a Jane Austen graduate seminar in Bath, England. But an unexpected incident sends Janet two hundred years in the past in the Regency era. Struggling to navigate the ups and lows of nineteenth-century society, Janet finds an ally in Emma Huntington. But Emma’s brother, the dashing Sir Edward, is entirely another story. Sullivan’s deft, assured narrative is interwoven with wry humor and shrewd observations as she delves into love, passion, courage, integrity, honor, duty, and sacrifice. The assured prose, visceral images, and sharp dialogue create a suitably period feel, and the swift plot advances unpredictably. Janet is an endearing heroine, and her inner turmoil at the core of the story is beautifully conveyed. Steeped in period feeling and written with intelligence and authenticity, this time-travel tale makes for a winner.
