Time Windows

Dear Kathryn Reiss,

Time WindowsTime Windows was one of my all time favorite books when I was young. It is a book that has stuck in my memory since I first read it over a decade and a half ago. The premise was so intriguing to me ~ a dollhouse that acted as a window to the past of your own home. I hold vivid memories of how I visualized the characters and concepts. The smell of magnolias has always had a special effect on me...

I recently purchased a first edition hardcover copy on eBay (my original edition was lent out to a friend in the fifth grade and was never returned). It was so fun to read once again ~ bringing back all those old feelings. It was fun to recall that the characters' last name was Browne (a name I have recently adopted), and to find that you have resided in Oakland for quite some time (we moved from Southern California to the Bay Area after I graduated sixth grade). I can't wait to share this story with my future young ones. Thank you for the great read, and for the great memories of the read!

Love,
Elizabeth
