Two Complete Novels tell the story of "The Crossing" in:

"THE SEEDS OF TIME"
This intensely romantic yet realistic action and adventure novel spans two generations and the unimaginable gulf between the Second World War and the present.

When Englishman Richard Barker suffers a devastating loss he learns to come to terms with his grief. He is helped by two beautiful women, newly discovered quiet and smouldering American, Sorrel and the tempestuous and wilful, Miranda an old flame from long ago.

While Richard is battling with his feelings, by chance he enters into the dark, often surreal world of his dead father's past life spent during the Second World War. It is Sorrel's Grandfather, an American Air Force pilot, who contacts Richard with some intriguing news which helps Richard to his senses.

Richard lives in a world that is sometimes as tragic as A Farewell to Arms and as sensuous as The English Patient. His story and that of his father are crafted from the ruins of war and the indestructibility of love. The action is non-stop, the locations are intriguing and the characters are appealing. There is tension, romance and harrowing escapes all woven within a story that captures the imagination and keeps the reader guessing until the very end.

And:

"HARVEST"
Continues Richard and Billy's stories which begun in "The Seeds of Time".

Billy returns home and marries his love, while Richard has to make a decision between the two beautiful women in his life. Richard discovers he is torn between love and duty.

In Sorrel he finds what he believes is his soul-mate, whereas sexy Miranda keeps Richard guessing. When Richard discovers an old war-torn photograph of a woman and two children he is shaken to the core. What was it his father did & never divulged to his wife and family? Harvest is a world where tragedy rests alongside joy. Harvest deals with harsh, cruel, & often despicable conditions - at the same time describing the indestructibility of love in past & present lives. This is a story of deep romance, bravery, survival, heartbreak and happiness, all poignantly & convincingly conveyed. Richard's compelling desire to finally lay his father's dark secrets to rest brings warmth and understanding into the two intertwined stories. All perfectly blended with non-stop action, intriguing locations, and appealing characters.

Excellent Saga covering present and WW2

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2014

I've read most of Ms Mortimer's mystery and suspense novels and decided to try this double volume. I was attracted by the World War 2 element, as this year marks the 70th anniversary. She has obviously spent a lot of her time in research as the attention to detail was excellent - I felt like I was there in Germany, Poland, France and later in the USA. Great story which moves along at a cracking pace, interspersed with some romance and war action.

Kept me hooked on both books in the double volume. I wonder if there's a third in the offing?

Highly recommended

This was a pretty good story. I especially liked the parts about Richard's father Billie 's experiences during World War Ii. The beginnng scenes on the yacht were a bit drawn out. As Richard goes through Billie's things, he discovers and forms new relationships.

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2014

The Crossing is a skillfully crafted historical novel that spans two generations. A powerful and emotional story, yet again demonstrating Faith Mortimer's considerable talents as a new author.

The Crossing is a story in 2 parts ... The Seeds of Time, and Harvest, I absolutely loved them. It took me no time at all to get to the end, as I was HOOKED. I couldn't stop reading, as I eagerly wanted to know what happened next. I love the way Faith Mortimer writes, I particularly liked the way this story was told over 2 time period - Richards story, and the harrowing story of his Father Billy during WW2.. It's was a compelling read, and very moving at times. Highly recommended.

An exciting adventure story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2013

Verified Purchase

Apparently an earlier version of this book was Faith Mortimer's first novel, which I missed out on. She has now rewritten much of the original story into these two books. Great story and realistic action in two time periods - WW2 and the present. Good value!
