Swan's Way
HE DIED ON A CIVIL WAR BATTLEFIELD OVER A CENTURY AGO, BUT SHE NEVER STOPPED WAITING . . .
Swan's Quarter, a grand old Virginia plantation nestled in the lush Shenandoah Valley, still echoes with the memories of another time. It is there, among the faded portraits of its original owners, that Ginna Jones meets Neal Frazier, a recovering plane crash survivor. Young, handsome, and disturbingly familiar, he is someone Ginna swears she knows. But from where . . . and when?
Her questions are answered when a walk in the garden sends Ginna and Neal spiraling back through the decades to the time of the Civil War, when two lovers were parted by death, their fates unfinished, their destinies waiting. Now, these two travelers from another century will be plunged into a world of lost dreams to embrace a passion that time cannot dim . . . and to fight for one last chance to love again.

The grand plantation of Swan’s Quarter still echoes with memories of another time. It is there that Ginna Jones meets Neal Frazier, a recovering plane crash survivor. Young and handsome, but disturbingly familiar, Ginna is instantly drawn to this mysterious man.
When a walk in the garden sends the pair spiraling back through the veils of time, their fates become entwined with those of two young lovers separated by the Civil War. Plunged into another century, Ginna and Neal will discover destinies still waiting to be fulfilled, and a flame of passion that not even the passage of time can extinguish.

i only got past the prologue and had to stop.i just couldn't get into it.
the love between the characters in the prologue was a little too sappy.the girl already seemed annoying.its not a deep,serious love-the kind i want to read about.its a gushy,on the surface love that i just dont believe in.i wasnt buying it.
what with the "how could anyone not approve of whatever you want,virginia?" please excuse me while i gag.
the book sounded really modern in places during the prologue and at one point i couldn't figure out if it was in the past or in modern times,because of words like this-
uptown. reeked of chemicals.

I love time travels, and liked this one until about 3/4 of the way into it. The main characters were realistic and well-drawn, the secondary characters added dimension to the story and the time travel was believable. Then it got confusing, I had to reread the end several times because I thought I had missed something.

Didn't get very far but wasn't the least bit interested. I have too many books on my shelves to spend time reading a book I am not interested in.
