A Shape On The Air by Julia Ibbotson
Release Date: 28th July 2017
Publisher: Endeavour Press
Genres: Historical time slip romance
Two women 1500 years apart. One need: to save the world they know. Can
they help each other to achieve their greatest desire? And what if that world
they want is not the one that's best for them?
University lecturer in medieval studies, Dr Viv Dulac, is devastated
when her partner walks out (and with her best friend too!) and threatens her
home. Drunk and desperate, her world
quite literally turns upside down and she finds herself in the body of the
fifth century Lady Vivianne, who is struggling with the shifting values of the
Dark Ages and her forced betrothal to the brutish Sir Pelleas who is implicated
in the death of her parents.
Haunted by both Lady Vivianne and by Viv's own
parents' death and legacy, can Viv unravel the web of mystery that surrounds and
connects their two lives, and bring peace to them both? A haunting story of
lives intertwining across the ages, of the triumph of the human spirit and of
dreams lost and found.
ABOUT JULIA IBBOTSON
Award winning author Julia Ibbotson lives with her second husband in the
heart of England in a renovated Victorian rectory, and, their four children
having grown up, she is now suffering from empty nest syndrome. She is obsessed
with the medieval world and concepts of time travel (and chocolate) (and cakes
…). She read English at Keele University
(after a turbulent but exciting gap year in Ghana) specialising in medieval
studies. She wrote her first novel at 10 years of age, but life (and later the
need to earn a living as a single mother) intruded and she became a school
teacher, and then, on gaining her PhD as a (very) mature student, a university
lecturer. Julia has written a memoir The Old Rectory: escape to a Country
Kitchen (with recipes) and a children’s book S.C.A.R.S (a fantasy medieval time
slip), before embarking on her Drumbeats trilogy (which begins in Ghana). Her latest novel, A Shape on the Air, is a
historical (medieval) time slip romance. Clearly, she is obsessed … Apart from insatiable reading, she loves
travelling the world, singing in choirs, swimming, yoga, baking, and walking in
the English countryside.
