fact we should even write reviews about books that you just has read. But I have decided today, a review of "Mariana" to To write even though I know the book has been around six years and have read about five times.
I recently indulged me in my German version, the original version in entlische new cover. It was worth it.

Inhalt:
The first time Julia Beckett saw Greywethers she was only five, but she knew at once that it was her house. Now, twenty-five years later, by some strange chance, she has just become the new owner of the sixteenth-century Wilshire farmhouse. But Julia soon begins to suspect that more than coincidence has brought her there. As if Greywethers were a porthal between worlds, she finds herself abruptly transported back in time. Stepping into seventeenth-century England, Julia becomes Mariana, a beautiful young woman struggling against danger and treachery, and battling a forbidden love for Richard de Mornay, handsome forebear of the present squire of Crofton Hall. Each time Julia travels back, she becomes more enthralled with the past, falling ever deeper in love with Richard...until one day she realizes Mariana's life threatens to eclipse her own--and that she must find a way to lay the past to rest, or risk losing a chance for love in her own time.
Meine Bewertung:
Cover
Ich hab das deutsche Cover seit fünf Jahren als Bild an meiner Wand hängen. Did it once repainted in watercolor and once signed off by coal. I love the cover. The English (new) cover is more modern, but also very very nice.
5 / 5
Plot
A plot, as it should be. Contains everything from love, suspense, mystery and history to family secrets. Until the end by well planned. It must be, in my opinion.
5 / 5
originality
time travel novels are en masse, but there are many novels that suggest time travel only. Where the main character in a "delusion" roaming around? No idea! It was the first book in the genre that I've read and I was thrilled.
