This story of troubled love takes place simultaneously during two periods of time: today and 400 years ago. We meet Richard and Celia Marsdon, an attractive young couple, whose family traces its lineage back to medieval England. Richard's growing depression creates a crisis in Celia, and she falls desperately ill. Lying unconscious and near death, Celia's spirit journeys backward to a time four centuries earlier when another Celia loved another Marsdon.
No one writing today has a greater capacity to make the reader feel the joys and stresses of another age.
