Yesterday's Child

By Barbara Wood

Book Overview

Brimming with the passion and suspense Barbara Wood's fans have come to expect, this magnificent novel portrays two lovers separated by deadly secrets and trapped in the fateful hourglass of time.

Beautiful young Andrea travels from Los Angeles to her ancestral home in England to meet her relatives and confront her mysterious heritage. But from the first moment she steps foot in her grandmother's cold Victorian house in Warrington, she senses an awesome, unsettling presence. She knows that a rendezvous awaits her: a terrifying journey into the past, and a shattering encounter that will mark and change her forever. Andrea soon learns how terribly right her instincts have been. Waiting for her is Victor Townsend, a man who reaches out to embrace her from beyond the grave, a man for whom she hungers--even though she knows of his past evil deeds. But Andrea also discovers the lingering horrors of the old house, its carefully buried secrets, and a timeless, tragic passion still burning within its aging walls.

You can't stop until you're through!

I just read this book in German (I am a German exchange student, 16 years of age) over the last weekend. I couln't lay it out of my hand until I knew what really happened. I am a big fan of Barbara Wood's books, but this one bount me more than I could imagine. It absorbed me so much. I advise it to everyone, no matter which age or what kind of books prefered. This one is incredible!

A parallel world of today and yesterday under one roof

Why is this book out of print? Barbara Wood bring out such an unusual storyline in this haunting tale. A young woman goes back to her grand mothers house in England to what she thinks is to be a boring visit with an old and dying grandfather. The grandfathers' family is taboo and never discussed, it's dark secrets never revealed, until they start playing their life out infront of her eyes. Is she going mad? Eventually she doesn't care, because the lives she sees...... well that would be telling, wouldn't it! I thought it was a good story and a great read!
