Leigh says: Published in 1994, Kearsley’s full-length debut explores the idea of past lives. On a whim, Julia buys a house she fell in love with as a child and hasn’t seen since until she drives by it by chance. The house feels familiar in ways beyond her understanding. Then she begins to travel back in time to seventeenth-century England where she becomes Mariana, who is a young woman with danger all around her. I loved watching Julia find a home, community, and love in a small British town and figuring out who the present day characters were in their past lives.
