Timeslip books

Another vote for The house on the Strand, a brilliant book.

labazs happy to explain timeslip books.

The series I am reading at present Wonderland by Irana Shapiro is fabulous. To give you a feel for what timeslip is the main character Neve is in the present time. She works for a film company and has gone to set things up for a period film at an old Manor House open to the National Trust.

She is mesmerised by a certain painting of an ancestor who lived in the Manor in the 17th century. Whilst there she visits the nearby church in the grounds and is drawn to the crypt which she explores. She finds a door which she enters and finds herself in the same place but a few centuries back. That is where all her adventures start.

I won’t tell you any more but it is a rollercoaster of adventures, betrayal, love, family all based on real history of the time.

I’m on book 4 and don’t want it to finish.

Thanks for the other suggestions which I will follow up.

I searched last Christmas for a good timeslip book for my husband but I wanted timeslip stories not fiction. He has the whole set of Tom Slemen Haunted Liverpool books which contain quite a few timeslip stories but I am yet to find another good one.

that is a new one on me could someone please explain what they are

I know how that feels with the Outlander books Maremia I always re read the previous one before starting a new one. One of the few authors I read more than once.

Yes to the House on the Strand and thanks GNs for the other suggestions.

Enjoy reading both timeslip and dual timeline books. Like most of Barbara Erskine novels, except for the one with the triple era, with Vikings, and featuring the same river.
Yes, to the early Diane Gabaldon ones. Got stuck in number 4 or 5. Couldn't remember who was whom.

I also think Kate Moreton is very good at setting her books in two time frames, I've loved some of hers, particularly in the way she links two eras often years apart. I was a bit disappointed in her last one though.

One of my favourite books in that mode is Asta's Book by Barbara Vine who also wrote under the pen name of Ruth Rendell.

I like the time slip books as well. Barbara Erskine and of course Diana Gabaldon.

Thankyou NanKate for these, this is one of my favourite genres! Love the way Kate Moreton can weave threads of different times together too. Library tomorrow, I'll look up your KA and IS!

The House on the Strand by Daphne du Maurier is a time slip one

I do enjoy a timeslip novel. I've read some by Barbara Erskine. I will look out for the authors you have mentioned.
