Would children crying keep you awake? Especially if the children
were dead? A haunted house, a man with a past and a girl called
Alice who can cross time. Then Alice meets Tom who lives in the
past and the past and the present begin to collide, with fatal
consequences. This is a ghost story, and a tragedy that happened
over a century ago. And a mystery. Can you solve it? Inspired by
the legends of York (UK). What people have said (a sample of Amazon
reviews) 1. This is a ghost story with a difference, because, no I
won't spoil the surprise. The plot is very cleverly and skilfully
drip fed throughout the story keeping the reader hooked and wanting
to know more.It took a few chapters to get used to swapping from
time zone to time zone but once you get used to that it works
extremely well. Brilliant book, recommended. 2. A fascinating book
taking the reader seamlessly from past to present and back again in
what seems like a parallel universe. Based on her knowledge of
York, Ellie Stevenson paints a vivid picture with characters whose
lives are interconnected. This book would make a wonderful
television screenplay. Clever, detailed and very imaginative. 3. An
intriguing story told in two times zones 100 years apart, linked by
a mystery and a time travelling girl. The book evokes a wonderful
sense of place and is full of interesting characters. One of the
modern day characters if trying to come to terms with a devastating
event by helping a traumatised child. I didn't see the twists
coming at the end. 4. A page-turning mystery that travels through
time and keeps you guessing. I couldn't put it down. What is Aleph
Jones' secret, and why is his fridge in the middle of the floor?
Why isn't Tom in Alice's photo? 'Shadows' raises lots of questions
and you have to keep turning the page to learn more. Ellie
Stevenson seems to be creating her own niche genre.
