Hands down my favorite author. This book creeps up on you. I have it in paper and on audio. It's a steady pace, but I kid you not when I say you won't be steady inside by the end. Rips your heart out and then sews it back together. Love this book. I love this author period. I would have to say The Winter Sea is my favorite, but I loved this book, Firebird, Desperate Fortune, Named of the Dragon, and The Rose Garden are all amazing both in print and on audio. Winter Sea is amazing on Audio. If you don't get any other ones on Audio, get that one. I won't give any spoilers away for Mariana. All I can say is that no one does a other worldly/supernatural element and transitioning between to timelines like Kearsley. It's flawless and you don't doubt the validity of what is happening in the story. Her sense of place is exquisitely written. The location being it's own character in the story. She's a writer's writer, sweeping you away with her storytelling.

Mariana Susanna Kearsley 9780553573763 Books Reviews

Slow start, but once the players were set, it was hard to put down. I normally do not like books with time travel , mostly because you can get confused. This author handle this beautifully.. Characters are solid, descriptions of places in the book were wonderful.

I will read more of her books. Enjoy and share.
There was nothing I didn’t like. Since I found Kearsley’s novels, I’ve read most of them. Mariana is exceptional in her building of characters- especially Julia, Frieda, Richard- oh- all of them! The sleepy village that hosts Julia’s newly-purchased Elizabethan farmhouse is a disguise for a formidable story! Julia slowly slides into another century, beginning by her leaving a splendid dinner party ( she was bored) and turning a corner into a 300-year-old plague-ridden London. The character shifts between these two centuries that include a cozy Red Lion Inn, enjoyably eccentric locals to a beautifully restored Crofton Hall complete with the cavalier Richard de Morney. There are side plots as well. I was totally emerged with the twists of the plot line. And the ending!!! What??? I must have read the last chapters a few times. I highly recommend this novel, but they are all brilliant!
I love the way Susanna Kearsley writes. She is very descriptive and brings her stories to life. I loved this book. It was beautifully written.
Now the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I feel like the story needed at least two more chapters. The ending just seemed rushed and unfinished. I need more than one page after Julia discovers the truth and I want to know more about the ending of some other characters. *Sigh*
I love the Winter Sea. Read that book if you haven’t already. I believe it is Susanna’s best story.
This was my 2nd book by Susanna Kearsley. I am again rating it 4 instead of 5 stars because the beginning of the book was very slow and boring to me. The characters and their lives in both present and past seemed flat out boring to the point where I almost deleted the book. I am very glad that I continued because once the book picked up speed there was no stopping it and I was sorry when it ended. I also read the Rose Garden and have the same opinion of that book. If you can get through the first 1/3 of the book the last 2/3 will reward you for doing so. I would recommend these two books to anyone on the edge of decision...well worth the money. If you decide to download a sample you will probably not buy it and would miss out on a great read.
Mariana is one of my favorite Kearsley books along with Winter Sea and The Rose Garden. I hated to put it down to deal with my real life such as eating and sleeping.

Like Kearsley's other books, this story has a paranormal side to it along with historical fiction, mystery and romance. Julia, a thirty-something woman, has been drawn to a centuries old farmhouse since she was a child. When she sees it is for sale, she buys it on an impulse. After she moves in, strange things begin to happen.

I enjoyed the paranormal twists and turns, but I also liked reading about the small town and the people who populated it, both in the present and the past. The story did not end the way I had anticipated and that too added to my enjoyment.
I'll start off with the good things. Kearsley has a great talent for characters, and I always love hers. You really get to know the personality of the characters, as if they were real people. She's also quite good at settings and describing places in a way that you fee like you're there. Overall, until the very end, I liked Mariana. It had the depth of plot and emotion that I've come to expect from her other books.

All that said, the reason it only gets a 3 from me is that it starts out very slowly, and the ending is terrible. And it's not that it couldn't have been good...I don't object to it for what it is (trying to be specific without spoiling anything). It's that there was absolutely no set-up for it. I even went back and re-skimmed the book to make sure I hadn't missed any clues or build-up. But there wasn't. So, by the end of the book, I have very little emotional connection to the way it turned out, except for just trying to convince myself that if that's the way it worked out in the end, the everyone would be happy.

Also, having the first person for both the Julia and Mariana parts was a bit confusing, and even when I figured out the reason Kearsley was doing it, it still made it a bit difficult to track the plot and which time period things were happening in. Even if you argued that the reader is supposed to feel confused like Julia, it's a poor tactic, and it always just made me skip ahead a bit to figure out where I was.

Overall, this wasn't one of my favorites, which is too bad, because it was about 80% there.
Hands down my favorite author. This book creeps up on you. I have it in paper and on audio. It's a steady pace, but I kid you not when I say you won't be steady inside by the end. Rips your heart out and then sews it back together. Love this book. I love this author period.
