Caroline holds a deep secret. Living in 1727 and 1927 simultaneously, each night she goes to sleep in one life and wakes up in the other. In search of answers to her unique existence, Caroline stumbles upon a letter from her mother hinting at her own experiences as a time-crosser, sending Caroline on a daring quest to uncover the truth. In 1727, Caroline disguises herself as a cabin boy and joins a ship sailing for the Bahamas, her mother’s last known location, where she crosses paths with a ruthless but handsome pirate and is caught in a web of secrets, deception, and unexpected alliances.
In 1927 St. Paul, Minnesota, Caroline grapples with her other life as the daughter of a renowned preacher. Her two older brothers have fallen prey to the corruption rampant during Prohibition, and Caroline struggles to keep their involvement hidden to save her father’s career. As her search for answers about her time-crossing leads her to the dangerous yet exciting world of speakeasies, Caroline enlists the help of a childhood friend who is now a police officer. But with her family’s future at risk and their loyalties tested, Caroline faces a life-altering decision that could reshape her destiny.
My Thoughts on Across the Ages
Across the Ages is a wonderful twist on a dual-timeline novel that you are not going to want to miss! It will keep you reading til the end! One girl, living in both 1727 and 1927. How does this happen? She goes to sleep in one world and wakes in another and then goes back when she sleeps. No time is lost in either world and she’s never found anyone else that does this. No one believes her. They all think she’s crazy so she’s stopped telling anyone about it.
I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. It starts off and does not slow down until it’s over. You’ve got danger and suspense. You’ve got mystery and romance. And you’ve got it in two timelines!
Caroline is Caroline in both worlds but nothing else is the same.
In 1727 she is living with her grandfather. Her mother took her to him and left. He’d raised her mother as a single father as well so it’s nothing new to him. But why did her mother not stay? Her mother was 13 when she ran off and 14 when Caroline was born. After she left Caroline she ran off again and Caroline has never heard or seen from her. The night her grandfather arranges a marriage for her she finds a letter from her mother and runs off to find her.
And that’s how the adventure begins in 1727.
In 1927 we have Caroline as the daughter of a pastor. It’s quite a different world! She’s got electricity and automobiles and indoor plumbing! But she also has brothers living the opposite of what their father teaches. Caroline wants to help everyone and keep things how they were.
But what happens when her worlds both take unexpected turns? How is the going to manage? Can she find her mother? And is she in one world or both?
This read so quickly! I absolutely adored it! I want to have another that spins off this and follows Lydia. You’ll learn all about her when you read the novel.
