Endless Time
Can a great love survive to transcend time?
It is 1806, and in her home, Ashbourne Manor, a woman opens a letter warning her of the terrible fate awaiting her and her unborn child. By nightfall both are dead in the rubble of a burnt out tower.
.
When Karen Courtney suffers an almost fatal accident, she awakens to find herself occupying the body of scandalous Regency beauty, Caroline Marchmont. Traumatized by her situation, Karen is seeking a way back to her own time and the child she left behind.
She falls deeply in love with her new ‘husband,’ a man who hated the original Caroline and distrusts her apparent character change. He dismisses her tale of another existence in the future, and her valuable knowledge of the threat posed by Napoleon Bonaparte.
When it becomes obvious that someone has murder in mind, it takes all her courage and intelligence to survive and discover the truth behind her extraordinary journey through time.
Back in the present, Tom Levy, a psychotherapist reluctantly agrees to help a frightened American tourist, Valerie Winterhouse, who appears to regress into past lives. While denying the theory of rebirth, a resistant Tom is drawn into Valerie’s exotic experiences. Already intrigued by Karen’s exhibited paintings, he feels unusually connected to the still and lonely figure in the hospital bed, visiting her constantly and striving to break through to her consciousness.
And then the two strands in time connect.

Endless Time is more than a romance, it's a moving love story, reminding us that the bond between a man and a woman can have the strength to overcome time itself. The heroine, Karen Courtney is a woman who has had to fight for her place in the world, enduring loss and betrayal. When disaster strikes, she takes up the extraordinary challenge of life in early C19th London, refusing to give way to despair, although Antony, the `new' man in her life, doesn't make things any easier. Both are well-drawn, believable characters who stand out against the rich tapestry of the Regency/Napoleonic era.
There are snippets of history, both political and social; dramatic encounters with an enemy; and a fascinating secondary plot evolving in the present day but linked to the past.
The way Karen deals with the frustrations and outright hatred she encounters, and the joy and gradual awakening of a love that will demand all, kept me reading late into the night. A thoroughly enjoyable book!
