Another Shore

So hard to find this book! I finally was able to read it via Archive.org after having it on my to-read list for 7 years. Glad that I read it. It was quite enjoyable, and I like that there is some discussion of things that I always wonder about with time-travel, like how to deal with normal bodily needs. I mean, one of the first things Lyn does is have to find a bathroom! And Lyn is a very likeable heroine and quite practical. Quite refreshing in a lot of ways.

What I didn't like is that it just...ended. I didn't really feel ready for that ending, and I didn't really feel like I got resolution. Perhaps it's a sign that I had grown to like the characters, but I did find myself saying aloud, "Wait, that's the end?"

Well, glad I read it, anyway.

Well-written and interesting. There were far too many characters for me to keep track of, and on the whole it was too romantical for the likes of me. I found the historical aspects very interesting. I liked the indomitable old woman, and loathed the whiny Donald. I hated the ending with a fierce and fiery passion.

I read this book a few years ago at my local library, and after reading it I promptly forgot the title and author. I have spent the past few years trying to remember, since I remembered everything else about the book. This book has haunted my dreams with its compelling and refreshing story. I do not read many time-travel novels, but this book was definitely one of my favorites. The historical period the main character travels to is very detailed and interesting to read about--and the plot takes a few turns I did not expect it to. Though this book is relatively unknown, it is definitely a book worthy of a few hours of devotion. I wasn't looking for any deep meanings in this book, and I got a fun and highly enjoyable novel.
