Présentation de l'éditeur
Two girls are connected across time by their uncanny powers of memory.
Io is a gifted fourteen-year-old who can replay memories, reliving her favourite moments just for fun or repeating her social disasters to work out exactly what went wrong.
But when Io starts to use her gifts to avoid real life, she discovers powerful new abilities and a doorway into the past.
Slipping backwards through time, Io becomes the ghostly companion of her ancestor, Talia Lampeter, a seventeen-year-old mesmerist’s assistant in Victorian London.
Talia is struggling to find her place in society and doesn’t have time to worry about a ghostly girl who claims to be from the distant future.
In 1853 superstitions are running riot. Beautiful mystics, charming mesmerists and mysterious masked performers are bewitching the parlours and palaces of London.
Bound together by their strange talents, Io and Talia must decide how they want to live. Both of them have lost their way, but learning how to use their gifts could change their lives forever.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
