Book Review: Wonderful Time Travel
Summary: 5 Stars
A Wish in Time is a succinct description of the book's theme. In 1718 Scotland, Magda McClellan is offered a wish by Auld Annie. But Magda has a happy marriage, loves her husband and is eight months pregnant--her life is perfect, so she declines the wish. In present time, Maggie MacDonald and her husband are a happy couple very much in love and have all they could want-- except a child. Auld Annie appears to Maggie and her husband and says she can now grant her the wish, except they have no idea who the strange old nurse is or what she`s talking about. Maggie awakens in 1718 Scotland, in Magda's body, and Magda awakens in present time in a hospital in Maggie's body. You can imagine the emotional turmoil that ensues for the women and their husbands, but the author's gifted writing allows you to share their adventures and their ache to return home.
The author did her research, her writing is smooth, and effortlessly drew me back to 1718 Scotland. Her dialog is clever, and when writing in the past she uses the Scots accent which I happen to enjoy. The characters are true to life and brief hints of the history made that part of the story believable. Present day characters and scenes are written equally well. The story is an interesting one, well thought out, and had me picking up the book every chance I could. The theme of everlasting love was the best part for me, and the way the author conveyed the love felt between the husbands and wives was very believable. Very sigh-worthy. Loved the book and I highly recommend this to anyone who likes romance and time travel.
