Another Life, Another Love — Eileen Stafford

An enthralling novel of intertwining lives, by a very popular storyteller. Phoebe Kimberley is a respected and successful biographer whose comfortable life with her orphaned granddaughter, Kate, is abruptly turned upside down when she is commissioned to write a new book about Thomas a Becket. From the first Phoebe perceives strange parallels between her own life, and that of the twelfth-century saint. Kate, too, fresh from school and about to embark on adult life, is intrigued by the story of Thomas and a long-buried romance, and compares it to her own hopeless infatuation with a young man destined for the monastic life. As the two women become increasingly involved with these historical figures, their dreams are haunted by images from the distant, but strangely seductive past...
