Eventually they reach the manor and are taken in virtually without question. This becomes understandable when they learn that the lady of the manor, Lady Anne, herself came through the lift, and that there three others who have come through at various times. The lift itself has never been seen on this side so no-one has been able to return home. It is quickly established they have traveled back in time, but why and how is still a mystery.
I am not going to reveal any more as the storyline is excellent and I was completely absorbed in the tale. The greatest learning curve is for Sophie, a young woman of 2010s who is now restricted to corsets, hobble skirts and social mores. Hugo copes slightly better and is a great help to Sophie as she finds he is a treasure trove of historical information which helps her understand why she has made certain faux-pas.
This is a meticulously researched book. I could find no errors in continuity - anything that seems so is quickly explained. Hugo and Sophie become friends with Lady Anne's son Freddy, even Charlotte gains a friend in the black Labrador Jack, but what is the mystery of the lift and why is someone writing to them to stay away from it (even if they could find it again).
This is the first in a series of books the Shorten Chronicles (Shorten is the name of the large town of the area, the Manor is near the village of Little Shorten). I so enjoyed this tale I have already recommended it to others and I look forward to the next volume in the series. Well done Rosalind Tate.… (meer)
