Review by
Marlene Engel
As Emily
drove down the winding road, she spotted a house and was instantly drawn to
it. Although there was no “For Sale”
sign on the yard, it didn’t appear as if anyone was living there. There was just something about that house
that made her feel like she was meant to have it. After some research, she found that the house
was indeed vacant. She was told by the
realtor that the owner didn’t have the house listed, but said if the right
buyer came along, someone who loved the house as much as his family did, then
thy would sell it.
After
purchasing the home, Emily found a box full of pictures in the attic. She loved how the house was decorated and was
hoping to find furnishings similar to the pictures as possible. To her delight, she came across an antique
shop that had many of the original furniture and décor from the house. Emily became quick friends with the shop owner,
Marsha. She learned that Marsha was very
close to the family who lived in that house.
She also found out that the house held a secret. In the library of the house, there was a
“window” that allows you to travel into the past. Emily stumbled upon this by accident. At first she didn’t know what was happening
and thought she was going crazy. When
she realized that she had traveled back in time, it intrigued her. She was able to meet the family who had lived
there before and formed a quick bond with them.
But when she finds herself falling for a man in the past, she’s wondering
if she say goodbye to the present day and live in the past with him.
Yesterday’s
Memories is unlike any book I’ve read.
Although it is a romance novel, it also has time travel in it as
well. I wasn’t sure how I’d respond to a
book of this genre, but found that I really liked it. I enjoyed seeing how the characters of the
present and past interact and the complexity of the romance that they
shared. Overall, I really enjoyed this
book. It will make you laugh and it will
make you cry, but overall it will have you believing in the magic of love.

I can't wait to hear what you thought of it. It's not the typical genre that I read, but I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it. Now I can't wait to see what the author writes about next!
DeleteThis sounds really good! I love the idea of time travel and the complexities of all that entails. I am looking forward to reading Yesterday's Memories.
