The very first book I had read from Susanna Kearsley was The Rose Garden. That book sparked my fascination with Kearsley. If I see her name on the books, I instantly add it to my to read section. I am always enthralled by the worlds she creates and the characters she brings to life.

Mariana is about a character named Julia Beckett who begins to have dreams about a world from the past. Julia soon realizes that history isn't always kept in the past, and that some people were waiting there for her all along.… (more)

Surprisingly good. Kept my interest all through. Two parallel stories: an author comes to the Aberdeen area and writes a novel about the 18th century and a Jacobite rebellion, which more or less "writes itself." She is told this is "genetic memory." The characters in her novel are from her own family's past but with her writing in her current love interest as her heroine's--a family ancestor.
Fact and fiction blur with amazing coincidences in plots.
