Lady of Hay April 24, 2008
I wanted to give this three stars as the passages dealing with Matilda's life are excellent,but this is let down by the plot set in the present day. The Heroine Jo despite appearing to be a 'modern' woman is just too wet. She spends the entire book being passed around the male characters and more often than not being abused by them. The irony is that for all the constraints of her time Matilda comes across as the stronger more modern woman. One thing that made me laugh was the amount of coffee the modern day characters drink, every other page someone is either making coffee or drinking it. It's hard to believe they are all so susceptible to hypnosis with the amount of caffeine racing round their systems. Disappointing but the author shows promise.

i'm afraid i have to agree with the second reviewer on this one. It was a fantastic plot idea but it just went on and on and for the last 200-odd pages i was just skim reading. the characters started off well but just seemed to keep going round and round in circles with each other until it got to the point where i didn't really care about any of them anymore! I'm about to try 'Child of the Phoenix' which i hope will be a bit better!

A friend recommended this book. The start was promising and I loved the historical parts, but the rest! The main characters were totally unsympathetic, being either nasty or silly or both. The story line quickly became incredible, giving the impression that the idea had not been thought through properly or that the author had clung to the original idea long after the working out had taken in way past the point at which the reader could believe in the main characters actions, or care about them.
I would not not recommend this book to anyone who cared about plot or characterisation.

I love this type of book, it goes back and forth from the present time to medieaval times with a good plot cleverly thought up, very like anya seatons green darkness, a really good read.

This book is wonderful, quite simply the best book I have ever read and read and re read No way am I going to give away any plot details and spoil all the fun!

The subject of hypnotic regression & reincarnation could well put some dyed in the wool fuddy duddies off, but please try it. I would hate for you to miss out on a book which captures the imagination with it's well drawn historical and contempory characters, both of which meld seamlessly together.
I read this book on it's original release many years ago and I cannot praise it highly enough. So good I wish I'd never read it so I could enjoy it fresh!
