The eagerly awaited new novel by the author of LADY OF HAY and HOUSE OF ECHOES is the story of a woman trapped in the wrong time. Abandoned by her twentieth century lover, she plots a terrible revenge on him and his family. Adam Craig is fourteen when, near an isolated Celtic stone in the wild Scottish Highlands, he meets Brid, whose exotic, gypsy-like dress and strange attitudes fascinate him. They become friends, then, in time, passionate lovers. Brid leads him, unsuspecting, into the sixth century, where training as a Druid priestess she has mastered their ancient mysteries and powerful magic. In her obsession with Adam she is seen as a traitor by her people and only escapes death by following Adam through time to Edinburgh, where he goes to study medicine. As the years pass he makes new friends, and finds new love, causing Brid to be consumed by a violent rage that knows no bounds. For fifty years, from Scotland to England to Wales, Brid will haunt Adam like an evil shadow. It is finally Adam's granddaughter, Beth, who helps discover the secret that will free them from the terror of Brid's curse.

Weigh Up Of Books On the Edge of Darkness

The element I like best in time travel books is getting to experience the newness through the eyes of the traveller. This element was almost completely missing in this book. To me, this was more of a horror/suspense genre, Brid was evil and Adam was a helpless victim. Coming on the heels of The Winter People, which I read just prior, I am ready to leave this genre behind and read something happy and uplifting now!It was a compelling book that I found interesting, definitely not run of the mill.

484 pages and then 'it was all a dream'.WTF??Good book in concept, shaky in execution and falls apart in the last act.

I'm a relative newcomer to Erskine's books and my latest read has lived up to all the previous ones in a great way. This is a supernatural tale, mainly about love, obsession and power, where many lives are ruined through the actions of one spiteful, vengeful girl. Brid is a 6th century Druidess, learning the craft as an apprentice to her powerful Uncle, Broichan. Adam is a 14 year old boy from the 1930's, lonely and confused when his mother finally walks out on his puritanical father. At the

As always, elegantly crafted and written, atmospheric and evocative.

It was a long journey that revolves around the beyond-lustful-obsessed-psychopath-Druid-bitch over Adam fvcking Craig. And when I say it was a long journey, it was definitely a long journey! And my brain cells were drained to bits.

This was a good but not a great read. It was an interesting twist on the time travelling with our 6th century Druid Princess, so out of place in the 20th century that she spends much of her time locked up in an asylum. Rightly so because she is a psychopath! She is obsessed with Adam, a medical student, then alcoholic Doctor, from the mid 20th century who is such a jerk she must be crazy. The book takes a long time to get to a conclusion and I am not sure if it does. Despite the length of the

This is the first Barbara Erskine book that I've read & I'm now a fan. I couldn't put it down
