Editorial Reviews

Review

My recommendation of the book Hide in Time:When I think about it carefully, I know there were several reasons why I really liked this book and why I would highly recommend it to anyone.First, it shows us that we can completely change the course of our own lives when needed and find happiness in a new place. It might take some time to readjust, but we can survive and adapt to new surroundings and people. Second, it highlights how people are basically the same today as they were hundreds of years ago. Evil still abounds and good people still exist to maintain the balance that is our world.And, last but by no means least, I like the concept about time travel in "Hide in Time". You can't go back! Once you have crossed into a different place in time, you can't return and just pick up where you left off. Yes, Laura returns, but she cannot be seen. She can whisper to the living and they hear her, but they believe she is what most of us would think of as a "ghost". A truly fascinating exchange of lives. It was a very interesting twist to doppelgangers trading places and I really, really liked it a lot. So much so, I plan to read it again! I feel like I may have missed some hidden nuggets in the story.ExtractCynthia Sylvestermouse of Review This! (Reviews of Movies, Music, Books and More)

From the Author

Readers' Favourite 5 star review: In Hide in Time by Anna Faversham, Laura Yager is not who she seems, or rather,from where. Laura is shipwrecked in the 21st century--literally. Romance is on her side, despite the spurned fiancé she left behind in 1814. Matt Redfern is there for her from day one of her new life in the modern age. He never questions why she showed up when she did or how, but it's clear there is much more to it than meets the eye. Five years later, Xandra Radcliffe falls into Laura's life and falls out just as quickly, changing the dynamic forever. A writer and lover of the past, Xandra finds herself in a bit of trouble. After she helps stop a robbery, a gang puts a hit on her. There is nowhere left to run except back to 1814 and into the arms of Laura's ex-fiancé, Adam Leigh-Fox.

Looking for the classic dashing gentlemen, roguish highwaymen, damsels, and heroines? Look no further than Hide in Time by Anna Faversham. Hide in Time resonates with readers who feel out of time, who need a little fantasy in their lives to get through the day. Faversham's writing is clear and straightforward. No fluff required. Transitions are quick and painless as readers traverse from the Georgian to the modern eras. In addition to one woman traveling back, another travels forward. Both points of view add to the novel as a whole. Without one, you would not have a complete story. It s imperative that characters make a book, and Faversham's do just that. One woman's past is another woman's future. Everything comes together in one neat bundle. No one likes to have a story finish without closure!

I have lived most of my life in Kent, England but I’ve also lived in New Zealand and central Africa. Both had a lasting influence on my life. Africa dragged my love of writing to the surface. Living some forty miles from the nearest tarmac road and seventy from anything pretending to be a bookshop, I soon ran out of bedtime stories for the children. Scribbling began.

On returning to England, fiction had to take a back seat as real life took over, you know the sort of thing - a proper job to keep feeding the mortgage and the growing family, and chores, chores and more chores. But a love of writing finally erupted into regular tap-tapping. I've written and read for the BBC and published short stories.

Finally, a little more time was found, five novels and a book of short stories have been completed, and more are in the pipeline. I like to include interesting facts in my writing and it is often the case that fact is stranger than fiction, as you probably know. The first book to be published was Hide in Time, a time travel romance. The second book was inspired by the smugglers’ caves I visited as a child. The third is a sequel set in the ‘diamond isle’ – the Isle of Wight. The fourth sees a perfect life turn into a nightmare. In my latest book the character, hiding off grid, is surprised by strangers knocking on his door and it turns into worse than any nightmare you could ever imagine - or so I'm told.

And what do people say about the books?

“A clever mixture of suspense, romance and time travel” - Hide in Time

“Dark romantic mystery on a knife edge throughout” - One Dark Night

"The imagery—dream images, nightmare almost—packed such a punch. Some were things I’ve not seen done in fiction before, and it gave the story an ancient feel, as though it was anchored in something very primal, which was remarkable." - Immortality: This is Probably a Novel

Time portal with imaginative rules of passage; Laura noble in her actions

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

This was a solid 5 stars to me for several reasons.

The plot was well developed as were the characters. Aside from the well developed plot and characters, the imagination of the author in developing the "rules" of the time transfer was effective and added to the interest and intrigue of the developing tale. The writing was very good as the author knows how to use good grammar, word usage, and complete sentences. The style of writing provides an enhanced, smooth flow of the tale.

