1759. Lady Sarah Lennox arrives at Holland House and at just fourteen years old is swept into society and hailed as the beauty of London. She is fated to catch the eye of the young Prince of Wales, the future King George III, and they begin a romance which is as all-consuming to the young lovers as it is forbidden by George’s advisers when he ascends to the throne. For Sarah’s political connections make her an unsuitable choice in the eyes of the King’s controlling mother, Augusta Saxe-Gothe, and Sarah begins the battle that will engage in her whole life – to find love in the face of enormous odds. Amid the turmoil of her royal romance, Sarah has disturbing visions – a young woman with flame-red hair appears at her bedroom door one night, and this ‘ghost’ makes itself known at crucial moments throughout her life. Sidonie Brooks, a talented musician who specialises in the eighteenth-century harpsichord, moves into a flat near to Holland House in the late twentieth century. There she begins to have strange, inexplicable episodes in which she seems to step through time and witness the life and intrigues of a beautiful young woman. Sidonie is just beginning to reach a new level in her career, even as she is torn between her handsome neighbour, Dr Finnan O’Neill, and the Russian musical prodigy Alexei Orlov, and as she tries to unravel the mystery of her visions of Sarah Lennox. As Sarah’s life of romance and scandal begins to interweave with Sidonie’s musical and romantic awakening, the two young women will find their lives running along extraordinary parallels, as they both seek the ultimate happiness of love. ‘As Shadows Haunting’ is a sweeping, romantic historical novel, bringing to life the eighteenth century through the haunting tale of Lady Sarah Lennox. ‘She has a strong sense of history and an uncanny ability to bring it to life’ – Daily Mail ‘Sympathetically told, and the lives of the twin heroines touch and part in a very convincing manner’ – The Times Deryn Lake started to write stories at the age of five then graduated to novels but destroyed all her early work because, she says, it was hopeless. A chance meeting with one of the Getty family took her to Sutton Place and her first serious novel was born. Deryn was married to a journalist and writer, the late L. F. Lampitt, has two grown-up children and lives in Mayfield, Sussex, with two large cats. She is also the author of ‘Sutton Place’, ‘To Sleep No More’, ‘The King’s Women’ and ‘Pour The Dark Wine’.

Great time slip By Misfit "And it had been the dark looks of both Charles Stuart and his French lady that had passed through the generations to Sarah Lennox, making her, at fourteen, already one of the great beauties of her day."Gosh this was good, and definitely one for fans of the time-slip books. The present day story was centered around a musician who has recently moved into a flat next to the ruins of Holland House and she starts falling back in time to see visions of Lady Sarah Lennox, a great beauty who apparently caught the eye of the young George III."To say that he gazed was an understatement. His Majesty positively stared, while Sarah, a born coquette if ever there was one, looked at him from beneath lowered lashes and dropped a small curtsey in acknowledgment of his attention."History is written and we all know George didn't marry Sarah, but she led quite a fascinating life, and at times a very sad one. You can certainly look up her story on Wiki, but I don't recommend it too close to reading the book - you'll spoil yourself.I really enjoyed both the past and present day storyline, and thought the time-slip element well done and believable. I hadn't heard of Lady Sarah before, so also appreciated a glimpse into her life and I'm looking forward to reading more. I also liked the closer look into George's life, especially as a young man. What if he'd been able to marry Sarah and how different history might have been? Bonus points on using the time slip element to make such a ending for the baddie in the present day. Such lovely just desserts :)

Not really a romance By Kindle Customer While I appreciate the author's dedication to historical accuracy, this book was disjointed and lacked a clear focus. I think that the author attempted to make it a love story, but in Sarah's story, aside from the King, there were just too many men in her life for the reader to ever connect and feel a storyline of true love and passion. In the modern day love storylines, I think that there was too much indecision to ever capture or evoke feelings of longing or angst. The time travel, if it can even be called that, was so poorly executed that it made no sense at all to even have it. It didn't benefit the story or the characters at all. It would have been better if Sidanie simply read the documents instead of showing up randomly back in time. Overall, I wish that the author had stuck with her original intent and focused on George III. His storyline seemed to have the most potential.
