Still She Wished for Company is a captivating time-slip novel that masterfully weaves together the lives of two women separated by centuries. Set in both the 18th century and the 1920s, the narrative explores the mysterious connection between Juliana, a young woman trapped in the social constraints of the Georgian era, and Jan, a modern woman working in London.
Through a series of uncanny encounters and shared sensations, Margaret Irwin crafts a haunting exploration of loneliness, desire, and the thin veil between the past and the present. As the two storylines converge, the novel transcends the traditional ghost story, offering a profound psychological study of its protagonists. Irwin's evocative prose brings the historical settings to life while maintaining a sense of ethereal suspense.
Still She Wished for Company remains a celebrated work of supernatural fiction, praised for its innovative structure and its poignant depiction of the human longing for connection across the boundaries of time. Readers of classic gothic literature and historical fantasy will find this work both chilling and deeply moving.
