The Mirror

Summary: Wonderful book to read and re-read
Review: I read this book many years ago and always checked it out of the library once or twice every few years. Recently, at the library's book sale, they had a copy on the tables for only 50 cents which I picked up immediately. I love this book! It is romantic and funny and endearing. The characters keep your attention and anyone who enjoys time travel fiction will enjoy this book.

Summary: My all time favourite
Review: I read this years ago, I think Marlys must have been one of the first to write about going back in time,how she brings the plot together in the end is a stroke of genius. A very versatile writer

Summary: Fabulous, I could not put it down.
Review: I originaly read this book in the 70's. I have been looking for it ever since. I was thrilled to find out that it was back in print. Everyone on my Christmas list is getting a copy. They have been hearing about it for over 20 years. This book will let you know what it would be like to be transported back in time. You will come to care about the characters as if they are your friends.

Summary: How can this be your favorite book?
Review: I found this book because is is linked to Finney's Time and Again, a book which is delightful, and after I read all your glowing reviews, I couldn't wait for The Mirror! What a disappointment. Are we all talking about the same book? The plot is shallow, the character's have no depth, there are unexplained twists. What a disappointment.

Summary: The perfect book for me.
Review: Ms. Millhiser could not have written anything better for me if she had asked me! I have always wanted to live in my grandmother's time. When I read this book in the 1970's, it immediately became my favorite book. I nearly forced everyone I knew to read it, I was so impressed. They were never sorry! SO VERY GLAd to see it back in print.

Summary: Totally engrossing! Couldn't put it down!
Review: I have read "The Mirror" many times, and each time I find something new to engage my mind. I love the character of Thora K.; her dialect makes me smile. I guess I identify with Shay-- I wouldn't know how to fire up a stove or air out a bedpan, either. I loaned my copy to a friend and now am ordering the paperback so my daughter can read it. I share it with everyone I love! Anyone who loves this book should read "Time and Again" by Jack Finney. A marvelous story, very well written, and the characters will stay with you after you finish the book. Try it! (But stay away from the sequel-- it was a dog.)

Summary: FINALLY! A long lost friend!!
Review: I borrowed this book from the library when I was a child. The story stayed with me as a long lost friend would. The characters are so real and the story is SO romantic. I have searched book stores, libraries, garage sales, bargain bins... with no luck in finding it. Finally, one click on one webpage and here I am looking at my lost friend...I cant wait to get it home!!! This book is a very special treasure for any girl or woman of any age!

Summary: THE BEST
Review: I owned this book years ago and when I couldn't find a good book to read I always reread The Mirror. I loaned it to someone and never got it back so I'm thrilled to be able to find it again. I definitly need my fix after not reading it for so many years now.

Summary: One of my all-time favourites!
Review: I bought this book years ago and was fascinated by the fascinating storyline. I picked it up again recently and the tale was just as interesting, just as fresh as the first time I had read it. I would have loved a sequel. It is particularly interesting to go back through the first part while reading the second to see what both Shay and her grandmother are doing at the same moment. It is also interesting to see how a person's time in which they live shape their lives and personality. a truely timeless tale!
