Relation Supposing Books The Mirror
On the eve of wedding in 1978, Shay Garrett peers into the antique mirror in her family's longtime home, the famous Victorian Gingerbread House on Pearl Street in Boulder, Colorado, and falls unconscious only to wake in the body of her own grandmother Brandy on the eve of her wedding—in 1900. The virginal Brandy, in turn, awakes in Shay's body to discover herself pregnant. What follows is a fascinating look at how two women—and their families—cope with this strange situation.Define Books Toward The Mirror

This is my favorite time travel book from over 50 plus years of compulsive reading. And time travel in any genre is in my top three of preference scenarios. Along with immigrant stories and travelogue.Perhaps this one actually combines all three?Everytime I floss my teeth I think of this book.So many books written today that are classified historical fiction are, even when excellent, in some or most part of detail or thought patterns, revisionist to a 21st century value or agenda.

But that's not fault of the book's, only mine.The story weaves the lives of Shay and Brandy, the first being the latter's granddaughter. A mysterious mirrors switches their minds in time, forcing
Will be re-reading this one soon for NetGalley.I have good memories of it, which is why I requested it for review.I wonder if my opinion of it will change after 33 years?I'll let you know...
This is probably one of the best books to me that I've read. I loved it. Time travel done the best ever. History and love but not overly mushy.
I want you to think about the next time you see your grandmother how it would be if you would wake up in her body when she was young and then have to marry your own grandfather and give birth to your mother. That's sounds quite insane I know, but that is what happened to Shay Garrett in this book. She wakes up in the year 1900, in her grandmother Brandy McCabe's body.This book cured me of any romantic notion about time-travel. I don't know what's worse going back in time having to live your
