Check out my new review for Long Lost by Page Bookshelf Central.....

Emily Case is a lonely woman. No family, few friends, job she hates and is single. Life is one long struggle for her. 

Then one morning she wakes up two hundred years in the past and her whole world is turned upside down, as she is faced with a new era she knows nothing about. However, she soon becomes attached to her new lifestyle and the people in it. 

On meeting William Chester, owner of the Westfield Estate, Emily quickly falls for him, and believes he feels the same, until she is threatened by a rival for his affections. 

But when she realises this life is all she's ever wanted she is torn away from it and back to her life two hundred years into the future. 

Not willing to accept that the twenty-first-century is where her destiny lies she endeavours to seek out the truth of the life she led in the nineteenth-century. 

What will she discover on her journey? Was it reality or all just a dream?






A story of Emily which is quite a lonely person, with no family ager the loss of her adoptive parents, no friends and being an only child. She hates her job and the rest of her life isn't that great either. However Emily wakes one morning in the 19th Century.


For someone who has gone back 200 years, i felt the character dealt with it just a tad too well. I feel she should of been more of a techno phobe as well as not liking people. Her use of old language was too sudden and she didn't get caught out using 21st century vocal.  Having said that, the book is written in the style of the Bronte's, Charles Darwin and Jane Austen, which gives the story more credibility and flows well. The use of descriptions is totally in per with 19th century  and the style of writing from then, but doesn't change when in 2012.


I did love this book and can't wait for the next book in the series. I do feel that people who like descriptive books will love every single page of this book.
