Julia cannot resist the pull of Greywethers, a country house full of history, secrets, and perhaps, a ghost, and as she figures out the story it has to tell, her life changes in ways she never could have expected. Kearsley‘s telling of all that happens in Julia‘s experience is superb, and I just loved it. This definitely won‘t be the last I read of this author.

Solid reading week - here's the #bookreport :

Read at least some of everything in my stack. Gave up on The Fairest of Them All. Have about fifty pages left of Mariana, so it should be finished today. Also read half of Match Made in Manhattan (not pictured) before deciding to bail on it. Really enjoyed the Haven Point books and will probably be finishing that series this week, since the rest came from the library yesterday.

@Cinfhen

Crazeedi I enjoyed all the Kearsley books I've read! 5y
TheAromaofBooks @Crazeedi - I had actually never heard of her before, but as long as this one ends as strongly, I definitely will be checking out some more!! Do you have a favorite? 5y

Oh wow!!! So glad I chose this one as my pick for this round of #LMPBC! Can‘t wait to read more of this author‘s backlist.
While I had hoped for that ending, there were some twists and turns along the way, and the story and writing were totally absorbing. Some tears, some swoons and a very nicely-done happily ever after.
Loved! 5/5⭐️

Not surprised this book won the Catherine Cookson Fiction Prize. An excellent book, and my favourite Susanna Kearsley book. Twin time lines that come together in an interesting way.
Definitely recommended if you enjoy historical fiction, mysteries and books with a hint of a ghost story.

For the fact that I don't usually read romance or hist.fic. this was both unusually engrossing for me. I love realities blended with magic and I think that's what kept me intrigued along with some very enjoyable characters (a Scottish brogue helped too 😍). The romance story was still somewhat trite and predictable but not in a roll-eyes-constantly sort of what. This is a must read if you like these genres!

Andrea4 #ReadingWomenChallenge Kearsley is a #Canadianauthor and fulfills no.9 on the list! Woot for more #Canadianbooks this year!! And thanks for the rec @llwheeler 😄 7y

My favorite Susanna Kearsley book! Julia, a contemporary book illustrator, "time slips" back to 17th century England #timeaftertime. She finds herself living the life of Mariana Farr--At first it is just for a few hours before she returns to the present. However, each trip lasts longer and longer....

Made myself a chart to keep track of #192019challenge (read a book published each year from 1920 to 2019). It's still pretty empty but I'll fill it 🤓
Just added Mariana as my 1994 book. I thought it would be my 2010 book but turns out overdrive was showing me the audiobook pub date not the original pub date.

#bookhaul Cicero is great, but he was missing the magic I needed out of my summer solstice read, so I went to the bookstore and said "I need something kate morton like, but a bit magical, please." This is what I came away with. And yes, I did give in and buy my first Nora Roberts (I did it for the shiny cover!) I guess that makes me officially an adult now? All my friends moms had her books growing up. Excited to get lost in one of these tonight!

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. I will try to keep up with this a bit better this year. Anyway, I really enjoyed this historical fiction with some paranormal elements, some time travel, and of course some romance. If you are a fan of Diana Gabaldon, like me, then you need to check out Kearsley's novels. (I liked The Winter Sea a little bit more than this one, but both good!)

Bakingbookworm I just finished rereading Kearsley's The Winter Sea and I'll be rereading Mariana soon too. Loved both the first time around. 8y
Bookaddict @Bakingbookworm Yes!! I loved the Winter Sea and hope to check out Kearsley's The Rose Garden next. 8y
Bakingbookworm I own The Rose Garden but still need to read it. I'll be seeing Susanna Kearsley again in a couple of weeks. She's MCing a book brunch for Charlotte Gray in Uxbridge, Ont. So excited!! Going to bring my copy of Mariana for her to sign. She's so nice and down to earth. Squee!! 8y

The romantic stories I read are usually classics or historical fiction. I heard that Susanna Kearsley books have those types of vibes, and I found that to be true of Mariana. I have more of her books on my TBR. Note: There are some supernatural elements and time travel, but it is done well I think.

I'm really enjoying this book! I would love to see the homes she describes, to live near a little village in England with so much history under every stone. The past-life plot device is really well done, it definitely helps drive the storyline.
