The Victorian Chaise Longue by Marghanita Laski

This novel tells the eerie and captivating story of a young woman in the 1950s who, while resting on an antique chaise longue, finds herself inexplicably transported back to the Victorian era, trapped in the body of another woman. As she navigates the restrictive and patriarchal society of the 19th century, she becomes increasingly desperate to return to her own time and body. The narrative explores themes of female autonomy, identity, and the constraints imposed by society, weaving a haunting tale of time travel and psychological suspense.
