A Moment in Time

By: Bertrice Small

Narrated by: Anne Flosnik

In 11th-century Wales, a land steeped in ancient Celtic lore, two lovers discover a passion that journeys beyond time.

Young Wynne of Gwernach has no dreams of marriage. Innocent and pure of heart, she believes that love is an illusion. Instead, she devotes herself to managing the great family estate nestled in the raw beauty of Wales, vowing to protect it and her younger brother until he comes of age to inherit.

And then Madoc of Powys enters into her life, claiming his betrothal to Wynne when she was a babe. Madoc is both feared and worshipped throughout the land, for his family's power is said to stem from Merlin himself. Yet it is a very human desire he evokes in Wynne; his warm gaze makes her flesh burn with unaccustomed fire. Still, she remains firm in her belief that she can never marry, can never be owned.

But Madoc of Powys is a Celt in his heart and soul. He knows Wynne's reluctance to wed is the legacy of another life. In time she will know everything - for which he is both hopeful and desperately afraid. For Wynne and Madoc have been lovers in another time, another place. But what unfinished destiny lays between them?

Contains mature themes.

Long Time Favorite

This book has long been a favorite of mine with the parallel stories housed within. The narrator does a lovely job of capturing each character. I am sure this is only one of the thousand times I will meet such beloved, flawed, amazing characters as I listen again to bring them to life once more.

Bertrice Small introduced me to historical romances and there will never be another like she was.

Suspenseful

Great narration and story. Don’t really enjoy the graphic sex scenes but the story was worth listening to in spite of them.

Bertrice Small What Else?

Loved it! Can never go wrong with any of her material. Miss her dearly.

Bertrice Small is one of my favorite storytellers!

This has captivated and devastated me. The brilliance of the dual timelines is remarkable. And the lore—the exquisitely poignant and tragic lore—caught me off guard. I was unprepared for the emotional impact; it left me shattered.


🎙️ The audiobook is worth the credit! Excellent narration by Anne Flosnik!

My Favorites

1. The O’Malley saga | The ultimate family saga of female powerhouses and the men they bring to their knees.
2. World of Hetar series | The “Throne of Glass” of bodice rippers!
3. Beloved | A descendant of Cleopatra and two Romans that desire her above all—SAY LESS. A historical feast.
4. A Moment in Time | A breathtaking love that is an echo in time. Emotional and unputdownable.

Thank you, Audible and Tantor Audio! Such a treat! 🫶

A Tad Dated

I was listening thinking boy this sure reminds me of romance novels from the 80s. It wasn't until the end that i realized it was written in 91. Knowing that makes all the rape easier to handle.

Most loved story!

Great writer, beautiful story, I want more of this! I want to write like Bertrice Small and I always enjoy reading this particular one! It’s full of time, life and seem to be timeless. Amazing!

An enchanting story!!!

Beatrice tells a believable/wishful story of love & and a couple who are continually reincarnated meeting throughout time! Delicious!

a moment in time review

this is one of my favorite books. I named my daughter after one of the main characters. I even wrote to the author before she passed and she wrote me back! I was so excited! I was a little disappointed in the reading of the story I didn't enjoy the voice of the reader very much and at pivotal moments when there is supposed to be drama and high emotion, it fell flat. this is my first read on audible. I hope it gets better from here