The primary character, Laura, at 18 years of age in 1814, was in love with and engaged to Adam, a man whom she thought was honorable to the highest degree. He had a brother, Jack, who gambled and squandered family assets so the estate was in danger of being forfeited. Their father seemed to be passive and uninterested in reining in Jack and left the affairs of management of the estate to Adam. Laura saw Adam doing something and made assumptions that she later found were not true, though it was after she had decided to leave Kent for America to start afresh, leaving behind the man she loved but thought she could no longer admire due to this secret, assumed inconsistency in his character. She did not get very far, for the ship wrecked and she was able to get away safely.

Chapter 1 moves to 2009, five years after Laura showed up on a beach after having been transferred through some type of time portal into the future. The story moves back and forth between the 1814 time and the current time to reveal things that were taking place in both times. The author created the time travel or transfer rules brilliantly. It was not a portal through which one could continuously travel back and forth with no consequences. I won't give away those "secrets" so new readers will have to discover them during the process.

The relationships between Laura and the people from her past and present grow more interesting as the tale proceeds. The development of romances is laced with intrigue as the reader discovers them unfold. In her past, there is Adam, whom she loves and of whom she has found out too late her assumptions were wrong. There is Xandra (Alexandra) from her present who is in danger because she thwarted a robbery and is now a target. Matt is the man who found her on the beach when she first moved through the portal into modern times and who has patiently helped her along the way. Somehow, he knows she must be genuine.

This is much deeper than just an "everyday" romance tale. Laura is faced with many choices and decisions, which she executes admirably. How deep is her love for Adam, especially after she finds she was wrong? What would she do for him now if she could? She can't go back to become his bride because of the time portal "rules". Will she sacrifice her painful desires to be with him to help give him another chance at true love? Will she "hide" Xandra in another time to save her, knowing there is no returning? Will she give Matt a chance? Does he know more than she thinks he does?

Laura is willing to make personal sacrifices to, in essence, atone for her misunderstandings and to protect her friends. She is noble. Maybe she will reap some benefits in the conclusion of the tale. (I'll never tell!)

I would recommend this book.

Cute twist on Time Travel

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2021

This is a great story that is half about the relationship between two women that start of as a matchmaker (Laura) and client (Xandra) that eventually develop a great friendship. The other half is about lost love and misunderstandings that ruined Laura’s relationship with a man she was deeply in love with. The story is set in England.

The story starts in modern times and chronicles Laura’s work as a match-maker agent that puts people together based on their personalities. She soon becomes good friends with one of her clients, Xandra. Xandra sometimes talks about how it would have been better to have been born earlier, as things were simpler and less complicated then. It turns out that Xandra is also quite good a Jitsu and has a few run ins with criminals.

The story explains how Laura was planning to marry, but believe that her husband to be was a liar and a philanderer. She sailed on a ship to go to America in 1814, however, the ship is wrecked and Laura manages to get to shore. But when she gets here, she finds that it is almost 200 years in the future.

Much of the happenings I the story seem a little random, but I soon found out that Laura has some plans in mind. After meeting Xandra, who managed to get herself in the crosshairs of a criminal organization, she thinks of having Xandra take her place back in 1814 where she left her old life.

Turns out that she found out how to travel back to almost the exact time, but nobody can see her. It appears that you can only travel in time once, returning makes it so that you pretty much a ghost.

The story is fairly light and most everyone in Laura’s circle is kind and understanding. There is only one person that knows Laura is from the past, Matt, who happens to live in the same house that Laura grew up on 200 years earlier.

I enjoyed the story and was always interested to find out what was going to happen next. There are a couple of things that threw me though. In a flashback, when Laura came on shore after the shipwreck, Matt was there and took pity on her. A guy that happens to live in her old house? There is also no explanation about how Laura finds out how to travel back to her old time. I’m thinking that may have been in a chapter that hit the editing room floor?

Even so, I would read more stories by the author, as I liked the way the story is written and how she made me care about the characters.

An Okay novel

Not as good as I had hoped. The beginning was very confusing. It would have been nice to have the cast of characters at the front of the book. This might have helped. I did not like hearing the Rothschild name in the book.

