Becoming Catherine: An evocative time-slip novel

Two bodies, one soul - visions of enlightenment

Moving to her grandmothers house after graduating is a dream come true for Kate. Valhalla Hall is steeped in history and intrigue, originally belonging to an ancestor of hers from the 19th century, Bertrand Lloyd, renowned as one of the greatest opera singers of all time.

But one morning, her world is turned upside down when she mysteriously wakes up in an older version of her bedroom, appearing to be in the Victorian era. Everyone refers to her as Catherine, Bertrand Lloyds daughter, who happens to share an uncanny resemblance to her.

Grappling between two worlds, like a dream within a dream, Kate does her best to blend into an age that is alien to her and finds herself confronted by many challenges: an abusive father, betrothal to a man she loathes while being in love with somebody else, and discovering a family secret so dark that she feels powerless to divulge to anyone.

While all this is happening, she has no idea where her destiny lies - will she ever return to the future or be made to remain here forever?
