Free (Kindle/Kobo) Another Life [Cornish 19th/21st C Parallel Lives Literary Drama]

[ATDrake]

Another Life by Cornwall-resident author Sara Macdonald is her standalone contemporary/retro-period literary/women's fiction personal drama novel with romantic elements set mostly in Cornwall and partially in Canada, and switching between modern and historical times, featuring the parallel lives of two women as one in the modern day begins investigating the historical record of the other in the 19th century after finding an antique figurehead based on the Lady Isabella's image, and finds her life and love experiences beginning to eerily resonate with the long-deceased Lady's own, with the same potential for personal disaster, free courtesy of publisher HarperCollins UK.

Currently free @ Amazon UK, iTunes UK, & Kobo (available to the UK, and apparently also in Japan and South America when I spot-checked assorted retailers' regional stores). Probably also free at Google Play for the eligible countries as well.

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because it's nice to start getting a few HC UK freebies again, not to mention the premise looks interesting and I've always liked parallel experience stuff. And this one gets extra points for being partially set in Canada, which I always like to see because usually non-Canadians get things about us horribly, terribly, hilariously wrong, so that's like, potential bonus entertainment right there.

Enjoy!

Description
For everyone who adores Rosanna Ley, a sweeping love story set in Cornwall and Canada.

Marine historian Mark Hannah finds a hauntingly beautiful figurehead in Newfoundland. He traces her ship, The Lady Isabella, back to a small port in Cornwall where he meets Gabrielle Ellis, the woman who is going to restore her to her former glory. Together they begin to trace jigsaw pieces of the lives of the carver, Tom Welland and the real Lady Isabella.

Surrounded by the rugged Cornish landscape, Gabrielle becomes increasingly haunted by Isabella's lost life. As Gabrielle's own life becomes inextricably involved with Mark's, her story runs parallel with the lives of Isabella, her husband Richard and Tom Welland, the carver.

Two women, living more than a hundreds years apart yet against the same wild backdrop of sea and landscape, make a rash bid for freedom to live another life. But for both of them, that choice means a loss which will greatly affect the next generation.
