Description
A spellbinding debut from a hugely talented young author, featuring time-travel, 19th-century New York, unrequited love and a mysterious portrait...
Rebecca, a 15-year-old American, isn't entirely happy with her life,
comfortable though it is. Still, even she knows that she shouldn't talk
to strangers. So when her mysterious neighbour Miss Hatfield asked her
in for a chat and a drink, Rebecca wasn't entirely sure why she said
yes. It was a decision that was to change everything.
For Miss
Hatfield is immortal. And now, thanks to a drop of water from the
Fountain of Youth, Rebecca is as well. But this gift might be more of a
curse, and it comes with a price. Rebecca is beginning to lose her
personality, to take on the aspects of her neighbour. She is becoming
the next Miss Hatfield.
But before the process goes too far,
Rebecca must travel back in time to turn-of-the-century New York and
steal a painting, a picture which might provide a clue to the
whereabouts of the source of immortality. A clue which must remain
hidden from the world. In order to retrieve the painting, Rebecca must
infiltrate a wealthy household, learn more about the head of the family,
and find an opportunity to escape. Before her journey is through, she
will also have - rather reluctantly - fallen in love. But how can she
stay with the boy she cares for, when she must return to her own time
before her time-travelling has a fatal effect on her body? And would she
rather stay and die in love, or leave and live alone?
And who is
the mysterious stranger who shadows her from place to place? A hunter
for the secret of immortality - or someone who has already found it?
