Rating:  Summary: Deserves to be read again and again and again... Review: The mystery of switching identities with an ancestor, the exploration of a place 100 years ago, and a rousing love story are combined into a delightful foray into the mind of Marlys Millhiser. Long out of print, the book has once again become available, just in time to reach a new generation of those who like to read a mystery that is a cut above all the others. Additionally, those interested in the history of Boulder, Colorado, will be intrigued by what it was like a century ago. While the $14.95 paperback price may seem high, this is a book that will be returned to time and time again over the years. I've read my copy at least six times!
Rating:  Summary: Good time travel read Review: This book did not go as I predicted. However it was a great read. I love time travel and this book was a very good one. I gave it to my daughter to read and she also loved it.
Rating:  Summary: From the far side of the looking glass Review: With out sinking to the level of a sloppy time travel romance Millhiser weaves a splendid tale of life changes over the past century. I enjoy time travel books, on the scale of Jack Finney's Time and again series. This I found to be written in the same upscale range. Well recommended
Rating:  Summary: Ultimate Best Read Review: I absolutely loved this novel the first time I read it when I was 18. I still love it as much as a grown mother of teens. A must read for any woman who is a bit of a romantic and loves a bit of sci-fi with time travel.
Rating:  Summary: An Extraordinary Story Review: I bought this book when it was first published and read it at least once a year. It's one of my all-time favorites.
The story itself features a little bit of the supernatural, time travel, and romance, along with some history. One gets a glimpse of life in another era.
The characters are so well drawn that you're pulled into the story and can't put it down. A saga of one girl's dreams that were turned into a nightmare in a blink of an eye. Despite the hardships she endured, the heroine leads an extraordinary life.
You won't want to miss this story now that it's back. If you liked this book, try her other time travel one THE THRESHOLD (1984).
Rating:  Summary: My Favorite Book of all time Review: This is a great book that you find yourself becoming attached to the chararcters. I have given it as gifts since and everyone loves it and is haunted by it as well. It is a great classic -- if you love to read about strong women and mystery please give it a chance.
Rating:  Summary: Parallel time travel Review: I have always been fascinated with the concept, and this novel presents a fantastic possibility in a romantic, but not sappy, manner.
Loved it.
Rating:  Summary: The Mirror Review: Love this book! I read it when it first came out. It debuted in 1981. It was my first time travel and its still the best. In my opinion, she launched the whole time travel/romance era. It really does have everything, and was quite humorous at times.

Rating:  Summary: Worth reading and re-reading Review: This book remains one of my very favorites. Love, sex, romance, danger, time travel, death .... it has it all and I think it is a very well told tale. I was enchanted at the idea of young Shay exchanging bodies with her grandmother and then living out her grandmother's life. (You have to read to understand) I thought the author did a most excellent job of telling the tale from the two characters points of view when they were thrust into a total foreign (to them) world.
