A spine-tingling collection of stories, Sands of Time features two intriguing long stories that pick up the fortunes of characters from Whispers in the Sand.  Still haunted by ancient mysteries, and the subject of dark intentions, Anna and Louisa must once more do battle with the past in order to survive the present. Here, too, are a host of other tales, all with a touch of the unexpected. A happily married woman has an affair with a man who died in the First World War. Who is the little girl on the swing in the garden and why does only Charlotte see her? And how can a traveller find herself transported suddenly from her airplane seat to the snowy Canadian wastes below?
