The Memory of Midnight by Pamela Hartshorne
4.0
Nell/Eleanor is a young woman living life and finding love in sixteenth century Elizabethan York. Tess/Theresa is a thirty something mother, who has moved back to York to escape her controlling husband.
Their lives become oddly intertwined when Tess moves into an old flat- and starts to see flashes of the past. Of Nell's life.
Is she just hallucinating? Is it stress? After all, she has a son to think about. Why does Nell's life seem like a memory?
Out of the two, I found Nell far more interesting because her historical scenery was much more exciting that Tess's- I'm used to modern day, but Nell's was also much more tragic.
Finding out what really happened to her (She's fictional, but in terms of modern day vs history) was sad, but reflects on how thought marriage was back then.
Women suffered.
It was a great story and I was quite surprised how gripped I was. I had a bit of historical fiction, which I love, and a bit of supernatural.
4/5 stars.
Really enjoyed!
