| Zusammenfassung: | Recently divorced, Anna Coburn decides to cheer herself up by retracing a journey her great-grandmother, Louisa, a renowned artist, made in the mid-nineteenth century -- a Nile cruise from Luxor to the Valley of the Kings. Anna carries with her two of Louisa's possessions -- an ancient Egyptian scent bottle, and an illustrated diary of the original cruise that has lain unread for a hundred years. As she follows in Louisa's footsteps, Anna discovers in the diary a wonderful love story from the Victorian past, and the chilling, more distant secret of the little glass bottle. Meanwhile, two men from the tour party are showing a disturbing interest in these mementos, and developing an unfriendly rivalry for Anna's attention. And, most frightening of all, Anna finds herself the victim of a haunting, a spectral presence that grows in strength and threat as the dramatic stories from three different eras intertwine in a terrifying climax |

—The Bookseller
Recently divorced, Anna Fox decides to cheer herself up by retracing
a Nile cruise her great-great-grandmother, Louisa, made in the
^mid-nineteenth century. Anna carries with her two of Louisas
possessions—an ancient Egyptian scent bottle and an illustrated diary of the
original cruise, a diary that hasn’t been read in a hundred years.
As she follows in Louisas footsteps, Anna discovers in the diary a wonderful
love story from the Victorian past—and the chilling, more distant secret of
the little glass bottle. Meanwhile, two men on the cruise are developing an
unfriendly rivalry for Annas attention—and a disturbing interest in Louisas
things. Most frightening of all, Anna finds herself the victim of a threat that
grows in strength and darkness as the dramatic stories from three different eras
intertwine along the mysterious waters of the Nile.
What Readers are Saying
“The images she creates are fantastically interwoven
in a mysterious romance. I couldn’t stop reading.”
“Great! Chilling and full of betrayal, revenge, and heat.”
“All Barbara Erskine’s books have the excitement, detail, slight historical slant,
and twists which make the reader look over their shoulder.”
“I found myself gripped by the story of Anna and her ancestor, Louisa. The
two stories are skillfully threaded together with a magical blend of the stunning
descriptions of Egypt and the love stories that enfold the two women.”
“It is a mystery that is unfolding before your very eyes. A real page-turner.”
