Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to review this book and thank you to the publisher. I won’t give any spoilers. It was just an okay book for me. It was not one of my favorites but honestly couldn’t really get into the book. I’m glad I read it.

this was a very enjoyable read. It reminded me of Jack Finney's Time and Again. I hope there will be a second book, I'd like to know what happened to Greg. Jill's story still seems unfinished. I like time travel stories that are serious and describe the way things were. I'll be on the lookout for Mr. Harris's next book.

Review of BENEATH THE CATTLE ARCH by
John David Harris

A heartwarming tale of small-town England, in 1947, in the aftermath of World War II; and 60 years earlier, in 1887. Filled with real emotions and realistic characters, this novel finely delineates two historical settings most of us have not lived throguh and can only read about. A meteorological event swallows a plane, an American troopship, and a young woman—she is then transported to 1887, and has to learn to cope and to live covertly without revealing her true nature or timeframe.

An interesting mix of time travel, mystery and romance. When the mysterious cloud takes Jill from her mother, daughter and boyfriend, they are all distraught. Jill is taken back sixty years to the same region in 1887 rural England . New relationships are forged in the new/old time and Jill wonders if she’ll ever be able to go home again. Excellent character development left me wondering what ever became of several of the people.
