Product Description

Review
'A riveting timeslip novel' Fanny Blake 'Her forte is mood, atmosphere and the toe-curling frisson' Elizabeth Buchan, Sunday Times 'Stephen King meets Ruth Rendell' Frank Delaney 'Barbara Erskine's storytelling talent is undeniable' The Times

Product Description
The powerful new timeslip novel from the worldwide bestselling author of Lady in Hay, in which the fate of a young woman becomes entwined with the extraordinary history of a Celtic princess. Jess, a young teacher in London, is attacked by someone she fears knows her well. Fleeing to her sister's house in the Welsh borders to recuperate, she is disturbed by the cries of a mysterious child. Two thousand years before, the same valley is the site of a great battle between Caratacus, king of the mighty Catuvellauni tribe, and the invading Romans. The proud king is captured and taken as a prisoner to Rome with his wife and daughter, the princess Eigon. Jess is inexorably drawn to investigate Eigon's story, and as the Welsh cottage is no longer a peaceful sanctuary she determines to visit Rome. There lie the connections that will reveal Eigon's astonishing life - and which threaten to reawaken Jess's own tormentor. Barbara Erskine's ability to weave together the past and the present, shedding light on a real but little-known figure, makes this a tremendous novel of Roman and Celtic history, passion and intrigue.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely gripping story, 8 Jul 2008
By Damaskcat (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I was hooked from the very first page. The tension builds until you almost can't bear to read any more. I had to read it in small chunks until I got to the last 150 pages - when I couldn't bear to put it down until I knew what happened. Jess goes through a traumatic time in her own life and finds herself haunted by Eigon - a princess from Romano Britain - when she escapes from her problems to stay at her sister's Welsh farmhouse. Her pursuit of the truth about Eigon leads her into danger and also to Rome where her sister is staying with a friend. Jess starts to see friends and enemies in a new light. Can she uncover the truth about the present as well as the past? If you like 'Lady of Hay' you will love this. It is Barbara Erskine on top form.

3.0 out of 5 stars Really sorry to be negative, 25 Jul 2008
By Mrs. S. J. Hart - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
For the first time ever, I have been unable to finish a Barbara Erskine. I'm a fan of her work, read all her books, buy them in hardback on the day of release, normally have them in pre-order with Amazon for months in advance. A month down the line, I've not finished this book and this morning I've taken the bookmark out and I've given up. I simply don't care what happens. I've no interest in the characters, found them incredibly annoying and can't relate to them at all. I'm gutted. I'm giving it a 3 just in case it's my own tastes that have changed. I will be buying her next one, after all, her last one, I read in 2 days flat, this one, it's been a hard slog and I've not reached the finish line. Sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars All the magic of Lady of the Hay, 6 Jul 2008
By Mrs. L. C. Manzione (Derbyshire UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This story for me of Jess a teacher who is attacked by someone she has known and trusted for along time was a scary beginning, then the ghosts take over and she finds herself in Rome seeking Eigon a girl from the past who also has been attacked, the description of Rome, you actually feel as if you are there with them, this for me was on par with lady of the hay, i read it in a week i ate, slept and dreamt about it, fans of Barbara Erskine will not be dissapointed. I wait in awe for her next one.
