RIVER OF DESTINYby Barbara Erskine
Set on the banks of the river Deben in Suffolk, River of Destiny will take you to three different eras. You'll be plunged into the Ango-Saxon/Viking world of 865AD, find yourself next in 1865 Victorian times in Suffolk, before surfacing in present day Suffolk.
Ken and Zoe, the present day characters, have moved from London to a barn conversion in Suffolk on the banks of the river Deben, where sailing is so accessible. The barn that Ken and Zoe move into is one of three barn conversions that in Victorian times, were part of a manor house's home farm. A place where Dan and his wife Susan lived as servants. And where, one thousand years before that, Eric and Edith lived in an Anglo-Saxon village.
Through the eons of time, connections are felt and seen. The mist over the river, the ghost Viking ship, the sound of horses in the barn. If you enjoy a bit of spookiness, mystery, romance, history and crime, I'm sure you'll enjoy River of Destiny.
