First sentence: Hardship seemed my constant companion. The only difference was that in 1563, I had money and a title to overcome the difficulties life threw at me.
Through Each Tomorrow features FOUR, yes, FOUR time-crossers. Charles (1560s and 1880s), Cecily (1560s, 1910s but she's deceased in her second time so she's stuck in Elizabethan England), Drew (1560s and 1880s) and Evelyn (1690s and 1880s). We get points of view from Cecily, Charles, and Drew.
This novel is ALL about time-crossers crossing into each other. Charles and Drew occupy the same times and have become friends in both times. Drew falls for Charles' sister, Cecily. Charles falls for Drew's sister, Evelyn. I believe Charles and Cecily are step-siblings. Drew's sister Evelyn was adopted. There's plenty of complications mainly about CLASS and REPUTATION and snootiness.
Charles is an Earl in his 1560s timeline; Charles and his sister are both in the royal court of Queen Elizabeth. In the 1880s, Charles is a poor farmer. He poses as an EARL to help out his friend, Drew/Andrew. In the 1560s storyline, Andrew/Drew is a poor nobody. In the 1880s he's studying to be a doctor AND the heir to a company. Charles wants Drew to play doctor in the 1560s in the royal court.
I liked it well enough. I did. Not my favorite or best, but somewhat mostly interesting.
