What happens when you're transported back in time, and suddenly married to your grandfather A really great story..something you can reread again and again.. Follows two relatives, who end up switching places in time, one goes to the past to be thrust into a plain time period filled with rough hard men, and the other into the future to find her way into the sensitive arm's of her granddaughter's fiance..and how they each deal with their alien surroundings and time periods..
Why have'nt I read this before I loved this book!! It is so well written. I loved the way she handled the time paradoxs. Her characters are well developed and totally real. I wonder why I have'nt read it before but I definetly will read it again!!
" FIFTY PAGES TOO LONG " Oh boy, I just know I will get the wrath of most reviewers but, I do recall at least a couple who will agree with me...but, it's my opinion and that's what this is all about.
now before you get the hacking at a response to me...I don't read any, as this is my turn. Next ...the book was intriguing for the first half, then got bogged down . where's was the editor was was it the author herself ? It could have been splendid . but, now this book will find it's way to the local library .
book goes into minute detail on some pages and goes on and on leaving you with the foolish notion there's a reason ( perhaps on the next few pages ? ) but, no, just for the sake of the author's desire . Like bout the scene with the candy store , over and over and yet, when a key character dies ...poof , maybe a small paragraph . one sentence they are here then the next it's like " oh by the way " my uncle dropped dead sort of thing .
If you truly like time travel to the past type books, as I do as well and do not mind reading detail all of which really matter to the story plot . May I suggest ............
" Time And Again " by Jack Finney , " Time After Time " also by Jack Finney . These books well thought out and done with care . I own old copies of those and " All About Time " short stories by Finney .
Also the book " Bid Time Return " by which the movie " Somewhere In Time " starring Jane seymour, Chris Reeve was somewhat losely taken from ...but,it is still a good read and now re-released under title of " Somewhere In Time " same as the movie , to attract new readers . Give them a try . Just my opinion after all, what sort of site would this be if every book had 5 stars ? what's the point ? most of you gave 5 stars which I based buying ' The Mirror ' ... I should have read the 3 star reviews a bit closer .
This book makes you long for a sequel! I read this book about 25 years ago and have loved it ever since.
It took me years to track down a copy (this was well before Amazon and eBay).
This haunting tale will stay with you and leave you longing for the author to write a sequel.
I contacted the author and she said she still receives many letters about this book. She wrote in her letter that the picture on the front of the book shown above is the actual Gingerbread House in Colorado. Although the story is ficton, the house actually exists.
This book is perfect for a rainy Saturday, when you curl up on the couch with a cup of hot tea.
Just a warning, don't read it before you plan on going to sleep!
No, you won't be too scared to sleep and it won't give you nightmares, but you will stay up all night, because you can't put it down!!
Brandy your a fine girl..... Anyone remember the song Brandy by Looking Glass? Well this is a girl named Brandy who goes through a looking glass. Very good read for a rainy day.
