1552. Fifteen years after Henry VIII's brutal reformation of the monasteries, Catholics in England still live in fear. When thirteen-year-old Celia da Bohun first meets Stephen Marsdon, a young Catholic priest, protestant Edward VI has been on the throne for five years. Reluctantly, Stephen agrees to be her teacher but as Celia grows older, her girlish adoration of him and his affection for her deepens into a passionate love that will not be extinguished - even by her violent death.
400 years later, history seems poised to repeat itself. Not long after the marriage of Richard Marsdon and his American wife Celia, something seems to go terribly wrong between them. It is only when Celia is forced to look deep in to the past that she has a chance to prevent another tragedy . . .

Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. Book Club Edition. For the past several hundred years the chronicle of the Marsdon family has been kept up to date by the head of the house. The vital statistics of births, marriages, and deaths have been duly filled in. An entry dated 1585 lists the death of a younger son, Stephen Marsdon, a Benedictine monk, and speculates on the possible connection between his death and the simultaneous disappearance of a young woman. This question remained unsolved until the year 1968, when Richard Marsdon married and brought his young wife home to Medfield Place. Richard and Celia were very much in love and very happy at first, though there was always the threat of danger somewhere in the background. But now Richard has withdrawn into himself and Celia is bewildered and haunted by a vague dread. Fortunately for Celia, one person senses the danger and is wise enough to understand that the past can reach across centuries to influence the present. When Celia breaks down completely and her reason and life are at stake, Dr. Akananda knows that only by forcing her to relive the past can he enable her to escape it.
