So Delightful
New York Miracle by Margo Laurie is such a delightful timeslip novel that warmed my heart and made me smile.
The reader travels to New York in present day and 1936. We are treated to a winter wonderland with skating in Central Park, the lights and sounds of the festive season in both time periods.
We see that true love never dies no matter how much a family may try to thwart it.
The theatre in 1936 was a sight to behold. It was a decadent era. Margo Laurie has perfectly captured the atmosphere and the razzamatazz.
Staying in a convent in present day, a character finds little has changed over the years as she connects with the past in a surprising way.
All the characters were well drawn, likable and very charming.
I thoroughly enjoyed a glimpse into a bygone era, as well as the warm welcome in present day.
New York Miracle was a wonderful read.
I received a free copy via Rachel’s Random Resources for a blog tour. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