Both women must carve out a life and find both peace and true love as they Hide in Time

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2017

Verified Purchase

A steamy cup of tea, lemon pound cake and Anna Faversham's Hide in Time is all you need for a cold winter's evening.
Laura Yager is not what she seems. Owner of a match-making service, she unites lost souls. She finds a kindred spirit in Xandra Radcliff. Neither of them quite fit in their lives and Laura's story is peeled back with tantalizing slowness revealing she is adjusting to life 200 years after the time she was born into.
Xandra is the target of criminals and feels uncomfortable in the twenty-first century. She yearns for the simpler golden age of the Regency when manners and men were different.
Laura sends Xandra back in time and interestingly enough is able to visit and check on her although she remains invisible. Both women must carve out a life and find both peace and true love as they Hide in Time.
Charming, sweet, a fun read, Faversham manages to keep the reader turning the pages jumping from one century to the next as the character encounter problems. The biggest, their faulty memory as they adjust to find both love and happiness.

Hiding or trapped in time, the clock's ticking ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2013

I enjoy time travel, always have. I love the way each writer works out the conundrum of moving between times, so inventive, yet made to seem plausible. There is sometime about intangible passage of time that has inspired writers for so long. (I have even published one short effort myself, which should by any standard remain hidden in time and space!) One of my favourite time stories is Heinlein's "Door into Summer", which I have reread continuously since boyhood. The story line for "Hide in Time" was intriguing from the outset and the author gave us four strong characters to get involved with and care about where they were heading in the story. Even the supporting characters were well-drawn and added more interest and emphasis rather than watered down the twin story-lines. I enjoyed the method of time travel used, its isolation and the problems that in itself caused at each end. The loss of memory made sense and the invisibility, coupled with ghostly temperature drop, was amusing as well as providing a threat. I loved the concept that you could only exist once in each time; Laura could visit as a ghost, but never go back. And there was danger in the process too. Tying in a few fixed events in time and the benefits of hindsight, added to the enjoyment. Even at the nail-biting end of each timeline, timing was crucial to the outcome. This was throughly good read from start to finish, interesting, adventurous, dangerous and romantic; there's something here for every reader. The cover design is quite brilliant. Found a couple of literals, which didn't detract from the enjoyment of the book, which was very well written indeed, giving a vibrant sense of each time frame. I had a little problem wondering how Laura initially found the route back to Regency Kent, with the memory loss involved (perhaps I missed the point somewhere and will pick it up when I reread, and I know I will, one wet winter weekend). Also I had some trouble understanding the time lapse from the first visit to the 19th century timeline to Laura's next series of visits, five years later, which seemed to follow in sequence just a matter of days after the first visit. I only half wondered what happened to Xandra's jewellery heist mastermind. However, these tiny little blips hardly matter within the whole, this is a fantasy after all, and a very enjoyable one it was, too. This book is a real page turner throughout, which I will keep in my virtual library, and thoroughly recommend it for sci-fi and historical romance readers alike.

Very interesting time travel romance story.

If you knew how to time travel, have stumped upon it, what would you do? Pick up Hide in Time and find out. Be surprise by where Anna Faversham’s imagination and writing skills will take you. I love all the details of living in the 1800’s, so perfectly described.

Cleverly imagined

Intriguing start here with a dating agent finding she has more and more in common with one of her clients – and we grow to wonder if perhaps one final thing they have in common is that they were both born in a different time. Eventually the plot unfolds into a kind of time-swap romantic adventure, cleverly imagined and ultimately satisfying, with touches of humour that are very sweet.

I found it a slow start but soon got into it. I loved the time travel. I always enjoy historical fiction and the backwards and forwards between the two worlds worked well. I liked the characters and enjoyed following Alexandra and Laura's journey's. It was a very good read.

Easy-reading romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 7, 2013

Verified Purchase

Loved this. Not normally my genre but was soon drawn in to the tale of Laura, a castaway from the early 1800s, who discovers a slit in time and travels to the modern era. It's a time-travel romance featuring two friends and the men they are attracted to.

Ms Faversham writes well, with a pace that keeps you turning the pages as Laura's new life unfolds. When a friend, Xandra, takes on a gang of robbers and one of them comes after her, Laura decides to hide her in 1815, shortly before the battle of Waterloo.

Travelling between the two eras comes at a cost, and Laura must both make sure that Xandra has arrived safely and put right a wrong she committed, and which cost her the man she loved, in her previous life.

This is a good easy-reading romance and I enjoyed it very much.
