  • Good read!
In California, my mom handed me this book. I was 14,She told me I would love it. She was right. In my 20's my mom and I were discussing books that we both read and the mirror was brought up. We couldn't remember who the author was but she wanted to read it again. We searched but couldn't find the right one . The small town we moved to in Kansas 1950 was the population, had it. So she read it then I read it. In 2007 my mom wanted to find the book again but no library around here carried it. In2012 my mom passed away, but I never quit looking. So I read books now on a kindle and two days ago I thought of this book and searched for titles With the word mirror in it , man there are thousands of them. And came across it so I purchased it. So I dedicate your book to my mother's memory and her love of reading. So thank you. Linda ... show more

  • A magnificent time travel book, and so much more, right up there with Finney's Time and Again. Read it!!!
I don't know what to say except that this is one of the best books I've read on Kindle, and maybe one of the best books I've ever read. I purchased it (apparently at a great discount at $1.99) as it was billed a horror novel. I would not call it that at all. There are some unexplained deaths in the book and a supernatural plot, but not real horror. It turned out to be much more than that. It is a time travel book, in the vein of Jack Finney's famous "Time and Again," the difference being that Finney's book also had a murder mystery plot, while this one doesn't. But it resembles it in that not only are we transported back in time, but the author has obviously done extensive research (she was a history major) into the times and places in the book, namely the Boulder, Colorado area around the turn of the twentieth century. The supernatural and time travel elements are definitely intriguing, but the characterizations, the writing style and the beautiful exposition of the life and times we're taken to are a wonder I've rarely seen. Not surprising that this book was a sensation when it came out in 1979, and was the most stolen book in libraries as the time. I will not say much about the plot (which is as fascinating as the period piece), as that has been detailed extensively, already. You will be totally involved in the characters and will not want to put this book down until you find out what happens to them. I almost wish there was more of it. I definitely recommend this book. ... show more

  • Could Ms Millhiser have experienced time travel herself?
I've been hooked on time travel books ever since reading Jack Finney's "Time and Again" which I consider a very hard act to follow. Time travel as a genre has more than its share of ho-hum books by authors who follow a formula, shallow plots, and some are so predictable it's laughable. But Marlys Millhiser writes so convincingly of the past and her lyrical descriptions are so vivid, it's hard to believe she hasn't experienced time travel herself. Even the impressions of 1978 to a young Victorian girl seem amazingly authentic and perceptive. There are a few incidents of violence and horror but nothing to be greatly disturbing. The sexual content is not graphic and is told for the sake of the story so I was not offended. I found this a page-turner to the end and look forward to reading more by Marlys Millhiser. ... show more

  • THE MIRROR..
I went into this book looking forward to reading about the way the author "slides" back and forth from the past / present, and future again? I don't know, I feel that it must be me because everyone that read it, raved about it! I guess I was looking for a book more along , "THE FORGOTTEN ROOM," there's a time traveler! For me, the author just didn't seem to be clear on which character was who and and developed into who's mother?????? 😵 ... show more

  • The second half was torture
This book was OK for the first half. It was interesting to see a character, albeit a somewhat unlikable one, deal with adjusting to an earlier era in the body of her own grandmother. She married, gave birth, married, gave birth and generally speaking lived a life in a different time. In the second half, the book became pretty awful as we read the grandmother's story as she tries to adjust to being in the body of her grandchild in a future era. I admit that that would be a much harder transition but the author never carried it off. In fact, the whole thing becomes completely schizophrenic as the character (Brandy, the grandmother) keeps saying things like "she reached out Shay's (the granddaughter) hand" or "she felt Shay's body get hungry." There became two protagonists: Brandy and Shay's body. Since Brandy/Shay is pregnant, you can only imagine how much Shay's body has to say. I trudged through to the end only to discover that it was worse than the rest of the second half. The mirror, which is the catalyst for the whole time travel thing, is seen riding off into the sunset with a whole other set of people. Dear God, anything but a sequel! ... show more

  • If you like time travel, you will like this one
I first read this book from the library when it first came out. I liked it a bit more then--it's really about a 4 1/2 this time around. I guess part of that for me is that Brandy from the past came into what was then current time (1978). It was not significant to me that Brandy and Marek didn't go further into the future. Now I would like them to develop their relationship, just as Shay did with Hutch. I guess Milhiser was seeing time as a corkscrew and Brandy and Shay switched places at parallel times in the continuum. But once Shay formed connections to the people and places in the pastime she realized she no longer wanted to return to her time. Milhiser maintained the device that Shay's mind was in Brandy's body and vice versa which covered the sticky problem of Rachel being raised by her daughter. Now that almost 40 years have past since I first read this, I would like to see Brandy and Marek and how he helped her adapt to her new time--an advantage that Shay never had. ... show more
