Résumé :

Oceans and Time Between Us is an historical fiction novel that will take the reader back to the nineteenth century to a vivid portrayal of the life of Oscar Wilde. Imagine-1881-Ireland, England, and France-traveling back in time, a time where artists thrived, theatres came alive, mode of travel evolved through carriages and luxurious trains, and the socialites were pampered with their gala events and elaborate clothing. Oceans and Time Between Us opens the gateway to walk through this remarkable era side by side with one of the most talked-about celebrities of their time, Oscar Wilde. Based on his life in the year 1881, prior to Wilde touring America in 1882. A novel of romance, where modern-day Cateline McCarthy travels through time to encounter the life of Wilde along with the culture in various regions-Dublin, Youghal, Liverpool, Bath, London, Paris, Berneval, and many other locations. Experience Wilde's life as Cateline shares her story vibrantly through the day-to-day lifestyle of this famous icon. Travel and learn of his favorite hot spots; engage in the elaborate views of the countryside; enjoy the history of many famous historical sites while learning; allow the vibrant culture to penetrate deep within to gain a perspective of that timeframe; meet many of Wilde's friends as they are brought to life while discovering more about his own life as he comes alive through his quotes and works, and enjoy the playfully vibrant twenty-first-century girl who mixes a bit of modern-day into that period. Oceans and Time Between Us is a beautiful romantic tale conveyed in a way that portrays Oscar Wilde in a new sense-the year 1881 was a time after Wilde's relationship with Florence Balcombe had ended and before he met his wife, Constance Lloyd. Oceans and Time Between Us will lead the reader to experience the love and heartache of Oscar and Cateline as they tread through days of happiness, laughter, and tears.
