Book description
A brilliant collection of haunting tales, from the Sunday Times
bestselling author of Lady of Hay.
Sands of Time features two intriguing long stories that pick up the
fortunes of characters from Whispers in the Sand, Barbara Erskine's
captivating Egyptian novel. Still haunted by ancient mysteries, and the
subject of dark intentions, Anna and Louisa must once more do battle
with the past in order to survive the present.
Here, too, are a host of other tales, all with a touch of the
unexpected…A happily married woman has an affair - with a man who died
in the First World War…Who is the little girl on the swing in the garden
- and why does only Charlotte see her?
And how can a traveller find herself transported suddenly from her
airplane seat to the snowy Canadian wastes below?
Suspense, romance, passion, unexpected echoes of the past - vintage
Barbara Erskine, and storytelling at its most compelling. 'Her forte
is mood, atmosphere and the toe-curling frisson.' Sunday Times
