What others are saying about 'A Ripple in Time' This is a great story that combines a time travel adventure with romance and Celtic mythology. A key historic event is prevented and the change causes a catalyst that changes the world. I really liked the alternative reality and the merging in one place of people from different centuries. The characters were engaging and the pace was just right.
*****
Ms. Hughes has a gift for melding fantasy with reality. Taking one of the most famous events in history, Julia Hughes offers a glimpse as to what might have happened had the Titanic never sank. For every action, there must be a consequence. That is the heart of the story. How will Wren's choices affect him and those around him? Will he be willing to make the sacrifice needed? Great philosophical ideas presented in a great story.
***** I found myself captivated by the story. The characters develop well throughout and the way they interact is plausible and heart warming. The book itself is well written and thought provoking, leaving the reader guessing as to what will happen next. The action and history elements of this story stop it from being a romantic novel, meaning so many more readers will enjoy the content.
About A Ripple in Time:
'A Ripple in Time' centres around the legend of Excalibur and imagines the mysterious Stonehenge as a portal in time. Virgin blood and virginity are highly prized in the old tales, though as Celtic Cousin Wren comments: 'why does it always have to be virgin's blood ... what's the difference?' maybe for its pureness? Who knows. But when you're dealing in magical artifacts and attempting to turn back time, it's best not to take risks.
