A Once and Future Love (Time Passages, No 18)
Richard Lambert went to England to fulfill his dead wife's wish, never knowing that he would be reunited with her, albeit 700 years in the past. Meanwhile, in 1214, Lord Richard de Lambert creates terror throughout the land with his ruthlessness. Even his wife Eleanor holds no affection for him. Wounded in battle, Lord Richard's body is sent to Eleanor. At first thought to be dead, Richard eventually begins to heal. Yet the Richard who opens his eyes is completely different. This Richard, the one from the future, took the place of his namesake. Now, he must win the love of his wife while surviving in a land fraught with turmoil. With warring factions closing in around him, modern-day Richard must come up with some innovative techniques that will disguise his true identity - while trying to breathe some life into his marriage. What a fascinating book! Ms. Kelleher has taken time travel to a new level. Packed with energy and intrigue, this is one not to miss! The time period is cleverly brought to life, and the author does a credible job of handling various historical elements. Amy Wilson  --Copyright © 1999 Literary Times, Inc.
