"Historical time-travel: life in 1600, 2000, and 2400."
Katrina Lunne, a modern day physician in London, has an
accidental run-in with a time traveler from the year 2400.
She winds up in the year 1600, and he has to rescue her
before she changes history or gets burned as a witch.
Aidan, the time traveler from the future, was visiting
London in the year 2000 to recover art work about to be
lost in a fire. Katrina's dog knocks Aidan down in the park
at a crucial instant, when he is about to be "beamed" back
to his time; and she and her pet get bumped back 400 years,
while he travels forward. Not what I expected. I was looking for something more along
the lines of a time travel romance similar to those by
K.M. Moning. Instead, I got a history lesson. Not much
romance or sex, and lots of detail about living conditions
in the 1600's. A bit heavy for me due to the history. But
if you are a history buff, then this might be your cup of
tea. I think the author was probably very factual about the
lives of people in the 1600's, and how a woman from the
20th century would not fit in. While well-written from an historical viewpoint and with
well-developed characters and storyline, I have never been
fond of books about this particular period in time.
