Synopsis

Living a dog's life...now and then.Anna O'Shea has failed at marriage, shed her job at a law firm, and she's trying to re-create herself when she and her recalcitrant nephew are summoned to the past in a manner that nearly destroys them. Her twenty-first-century skills pale as she struggles to find her nephew in nineteenth-century Ireland. For one of them, the past is brutally difficult, filled with hunger and struggle. For the other, the past is filled with privilege, status, and a reprieve from the crushing pain of present-day life. For both Anna and her nephew, the past offers them a chance at love.Will every choice they make reverberate down through time? And do Irish Wolfhounds carry the soul of the ancient celts?The past and present wrap around finely wrought characters who reveal the road home. Mystical, charming, and fantastic, New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Sheehan's Now & Then is a poignant and beautiful tale of a remarkable journey. It is a miraculous evocation of a breathtaking place in a volatile age filled with rich, unforgettable, deeply human characters and one unforgettable dog named Madigan.

I had a tough time rating this one. It felt a little slow in the beginning,was tough to put down throughout the middle and then ended on a slightly confused note.

Goodreads review by Karina on August 15, 2009

Although I haven't read a book about time travel in a while, this is nothing like the time travel romances I used to read. Picture an aunt and nephew unexpectedly thrown back into the pre-famine days of Ireland, where they not only have to learn how to fend for themselves--in a world without all the......more

Goodreads review by Liz on May 03, 2020

This book was ok, too much talk of miscarriages....not enough dog. Anna left her job at a law firm, goes to Ireland, coming home in a rough plane ride to the call that her brother was in a horrible car accident....so she goes to the detention facility her nephew is in to pick him up and they start h......more
