The Haunted Reading Room's Reviews Scarborough Fair by Margarita Morris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Review: SCARBOROUGH FAIR

SCARBOROUGH FAIR is an endearing time travel contemporary and Victorian romance with a sociological impact, first in a trilogy. In 1899, a London lady vacations in Scarborough, Yorkshire, a beach resort, hoping to achieve clarity on the subject of her betrothal. What she discovers is danger, not clarity, subjected to a nightmarish involuntary commitment, for her betrothed is a megalomaniac gold digger. Her maid, Mary, however, achieves a happy life, settling in Scarborough.

In the present time, sixteen-year-old Rose of London spends the summer in Scarborough with her grandmother, Mary's granddaughter. She encounters friendship, enduring romance, and danger from a vicious local criminal ring.

SCARBOROUGH FAIR is a YA novel, but is certainly an enjoyable read for adults as well.

Review: SCARBOROUGH BALL

This trilogy would be well worth reading if only for the story of Rose, Dan, and Scarborough. The time travel aspects and the historical components make the novels that much more scrumptious. The author draws her characters and settings so vivid, clearly delineating the historical figures and the contemporary characters, and showing us Scarborough as it was and is. This one has its historical period December 1923 into 1924, the silent film and Jazz Age era, post-World War I.

Review: SCARBOROUGH ROCK by Margarita Morris

SCARBOROUGH ROCK {think : "Rock Around the Clock" era} is third in this enterprising and truly entertaining series {think: rereadable}. In the present day (2017), Rose and Dan are hoping to finally achieve at least some level of closure as hopefully sociopathic criminal "mastermind" Max faces trial. Of course, the ideal solution would be to turn back time, back to before Dan's dad hooked up with criminals, before Rose' s grandmother passed on, before Rose nearly died.

Turning back time Is also a thread in the 1957 component, a horrible era in which to "be different," a bad time to be alone and without wise guidance or help, a time when some of the characters of that era suffer unbearable grief.

I am so thrilled with this series. YA it may be, nevertheless: I love it.
