A story of passion

Le Temps Viendra:

Ann is a young, 21st century woman in the midst of a life-long love affair with the 16th Century and the enigmatic Anne Boleyn. Whilst indulging her secret passion on an exclusive ‘Anne Boleyn Connoisseurs’ Weekend’, she is taken seriously ill at Hever Castle. Falling into a deep state of unconsciousness, Ann becomes ensnared in a time portal that transports her back in time to England, 1527. She awakens to find herself in the body of her heroine, Anne Boleyn; at the time, a young woman on the brink of an historic love affair with the mighty King Henry VIII.

Ann finds herself at the centre of Henry’s world, yet increasingly vulnerable as the figurehead of the emerging and evermore powerful Boleyn faction. Whilst she learns what it is to walk in the footsteps of the woman who would change English history, Ann is also engulfed in mixed emotions; she is only too aware of how her relationship with Henry mirrors that of her 21st century relationship with Dan, her married lover.

Soon Ann begins to loose her own sense of identity as the boundaries between the two women begin to blur. As she is sucked back and forth between her two great loves and two increasingly fragile lives, Ann struggles to change her heroine’s terrible fate on the scaffold whilst trying to prevent her own modern day life hurtling inextricably toward disaster.

‘Le Temps Viendra: A Novel of Anne Boleyn’ is a timeless story of passion, ambition and betrayal; it is also an enduring story of an intense love forged between two souls who are bound together for all eternity.

Reviews

book review

‘I decided to have a little peek at the start of your book and could not stop reading! I have read it all and absolutely LOVED it!

I am desperate to read the rest of it so you will have to finish it quick smart!!

As you know, I am fascinated by the idea of time slips and the possibility of seeing the past and your story is a dream come true.

I love how you have woven fact and fiction so seamlessly. I was absolutely hooked from the beginning and wanted to read on to find out what happens.

I have really enjoyed your portrayal of the characters so far and can't wait to meet George.

Sarah, this is original and brilliant!’
