Happy Friday! Have you read any of the books in Gabrielle Meyer‘s Timeless series? I am hopelessly behind, but am determined to get caught up. I am currently listening to the audiobook of For A Lifetime, but I do have it downloaded on my Kindle too, so I am hoping to get this book finished quickly. It is a dual timeline/time travel novel featuring twins who live in 1692 and 1912. Whew! It sounds really complicated, and it is, but it is also a riveting story of two women choosing their paths in settings rich in historical detail. I love it and cannot wait to find out how it is all going to end for Grace and Hope. If you have read it, I would love to know your thoughts.
Here’s the first line:
It was a strange reality to be on the precipice of tragedy and not be able to stop it.
Grace and Hope are identical twin sisters born with the ability to time-cross together between 1692 Salem, Massachusetts, and 1912 New York City. As their twenty-fifth birthday approaches, they will have to choose one life to keep and one to leave behind forever–no matter the cost.
In 1692, they live and work in their father’s tavern, where they must watch helplessly as the witch trials unfold in their village, threatening everyone. With the help of a handsome childhood friend, they search for the truth behind their mother’s mysterious death, risking everything to expose a secret that could save their lives–or be their undoing.
In 1912, Hope dreams of becoming one of the first female pilots in America, and Grace works as an investigative journalist, uncovering corruption and injustice. After their parents’ orphanage is threatened by an adversary, they enter a contest to complete a perilous cross-country flight under the guidance of a daring French aviator.
The sisters have already decided which timeline they will choose, but an unthinkable tragedy complicates the future they planned for themselves. As their birthday looms, how will they determine the lives–and loves–that are best for both of them?
