Summary
Barbara Erskine returns with this beautiful and haunting tale of dark forces and mystical powers
Cambridge, present day: Following the death of her mother, Abi Rutherford receives a mysterious bequest – a misshapen crystal sphere known as the Serpent’s Stone, which gives her glimpses into mysteries long concealed by the church.
Western England, 25 AD: A stranger has come to the chilly Somerset wetlands, with a story of hope and reconciliation. But he is being followed by powerful forces, determined that he will not undermine Roman rule in Britain.
Abi questions what connects these ancient events and her gift. Why do so many people seem desperate to hide the truth?
A dark shadow has fallen across the centuries, and a woman is in fear for her life. But is it danger that awaits her, or the final truth so long whispered across the echoes of time?

The ways of Life challenged......
This is my second Barbara Erskine novel.
I'm hooked. I love the way she brings together many of our possible understandings. Let's face it Life is a mystery.

excellent listen
This is the first Erskin book I have listened to and I am about to start a second which I hope will be equally as enjoyable. I like Phil Rickman books and this is similar but I enjoyed the two stories running consecutively. It was a book I wanted to listen to until the end and even then I was left wanting more. thus my reason for downloading another book in a similar vein by the same author.

Riveting listening
Having read and enjoyed other books by this author I was delighted to find a title that I hadn't seen before and I was not disappointed. The story held me enthralled and I couldn't wait to pick up my ipod and continue listening. I feel quite lost now that it has come to an end but I can thoroughly recommend this audio book.

Another brilliant story.
Barbara Erskine is the maestro of the historical novel. I'm going to be so upset when I finish reading her books to date. The books are a great size, meaning I can enjoy each one for up to 3 days solid reading. I can't wait to read the next one.

Good but not that good
I tried to read Barbara Erskines Lady of Hay many years ago but found myself putting it down a lot and then having to re read bits over and over to pick up the thread again
I found this audio book good: I listened to it all but I was not over keen on the narrator. If I,m honest I prefer men narrating I found like the lady of Hay that it just lacked the suspense I had hoped for and whereas I could listen over and over to The Woman In Black by Susan Hill for me this is not a book I would want to listen to again

Slipping into the past
Where does Time's Legacy rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This book ranks very highly. I have only just started listening to audio books again and have enjoyed this one immensely. Extremely well read and easily defined vocal differences for each character.
What other book might you compare Time's Legacy to, and why?
As its so long since I listened to any that is hard to answer fairly.
Which scene did you most enjoy?
I wouldn't lkie to define just one scene, as each scene added and flowed into the next, past and present, enhancing the overall experience.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
As I rarely watch films I'm not the best person to provide a tag line
Any additional comments?
This book gave just enough annoyances to really make it believeable. Abby, on more than one occassion, acted stupidly enough to irritate, as did the clergy who never stopped Kieran from pestering Abby. But like a good play this story took you into the highs and lows holding your attention along the way. I am glad Barbara Erskine wasn't obvious this time in the present characters being those of the past too, although it did slip into that element right at the end. For those who are religiously inclined I would imagine this book could start a very healthy debate as to it having actually happened. A very sound story and beautifully read. The definition of characters voices was superb. My one grouse though is that too many characters names began with 'K', which I found a little confusing at times

What an amazing Book
What a re-imagining, and done with such sympathy for all groups represented. I’m currently pestering my mum to read it, so I can discuss it with her.
