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.

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).

Summary: Unexpected, wonderful, at times scary....adventure
Review: I couldn't put this book down. Not a romance, not a thriller, not a whodunit.... good time-travel fiction with historical flair for reality. I bought it on Friday night, and finished it Sunday afternoon. It was so interesting, so very different from anything I've read lately. This thoroughly unique story moved me to feel what the characters must be feeling, especially their fright and efforts to return to their times. I feel so lucky to have found this book because of a recommendation by an amazon.com listmania list! Thank you!

Summary: Great!
Review: I enjoyed this book a lot. It deals with a young woman about to get married. She receives a present of a strange mirror. The mirror has powers and shows strange things. The mirror causes the girl to switch bodies with her grandmother, transporting her soul back in time about 70 years to her grandmother's 20 year old body.Anyone who had read Michael Moorcock's "Behold the Man" or has seen the Twilight Zone episode where an Elvis impersonator goes back in time to look for Elvis can guess what happens next. Mainly the young girl is forced to live out the life of the grandmother based on what she knows about the grandmother and thus creating the grandmother. What makes this book so good is that it returns to the present and we see the grandmother living out her life in the body of the granddaughter. The author does a marvelous job of showing us the present time through the eyes of someone from the past. It makes us want to re-examine our own lives for wonders we took for granted.

Summary: Still a favorite after all these years
Review: I have a hard back copy (original edition) of this book that I read many years ago (let's not get into the whole age thing here) and I fell in love with the story and the characters. It's still one of my favorite books and, believe me, I've read a LOT of books since this one! Pick up a copy and give it a try - you won't be disappointed if you like time travel and great characters!!

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.

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.

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!
