This is a story of the author writing a story. It always needs something to catch the imagination and to start the flow of ideas turning into words. For me, this time it was hearing church bells in the middle of a summer night... That really did happen... And I was off... I became Saskia Stevens, and I followed her lead from her discovery of Molly Jones's tombstone to 'time-slip' into her life and those of her friends and family. Her story took me to see rural life in 19th-century England, to the terrible life of slaves on a Jamaican sugar plantation, and to experience the joy and fears of an adventure: travelling to South Africa, including becoming shipwrecked on an undiscovered tropical island on the way.
