I feel like this books description is misleading. "When the boundary between past and present begins to blur, Carrie finds herself channeling memories not her own. Pulled deeper and deeper into the memories of the past, Carrie realizes these visions are more than the means to another bestselling novel, but also a way to right the wrongs of the past and create a future with the man whose love is her destiny"
Even the front cover reads" when she can no longer tell the difference between today and centuries ago, he's the only one who can reveal the secrets of time"
What? and the back cover stating ... the ultimate betrayal that happened all those years ago, and the knowledge that comes very close to destroying her.
SERIOUSLY the book is just not that mystical, and surreal. Our main character, Carrie does not lose herself and cant distinguish present from past. What does happen is Carrie is a writer who gets so sucked up in to her story, that the does what many writers do. So she writes for a long time and doesnt eat or drink or shower etc.
The author, Susanana kearsley, suggests in this fictious novel that It is very likely that Carrie, has deep in her DNA ancestoral memories that are helping her write what was supposed to be the characters work of fiction. But as our Character Carrie begins to write, and research, she finds that what is she writes can be backed up by true events in history. Nice idea, I find it believable.
This book will teach you more than you can even care to remember about history. But will do it in a way that will make some sense. There is a romance in the present and the past.
A very likeable story, some good history lessons. It is long over 500 pages, but will read fast if you can get through some of the history lessons.
I was kinda expecting more the mystical blurring of past and present, kinda a time travel thing. It worked out fine without that mystical stuff, but I was lead to believe that there might be more mystery, betrayal, and near destruction of our main character Carrie.
