I want to read this book again, but I cannot remember the title or author. I think it was “A mirror in time”, but when I google it, it is not the right novel.
I read the book when I was 15 and it’s about love, time travel & ressurection. It starts with a woman sitting in her sitting room in an old tower with her young toddler, she has just told her husband that they are expecting. As she sits there she smells smoke & the tower is soon engulved in flames. The husband arrives too late to save her, but in time to catch the toddler she shoved out the window. He watches as she dies in the fire.
Flash forward to the 20th century to a woman who has an irrational fear of fire & one night she’s inexplicably drawn to visit an old english estate. While wandering the grounds of this estate at night she sees this old pile of rubble, that is what remains of the old, burnt down tower, freaks out and bolts out into the road. She’s struck by a car & blacks out. She awakes back in time, in some other woman’s body. This woman is the second wife to the husband describe earlier who lost his first wife.
Meanwhile her 20th century self is in a coma. Later she discovers that she was this woman in the tower that burnt to the ground & that the husband she lost as the 1st woman, is the husband to the woman she awoke as. The story winds & twists around her & this guy back in the 2oth century, who’s going to a hypnotherapist about these dreams he has. Turns out he’s the husband & the hypnotherapist is the cousin who killed the 1st wife & attempted to kill the 2nd wife too.
One of the main female character’s name is Jessica, one is Elizabeth (I think) the other I cannot remember.
