It's the year 2010 and Pam and her best friend and roommate Robin are currently sharing Pam's house that had belonged to her family. Robin and Pam are quite different, one might say chalk and cheese. Robin is twenty six, an older university student and is a lesbian. She loves playing games on the internet. Pam is the same age, in to meditation and mystical things and is straight.

In the year 1910, Margaret lives at home with her parents and is about to become engaged to Jasper. A man she likes and respects but does not love. On the day that Jasper is proposing, Margaret and Jasper suddenly find themselves facing a strange woman, Pam and the year is 2010.

Pam had been reading a rhyme from a book she had picked up earlier titled Magical Moon Rhymes For All Times, when two strangers appeared from no where in front of her.

What does this mean? Are Margaret and Jasper stuck in 2010?

When Robin appears in answer to Pam's frantic calls, the four people try to make sense of what has occurred. When it becomes apparent that Margaret and Jasper have travelled through time, Pam has to find a way to get them back to 1910. They find out that they have to wait a month until the next lunar cycle for the rhyme to work.
During this month, Pam and Jasper fall in love. Unknown to them at the time, Robin and Margaret have also fallen in love. How can each couple bear to be parted? But they know they must. Heart breaking as it is, they dare not try to alter time.

This is a lovely well written book of timeless forbidden love. The story goes between 1910 and 2010 with ease and is set in Canada. The four characters interact really well together after they got to know each other and to learn to trust.
This is the first book in a series and has got off to an excellent start. Once started I couldn't turn the pages fast enough. I can't wait to see which path Sarah is going to have these characters follow. I hope the sequel isn't too long in being published.

Threaded through Time is a wonderful story of romance against nearly impossible odds. It is a dual tale of two couples separated not by distance but by time. The characters were vivid and wonderfully written and it was delightful to see how they evolved and came together in the story.

"Threaded through Time" has a planned sequel, which I very much look forward to reading. Sarah Ettritch has proven herself again as a wonderful author whose books can easily capture your heart.


Sarah also has several other wonderful novels available:

"The Salbine Sisters" ~ Available on the Kindle Book store

"The Rymellan Series" - Books 1 & 2" ~ Available on the Kindle Book store.

"The Rymellan Series" - Book 3 is available on her website as a work in progress with quarterly installments.

With Threaded through Time Sarah has gifted us with another marvellous fantasy. This is set in modern times and 1910. The story is very entertaining, told very smoothly and although a sequel is planned the story doesn't leave us with a cliff-hanger. I loved the characters and the clash of times / mores and it was fun to have the story set in Canada too. I look forward to reading the sequel!
BTW: editing and ebook-formatting were examplary.

A clever contribution to time-travel romance. The neat thing about this book is that it shows the reaction of people from the past to the present, and vice versa. While a romance at its heart, it also provides interesting, sometimes funny, poignant commentary on how someone from the past would react to our time - both positively and negatively. There are hetero and homosexual characters. The book does great credit to both. It brings together the ideas that we're all members of the same human family, with the ability to dream and the need to pursue our own happiness. Well done, Sarah!

Time travel. My kind of book!

I started this book yesterday and couldn't stop until I finished sometime in the wee hours of the morning. Then I wanted to know what happened to the characters next so I ordered the sequel from my Kindle right then and there. It was less wee-er when I finally pulled myself from the story and forced myself to sleep.

This was a study in fiction of the herstory of women over the last 100 years. There is a male who grows; there's hope. All of the characters seem real flawed but unique.

The best of the story is the threads one must always try to follow in time, full of 'what if's and the wondering, what would I do in this case? What will happen if they try to change time... or even if it could work for them at all.

My questions have only multiplied so I need to go read Book Two. I think anyone would like this book, but important for womyn to read.

A time travel story that takes place in 2010 in Canada, and in 1910. Two longtime friends, Pam, who is straight, and Robin, who is a lesbian, share Pam's home. Pam is into the occult and one night reads a spell from an old book that move a newly engaged couple from 1910 into the future to the room Pam is in. Margaret and Jasper are the two visitors from the past. Margaret does not love Jasper, but there was not much choice for a woman living in 1910 but to marry. Pam tries to send the two back in time by reading the spell, but it with no success. She has to wait until the moon is in the same phase, which is a month, to send them back. During this wait, Pam and Jasper fall in love. Margaret and Robin also fall in love. If the spell is successful, will the lovers be separated by time forever?
An OK story. I did not find this story as absorbing as the author's Rymellan series. Some of the actions, and reactions, of the two protagonists from the past did not ring true for me. I purchased this story thinking the main focus would be on the lesbian couple, but slightly more focus, in my opinion, was on the straight couple. I found the straight couple the more interesting couple. This story was of short length. It did hold my interest. I will purchase the sequel because the story did leave me wanting to know what happens next. The cover is nice.
