Jamie Elliott arrives on St. Lucia, an island in the Caribbean, with her husband, Paul, who has taken a job there. Adjusting to island life is not hard for Jamie, in fact, she feels connected to the island and fits right in. Becoming fast friends with Paul's co-worker's wife, she explores the culture with Barbara, and finds a confidant in her. One she will need to help her cope with what lies in store for her.
Jamie deals with her cheating and violent husband, the death of her mother and dreams that keep her from peaceful sleep. Her haunting dreams are much like ones she had as a child. But now they may be the key to a 200-year-old secret, as are the child's cross necklace and a Psalter that her mother left for her. Meeting Andre Demontagne also haunts her mind. Andre is the heir of a powerful island family, but more than that, he seems somehow familiar to Jamie. Perhaps they have met somewhere, some lifetime, before.
This intricately plotted story is romantic, mysterious and entrancing. Island traditions and life add colorful aspects to the tale. Synchronistic events with soul mate and kindred spirit connotations create an air of mysticism and wonder that will not soon be forgotten. I loved reading this book and did not want it to end. Thankfully, the authors, Mala and Roger Burt, writing under the pen name Annie Rogers, are working on their second novel, which will be a continuation of the book's family saga. I eagerly anticipate their work. This book is highly recommended to anyone with a hint of romance in their blood and those who believe that fate has a hand in our lives.

This book is a real page turner! I was interested from the begining to see what would unfold for Jamie, and all the colorful characters she encounters, with the exotic backdrop of the Caribbean. Looking forward to the continuation of the saga.
A Dream Across Time
Rating:
5 / 5
A "well plotted mystery" does sum up the book correctly.
A good read!
It is obvious that the authors have a first hand knowledge of "island" life as they took romantic tryst "off island".
Looking forward to continuation of this family saga - how soon?
