Half of the story is set in the present day (the book was published in 2005) and the other half is from a journal the twins, Lucy and Will, find in their house from 1796. Their mother works in the library and their father is a businessman who hasn't come home yet and doesn't appear when debt collectors turn up. The other story also has debt collectors but it's more complicated and there are debtors prisons involved. It's interesting to see the parallels. There's intrigues also with the Black Dagger Brotherhood in the past and in the end it all works out for both parties.
It's an interesting read and she does evoke Edinburgh quite well.… (meer)
