About this product

Product Information

A story spanning centuries. A long awaited revenge. In London, journalist Jo Clifford plans to debunk the belief in past-lives in a hard-hitting magazine piece. But her scepticism is shaken when a hypnotist forces her to relive the experiences of Matilda, Lady of Hay, a noblewoman during the reign of King John. She learns of Matilda's unhappy marriage, her love for the handsome Richard de Clare, and the brutal death threats handed out by King John, before it becomes clear that Jo's past and present are inevitably entwined. She realises that eight hundred years on, Matilda's story of secret passion and unspeakable treachery is about to repeat itself... Barbara Erskine's iconic debut novel still delights generations of readers thirty years after its first publication.

    if you want tension , read this

    An excellent read and well worth the time taken to get into the story itself. Barbara Erskine is a quality author whose grasp of the English language is second to none. Her characterisation is excellent and you can almost feel yourself living in the age. All in all a great read.

    Loose pages

    Bit disappointed because the first 20 or so pages were coming loose, but after holding in strange positions whilst reading and getting past those pages, book was fine to hold. Fantastic story though
