Summary: Absolutely enthralling
Review: I absolutely loved this book! I've read it about ten times now and each time, it still weaves its magic. Julia/Marianna seemed so real to me and I find the idea of a past life fascinating. I can't wait to read more of Ms. Kearsley's works.

Summary: Beautiful, magical, TAKES YOU THERE!
Review: I am so ecstatic that I happened to find this book! I read this book in ONE SITTING - could not put it down! Julia / Mariana is a wonderful heroine, Richard (her lover in a previous life) is definitely someone I would love to meet and I'm fascinated by the reincarnation theme. This book makes you FEEL everything that Julia / Mariana feel and felt and, believe me, the ending is a stunner - absolutely fantastic! GET THIS BOOK !

Summary: Beautifully written, impossible to put down!
Review: I can't possibly begin to describe what a wonderful book this is. The author drags you into the story until you become so immersed in it that you can't put the book down. Even after the last page is read the images remain with you for a long time. This is one of those books that can be read and reread and not lose its magic. I have lent Mariana to many of my friends and everyone has loved it. I believe that, with this book, we are seeing the emergence of a great storyteller.

Summary: HAUNTING...SPELLBINDING...POIGNANT
Review: It is no wonder that this book won the 1993 Catherine Cookson Fiction Prize! It is a wonderful book written in the best Gothic tradition. Those who love the works of Anya Seton, Barbara Erskine, Victoria Holt, and Catherine Cookson, will love reading "Mariana". It is, without a doubt, a great read.The book takes the main character, Julia Beckett, to a past life, after she purchases a beautiful old sixteenth century house named Greywethers. She has loved the house and been drawn to it ever since she was a young child. Once she moves in, however, life as she knew it ends, and life as Mariana, one half of a pair of star crossed lovers, begins. Mariana lived in the seventeenth century. She and her beloved, Richard de Mornay, the lord of Crofton Hall Manor, were never to live happily ever after, as their life together came to an abrupt end. Yet, they were to be reunited, as his dying words prophesied. It awaited Julia to make things come full circle. As Julia undergoes a past life regression and relives portions of Mariana's life, she ultimately realizes that the past is often found in the present. More important, what once went wrong in the past, may be made right in the present. This spellbinding book is sure to captivate the reader. Buy this book! --This text refers to the edition

Summary: Excellent romance with a twist.
Review: Marianna has it's own spirit that will stay with you for days after finishing it. Upon completion, I turned around and immediately read it again to capture the complete essence of the story. I quickly found a friend to pass it on to, so that we could compare our opinions of this truly classical tale of being called back in time. A must for romance enthusiasts! Susanne, please hurry with your next novel
