A little word about a book I read.....
Another Time, Another Placeby T. Sue Versteeg
First of all, let me say that I LOVE Toni Sue. She's a Diva and has always been there to leave a message or say the right thing. So, when I saw her book up in print, I snagged it.
The premise? Dreaming of a castle, Tessa Garrett jumps at the chance to visit it when her best friend finds it on the internet. Her visit becomes a nightmare when she falls and wakes up in 13th Century England with a gorgeous man who resembles her ex boyfriend, but isn't. Eric Hadley finds Tessa dazed on his land and takes her in. The connection between them is instant, and dangerous.
Now, I'm picky. It seems crazy to me that a modern woman could go back to the 13th Century and survive. And Ms. VerSteeg doesn't make is easy on Tessa. I think she did a wonderful job of introducing us to what 13th Century England may do in the face of a modern person and their language. The twist and turns of this story to reach the happy ending (which you wonder throughout the whole book how the author is going to pull it off) were so layered and complex, that when I reached the end of the book, I was fully satisfied.
Ms. VerSteeg has given me a treat. It's emotional and funny and suspenseful all at the same time. Even the very end gives a warm feeling (no spoilers). The theme of forgiveness seems to thread through the book and the author gives every character the growth in the book to make it a terrific read.
I highly recommend this book. I found it really difficult to put down. Five Dancing Hobbes for you Toni Sue.
