As The Looking Glass Summer opens, Isobel Adams finds herself “under a cloudless summer sky in a garden at once foreign and familiar.” She soon learns that this garden is a portal between her life in 2004 as professor of literature and another life waiting for her as governess in the same household one hundred years earlier.
In 2004, she is a woman of independent means with a PhD and the endless choices the 21st century offers, but her life and her marriage are empty and unsatisfying. In 1904, life is clearer, simpler, and more compelling. Even the air and the light are different, better, richer. She enjoys experiences she could never have imagined, she’s falling in love with the man she works for and is becoming extremely attached to his young daughter. But life in 1904 is fraught with danger and uncertainty, especially as she is working at a job only a notch above that of the servants.
Could she live in this other time? Should she even consider it? She has the power to make this choice, but understands there are no guarantees of happily-ever-after in either century. And she has only the summer to decide before the portal closes forever.
