Summary: couldn't put the book down -- what a great read!!
Review: a friend told me about this book just this morning and the premise alone got me outside long enough to pick it up and spend the day reading. It reads so true-to-life, especially for those who have been haunted by other's pasts and sensitive enough hear them. Someone should consider making this novel a movie -- each scene is vivid and compelling -- thank you Paula Martinac

Summary: The past comes alive
Review: I was glad to see this book back in print, because it is delightfully written and cunningly put together. As Susan learns more about the past, she loses touch with the present. I think that has happened to everyone who has ever fallen in love with a picture or a story and wished they somehow knew how it all came out in the end. My only quibble is the unrealistic ending, but that was a small part of an otherwise inspired, unique novel.

Summary: Out of Time, by Paula Martinac
Review: The delicious feeling that women loved each other in another time is the reward of reading this book. It's a thrill, so different from most ghost stories to read a good writer whose intrepid imagination doesn't shy away from asking "What was a kiss like in the 20's?" then startling us some time later with the answer pressed sensuously against her lips.
It reads easily and inevitably, even in its most unlikely plot turns, because the narrator has been found by spirits who kept their secrets while living, but are ready, as the world finally is, for them to be exposed.
A very fun read. I recommend it.

Summary: Do You Believe in Ghosts?
Review: When I first got my hands on this book I wasn't sure if I'd like it, so I put it on my bookshelf. One day, bored with the norm, I picked it up, started reading, and couldn't put it down. Martinac does a wonderful job hiding a relationship in "transition" within a touching story about lesbians from the past. It's hard for many people to believe, but we've been around since the dawn of time.

I found it easy to get wrapped up in Susan's search for answers about "The Gang" while ghosts of Harriet and Lucy help Susan in her quest. This was not a typical lesbian romance, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same.

Recommended for a rainy day, accompained with a cup of hot tea and lemon cookies.
