Timeslip books

I do enjoy a timeslip novel. I've read some by Barbara Erskine. I will look out for the authors you have mentioned.

The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier is a time slip one

Thankyou NanKate for these, this is one of my favourite genres! Love the way Kate Moreton can weave threads of different times together too. Library tomorrow, I'll look up your KA and IS!

I like the time slip books as well. Barbara Erskine and of course Diana Gabaldon.

I also think Kate Moreton is very good at setting her books in two time frames, I've loved some of hers, particularly in the way she links two eras often years apart. I was a bit disappointed in her last one though.

One of my favourite books in that mode is Asta's Book by Barbara Vine who also wrote under the pen name of Ruth Rendell.

Enjoy reading both timeslip and dual timeline books. Like most of Barbara Erskine novels, except for the one with the triple era, with Vikings, and featuring the same river.
Yes, to the early Diane Gabaldon ones. Got stuck in number 4 or 5. Couldn't remember who was whom.

Yes to the House on the Strand and thanks GNs for the other suggestions.

I know how that feels with the Outlander books Maremia I always re read the previous one before starting a new one. One of the few authors I read more than once.

that is a new one on me could someone please explain what they are

I searched last Christmas for a good timeslip book for my husband but I wanted timeslip stories not fiction. He has the whole set of Tom Slemen Haunted Liverpool books which contain quite a few timeslip stories but I am yet to find another good one.

labazs happy to explain timeslip books.

The series I am reading at present Wonderland by Irana Shapiro is fabulous. To give you a feel for what timeslip is the main character Neve is in the present time. She works for a film company and has gone to set things up for a period film at an old Manor House open to the National Trust.

She is mesmerised by a certain painting of an ancestor who lived in the Manor in the 17th century. Whilst there she visits the nearby church in the grounds and is drawn to the crypt which she explores. She finds a door which she enters and finds herself in the same place but a few centuries back. That is where all her adventures start.

I won’t tell you any more but it is a rollercoaster of adventures, betrayal, love, family all based on real history of the time.

I’m on book 4 and don’t want it to finish.

Thanks for the other suggestions which I will follow up.

Another vote for The house on the Strand, a brilliant book.

they sound a really good read thank you NanKate for the explanation on my list to read!

Frozen People by Elly Griffiths is very good.

yep...another vote for Barbara Erskine. I expect I've read all of hers.

Elly Griffiths who writes the brilliant Ruth Galloway series of archeological murder mysteries has just released a time travelling murder mystery The Frozen People which I can highly recommend . I couldn't put it down . She is an excellent writer .

You might enjoy Miss Garnett's Angels , which is based in Venice. You could read it, straight through, or you could read it as two differing stories. I found it well written, and by someone who knows the area. Venice used to be my call in place , wherever I had been in Europe. I won't say more so as not to spoil it for others. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks everyone, I’ll be looking up some of these for my Christmas list. My favourite time slip book is Legend, by Jude Deveraux.

Her wedding fast approaching, celebrated chef Kady Long knew she was the luckiest woman alive...until she slipped into a delicate satin wedding dress she found in an antique flour tin, and was overcome by an odd dizzy spell. When she came to, Kady was in the dusty western town of Legend, Colorado . . .

I didn't know that about Elly Griffiths. Thought I had read most of her book. Thanks Allira.

I love Diana Gabaldon's 'Outlander' series too but I often think she could cut them down a few hundred pages instead of the huge doorstops she puts out and maybe we won't wait 5 years or more for each one.
Yes Maremia I forget who's who too

Interested in Miss Garnett's Angels, as my daughter is visiting Venice next year. Is it an easy read, as in nothing too traumatic?

And your name suits the series sassenach

My typo apologies, alita, and thanks also to Gillysugar

I've just finished The forgotten letters of Esther Durrant by Kayte Nunn, time periods 1951 and 2018.
