A really good romp, but obvious that there is a lot of thought and intelligence underpinning it, so a very satisfying read. The characters really come alive to me as the author treats them all as human individuals. No cardboard characters or stereotypes here. The time travel framework allows a great juxtaposition of two cultures. The 16th century and the 21st century passions work out wonderfully differently, yet splendidly the same, from the same stuff of human life. And good fun. ( ) I love this book. It is classified as YA which I don't get. I think it works well as an adult book. Andrea is an anthropologist who time travels as part of a corporate plan to plunder the environmental riches of the past. But the plundering Sterkarm family is more than they bargained for, and Andrea finds that the mindset of the past is more welcoming to her than her current time. In the past she finds love, respect and acceptance. What will happen when she has to choose a side?
