'A Rip in the Veil' is the first book in The Graham Saga, Anna
Belfrage's time slip series featuring time traveller Alexandra Lind and
her seventeenth century husband, Matthew Graham. On a muggy August day
in 2002 Alexandra Lind is inexplicably thrown several centuries
backwards in time to 1658. Life will never be the same for Alex. Alex
lands at the feet of Matthew Graham - an escaped convict making his way
home to Scotland. She gawks at this tall gaunt man with hazel eyes,
dressed in what looks like rags. At first she thinks he might be some
sort of hermit, an oddball, but she quickly realises that she is the odd
one out, not him. Catapulted from a life of modern comfort, Alex
grapples with her frightening new existence. Potential compensation for
this brutal shift in fate comes in the shape of Matthew - a man she
should never have met, not when she was born three centuries after him.
But Matthew comes with baggage of his own, and at times it seems his
past will see them killed. How will she ever get back? And more
importantly, does she want to? 'A Rip in the Veil' has been awarded a
B.R.A.G. Medallion.
