Having read this story several years ago when I first read it, I found it just as entertaining as I did then. I love time travel stories and this is one of my favorites, since it captures the future and the past. As happens with many of the stories that are transferred electronically, more proofreading needs to be done to correct what appears to be typographical errors. This did not, however, take away from the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed the story (enough to read it twice). The descriptions of life in the past as well as the shock of that person suddenly appearing in a future life, is superb. I would definitely recommend it to a friend!

I love time travel novels and this one sounded interesting; however, the book was so repetitious it could have been shortened by half.
I am willing to accept strange premises for the sake of a good story, but this doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
When finished, I felt I had wasted my time and my money.
an easy, light, but enjoyable read. Great for a vacation or weekend off, to just relax and disconnect. I would recommend it.
It took awhile to get used to the olde language, but wouldn't have changed it for the world once I got into it. I couldn't put it down! I would highly recommend it to anyone, and I think it would be a great movie. A book club would have fun with this book. Good job Laurel. Thank you for the great reading! Can't wait to read Creme Brulee!
Not as good as I was hoping, but it was a reasonable good read. The author could have done more with the plot.
Fast, fun read. Well thought out characters, lovely, heartfelt story. I gave it only four stars because it's more like a short story. I really would have enjoyed it if the author expanded the story - letting us know what happened after the women were switched back to their original bodies. I wanted to see how each man responded to his wife's return (whether they truly believed in the switch or not).
Kirkinwall, Scotland, 1718. Magda McClellan is eight months pregnant with her and Davy's first child and she couldn't be happier with her life. When Auld Annie, an obscure and wise woman, is accused of witchcraft, Maggie cannot turn away and helps her. Impressed with the young woman's generous heart, Annie offers to grant a wish in return. Being that she is happy, Maggie refuses. But when strange dreams haunt her, she cannot help but worry that Annie may indeed have some power over her.

New York, New York, 2002. Maggie McDonald and her husband, David, are in desperate want of a child. When Maggie goes in for a procedure, they meet a strange nurse that promises them a baby, if it is there wish. Maggie finds herself quite out of element when she awakens to find herself pregnant...and not in New York anymore. Who is the large man that calls her Magda, and more importantly, where is Magda? Trapped in eighteenth century Scotland, she will have to figure out how to switch her and Magda back before it's too late. Meanwhile, Magda must learn to deal with the hustle and bustle of the twenty-first century and the heavy heart that comes along with her. Both desperately search for answers, to their dilemma and their confused hearts.

A Wish in Time takes one of the most entertaining genres of romance, the time travel, and combines it with a unique plot to produce a truly moving and thought provoking story. It's the typical "we're not in Kansas" feel for both women, but how they handle their individual dilemmas is what's interesting. Maggie takes on the then primitive livelihood of Scotland with spirit and determination as she puzzles out the mystery of how she came to be there. Magda, in many ways, has much more to overcome, being brought up with an entirely different set of ideals when it comes to hearth and home. Both women will discover new sides to themselves that they never knew and learn again what is most important in their lives. I sniffled many a time over this one and loved the movement between the two time periods. The author's style changes subtly for each woman's circumstances, stark and clean for the poor Magda, then bold and fiery for Maggie, caught as she is in that tempestuous time period. It brought to mind one of my favorite authors and I dare say other fans of Barbara Delinsky will love this wonderful tale of love that spans centuries.
A Wish in Time is a succinct description of the book's theme. In 1718 Scotland, Magda McClellan is offered a wish by Auld Annie. But Magda has a happy marriage, loves her husband and is eight months pregnant--her life is perfect, so she declines the wish. In present time, Maggie MacDonald and her husband are a happy couple very much in love and have all they could want-- except a child. Auld Annie appears to Maggie and her husband and says she can now grant her the wish, except they have no idea who the strange old nurse is or what she`s talking about. Maggie awakens in 1718 Scotland, in Magda's body, and Magda awakens in present time in a hospital in Maggie's body. You can imagine the emotional turmoil that ensues for the women and their husbands, but the author's gifted writing allows you to share their adventures and their ache to return home.

The author did her research, her writing is smooth, and effortlessly drew me back to 1718 Scotland. Her dialog is clever, and when writing in the past she uses the Scots accent which I happen to enjoy. The characters are true to life and brief hints of the history made that part of the story believable. Present day characters and scenes are written equally well. The story is an interesting one, well thought out, and had me picking up the book every chance I could. The theme of everlasting love was the best part for me, and the way the author conveyed the love felt between the husbands and wives was very believable. Very sigh-worthy. Loved the book and I highly recommend this to anyone who likes romance and time travel.
