Shelly's Book Journal

Julia has been drawn to a house in rural England her entire life. The death of an aunt gives her the means to purchase it. But why does the house look so familiar? And why are the people so familiar? And who is Mariana? Julia must explore the past to learn her future.Having read both The Rose Garden and the Winter Sea, was really looking forward to this story. Not quite a time travel tale, it was an interesting perspective. I liked Julia - she seemed to have so much life in her. I think the author drew out the story a little longer than I would have liked, the suspense was quite agonizing. The Rose Garden is still my favorite.
