First of all, I have to in fairness admit that I was the only one on my book club that really didn't like this book--others rated it considerably higher. So, for what it's worth.... Beginning with the cover--that looks more like Annie's Sandy than it does a huge Irish wolfhound. Then it was downhill from there. This time-travel-based novel takes two people, an aunt and her nephew, back to just-before-the-Great-Famine-Ireland, one of them to the home of a rich landowner and the other to the poorest of the poor. Sheehan utilizes every possible cliche for their subsequent experiences until they, you guessed it, undo the Irish curse and come back to where they started from. I would have given this one star, except that I did appreciate the author's attempt to focus on the horrors of the poverty and injustice of Irish life in the mid-nineteenth century.

The reader of this audio book was exceptional. The book was about an aunt and her nephew traveling backward through time and I found myself eager to listen to it even if only for short periods of time while I drove around running errands, etc.

Sheehan's other novels have featured dogs as prominent characters, which is the reason I read them in the first place. From the cover of the book and the description on the back about wolfhounds and souls, I thought dogs would play a much bigger role in this book. There are a few scenes where Irish Wolfhounds interact with the main characters, but the dogs have a very tiny role in the story. If you like time traveling romance novels, this story is ok, but not the best one I've ever read. If you are looking for a story about dogs, look somewhere else.

I got this book because of the picture of the dog on the cover, but it did not turn out to be a dog story. Though it does include a dog character or two. I was so happy to have found this new (to me!) author. I enjoyed the story so much I had originally read it as a library book and as soon as I finished reading, I went online to Amazon.com and bought my own copy!! I also called my sisters and told them to read it! They are not profound dog lovers, as I am, so I made sure they knew it was not a "Dog Story"!! It is a very enjoyable book!!! I look forward to reading more from this author.

What astounds me about Jacqueline Sheehan's new book, NOW AND THEN, is the way she crafts the storyline. Her ability to move characters back and forth in time with ease creates a subtle grace on every page. I found myself repeating the characters' Irish names out loud to hear their unusual but musical sounds. Sheehan's devoted attention to setting brought me inside another world. This is the kind of journey a reader will treasure. NOW AND THEN is nothing less than an exquisite tale.
