Product Description
Dierdre MacCallum is summoned to her great-grandmum Bridget's house to settle her affairs. She opens the sun room's french doors to the sunlight-- and finds a doorway to the past, seventy-two years ago.

There she will meet great-grandmum as a young lady. She will find love with a man destined to die before she was born. And she will find danger as she uncovers Bridget's secret--her involvement with the infamous Alistair Crowley, whose dabblings in the dark powers promise destruction for the MacCallum clan.

Now Dierdre must set things right, and rescue both her family, and her one true love...

4.0 out of 5 stars A real "fun read" for anyone interested in the magickal arts, August 15, 1999
By A Customer
This book provides a fictitious account of one brief period in the life of the notorious Aleister Crowley. His followers loved him, others despised him and many feared him and his strange magickal rituals. What possible effect could a ritual performed many, many years ago by Aleister Crowley and Dierdre MacCallum's grandmother, Bridget, have on the present day?

Dierdre learns the truth from her dying grandmother and must try to set things right and thus preserve her family history and save her true love.

An interesting cast of characters.

I think anyone with an interest in the occult will find this novel very hard to put down until you have finished it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book really stays with you long after you've read it!, July 23, 1998
By A Customer
I found the storyline incredibly fascinating and fresh. Time travel has of course been written about but not in this manner. You really felt like you have become one the characters. The concept of a door in Grandmum's house, made during the 1920's is great. It makes you realize that people in the first part of this century were just as naughty as today! This book has little bit of everything in it - magick, romance, intrigue and suspense. I loved it! The book has also opened a real door through time, for now I want to read Aleister Crowley's books as well! Wonderful book, please write many more!

5.0 out of 5 stars couldn't put it down!, July 31, 2000
By Dr. Zoidberg (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This book is unlike any other book I have ever read! It tells the story of a woman, who inherits her great grandmother's appartment, and finds out there is a door in there which leads 72 years into the past. Contrary to other time travel books, the travel itself isn't what the book focuses on - the "technical" aspects of time travel. Neither does it focus on historial facts (like other time travel books). Instead, it focuses on some historical figures, such as the famous Aleister Crowley, and on magick ("real" magic). Overall, this is a fantasy novel, with a lot of romance in it, but written in a very unique manner. I simply could not put it down! I recommend it to anyone who has an interest (or at least, isn't upset) by reading about magical rituals, likes time travel books - and has a romantic heart ;-)
