Two Penny Blue by L.K. Jay
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This shortish story deserves every one of the five stars I've awarded. First the format & grammar are impeccable which isn't always easy to get right when you're editing your own work. The story entertained and informed, and the characters engaged immediately - something that's vital in a short story! The story deals with two very different women from different centuries who meet by chance in the same house. Both women have serious potentially life changing problems to deal with. I particually enjoyed the Victorian's point of view as she grappled with the wonders of 21st century life. The author manages to add a touch of humour in a couple of places without deviating from the main issues. I can't give too much away obviously, but I throughly enjoyed this story and it left me with a feeling of satisfication and a slight prickling behind the eyes. I look forward to reading more from this author and recommend this little miniature gem whole heartedly.(less)
