The first time Julia Beckett saw Greywethers she was only five, but she knew that it was her house. And now that she’s at last become its owner, she suspects that she was drawn there for a reason. As if Greywethers were a portal between worlds, she finds herself transported into seventeenth-century England, becoming Mariana, a young woman struggling against danger and treachery, and battling a forbidden love. Each time Julia travels back, she becomes more enthralled with the past...until she realizes Mariana’s life is threatening to eclipse her own, and she must find a way to lay the past to rest or lose the chance for happiness in her own time.

She nearly convinced me that what I knew had to be true was wrong. Only in the last pages did she show me that I was right.
A love story with a twist. The reincarnation added something and detracted something in my opinion. It was a bit distracting I guess. The last minute twist added quite a bit to the book. However, it seems like the story could have been told in a closer manner. The reincarnation seemed to take a step away from the story, so the reader is experiencing it at a distance instead of right up close.
One of those books that starts off slow, then everything happens all at once. But it gets a solid 3 1/2 to 4 stars for me because it held my interest, and I am a sucker for Kearsley's romantic histories.
