8Bond, Nancy. Another Shore. MacMillan Publishing Co., 1988.
Carolyn "Lyn" Paget is a reinactor at an historical park in Nova Scotia. She ends up being transported in back in time to 1744 as the character she is portraying. Shows the style of its time (much exposition). Premise is interesting but the ending surprised me. We never find out what really happened to cause the reality change. Would a coma have made it more believable? Would having her return to the present day make it more satisfying? (Ages 12 and up)
8 Macomber, Debbie. The Shop on Blossom Street. Ontario: Mira Books, 2004.
The lives of four women intertwine as they develop their relationships during a knitting class at A Good Yarn. Good study in POV (each chapter is from a different character's POV), plot development, and conflict. A little predictable, but Macomber does it so well, you're not offended or bored. Great exploration of what it's like to be part of a childless couple. Great character study--four very different women.
