As I have a passion for books, I’ve accepted a further offer to write a book review for Victoria L Short latest book Through the Water, Darkly. Victoria is a new author to me, regardless I was eager to commence this historical romance novel.
The book is available in most bookstores and online retailers now. Congratulations to Victoria for a truly incredible book.
Book Description
What if their future lay in her past?
Caroline Curtis is an avid horticulturalist, who is injured during the restoration of a local country estate. She wakes in a familiar body, but a different time, and with mixed memories of her twenty-first century life and those of a seventeenth century lady, which causes difficult conflicts not only in herself but the people around her. The first English civil war is over, and the king deposed. The Prince of Wales is fleeing the country, and, as Caroline fights to change the future of the man with whom she has fallen in love, she begins to realise that time is not a straight line.
About The Author – Victoria L Short
I’m a mother to two teenagers and since moving from London the Suffolk five years ago I found I had some spare time, so I started to write. I wrote a little novella Our story coming home, which being my first I tend to cringe lol. Then in 2018 I re-produce my late grandfather WW2 logbook, A Stoker Logs, HMS Whelp, The Forgotten British Pacific Fleet. my grandfather served as a stoker on HMS Whelp, alongside Prince Phillip as the ships second in command.
My latest novel is an 80k romance time-slip called Through the water, Darkly which I super proud of. In-between writing and running a household I work in the film industry doing hair, makeup and wardrobe.
Book Review
This book is sprinkled with romance, historical facts and an out of body experience.
The book commences in the 21st Century when Caroline retrieves a work-related accident, and she suddenly experiences an out of body experience living in the 17th Century. She finds love with Nicholas, Lord Trevilian and becomes Lady Trevilian and Mistress of Debden Manor.
Throughout the book, Caroline struggles with culture and equal rights as she knows how the world has evolved in the 21st century. Caroline manages to appear too forward with her use of the English language in the 17th century, this can get her into trouble at times. Her knowledge of 21st century medical issues can improve the lives of people back in the 17th century. Caroline develops some very touching friendships and in one specific friend shares her horticultural knowledge to empower her.
Caroline foresees the future and attempts to change the course of action for love but is unable to delay the inevitable.
This book was extremely obsessive reading, and I must admit that I cried at the end. I would thoroughly recommend this book.
