I just love Susanna Kearsley's writing, every single book I have read so far I have instantly adored! I realised that last August was when I read The Firebird and Named of the Dragon, it seems that Kearsley's books are the answer when I find myself completely sick of summer and longing to be cosy!This book follows Julia, a woman who is drawn to a specific cottage in a small English village her whole life. After moving to the village she starts encountering the life of a woman named Mariana whoDNFI got bored.
In a small village outside of London, Julia Beckett buys Greywethers, a 300 year old farm house that she has been in love with since she was five years old. The house isn't perfect but she feels like she has come home. Mysteriously, Julia feels a connection to the house which guides her to relive her previous life as Mariana, who lived 300 years before at Greywethers. With the support of one of her warm and friendly new neighbors, Mrs. Hutchinson, she gradually regresses to her life as Mariana.
The inspiration behind Greyweathers in Avebury, WiltshireOhhh, you guys. I really don't know what I'm going to do when I run out of Susanna Kearsley's books to read. After finishing The Rose Garden a few days ago, I told myself to wait at least a few weeks to read this one - you know, to stretch it out, so I wouldn't go through withdrawal or anything. I picked up The Forgotten Garden as I'd heard Kate Morton's stuff was similar, but even after 100 pages, it failed to grab me because all I wanted
I loved reading this sweeping, romantic, enthralling, atmospheric love story that intertwines the present day with the 17th century. It reminded me of Kate Morton, sort of modern gothic, but much heavier on the romance. It was exactly the kind of book I was in the mood for! I loved the characters, I loved the historical setting and its modern day counterpart, I even loved the love story - it made my heart beat a little faster and gave me butterflies in my stomach (which is generally how I judge
Mariana has made me an instant fan of Susanna Kearsley and after finishing her novel, I'll be sure to look for more works by this author. This was such a beautifully written novel and at times it felt reminiscent of Daphne du Maurier's writing as Kearsley does a masterful job of depicting her setting to such vivid detail that not only does it leave nothing to the imagination, but you actually feel like you've been catapulted into the storyline and are walking alongside the characters
