Description
A woman, a war, a vision of the future past . . .
Burdened with the scars of a tortured childhood and a shattered romance, Kitty is being forced to resign from the dull, anonymous job she’s been hiding behind. With her life in shambles and her friends moving on without her, she jumps at her cousin, Maggie’s, invitation to visit.
But Maggie’s new boyfriend, Simon, has a secret that accidentally hurls the trio a hundred and fifty years into the past. Trapped in the midst of the bloodiest war in American history, and acutely aware their actions might trigger a butterfly effect on the future, the events that unfold will require more mettle than Kitty’s ever had.
Fated Memories doesn’t sit comfortably within the scifi genre – it uses time travel to cast characters back in time, but I’d suggest that the novel is primarily historical fiction. That said, there are plenty of contrasting views of life and values from the viewpoints of differing times, and that helps to keep the time travel theme alive.
This was a fun and easy novel to read, immersing the reader into the time of the America Civil War.
