Ever thought about escaping from your spouse, your kids, your life? Always wanted to know what life was really like in the 14th century? Didn't quite get enough hallucinogens in college? Then join us to her Dr. Gina Wisker discuss "The House on the Strand".The story, set in Cornwall, is one of time travel, with elements of the gothic and supernatural. The narrator, Richard (Dick) Young, gains access to a drug that transports him from his present day rather mundane life to the 14th century. There, he becomes involved in the lives of those he meets, and his two worlds collide.
His uses of the drug and the time travel become addictions, which, in Daphne du Maurier's hands, were never going to end well. His actions do not escape present day consequences.
Returning to present day our very own Samantha Mabry will introduce her new book, Clever Creatures of the Night, and discuss some of the thematic nuances of her new work and Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca. Signed books will be available for DNA members.

The Years Between explores the tension that exists when those new freedoms are threatened by her husband’s sudden reappearance and belief that all will return to normal now that he has found his way home.
