BOOK REPORT




"A DANCE THROUGH TIME" By Lynn Kurland.

Set in the present day, erstwhile writer, Elizabeth Smith, lives in Manhattan and is just THIS close to finishing her novel when she begins to hear voices. The voice is of her dream man, a Scottish laird, tall, handsome, scowling. "Come Elizabeth!". She panics and leaves the apartment to go sit on her favorite park bench. When she awakens from her nap,she finds herself in 14th century Scotland and the adventure begins. She survives being pitched into the pit of Laird Jamie Macleod because he thinks she is a witch having come from the forest. He won't allow women in his keep, but eventually they marry and it becomes important that they find their way through the forest and back to the 20th century.

This is the first in a series of books set thus, some mix times, some do not but they are all very readable. There is even a couple three romances between ghosts and living persons,who all manage to master the time gates and go save his or her man from their ghostly fate.

This sounds like a knock off of my favorite author Diana Gabaldon and her time travelling woman back to 1730-ish Scotland. I will have to check them out. Her uude's name is Jamie too. hmmmm.

There are similarities, however, Lynn Kurland does not write sex scenes, Gabaldon does...y'see. R
