She was crying and crying for a girl who had died more than forty years before, whom, in any normal world, to any normal way of thinking, she could not possibly have known; whom she had never even seen, though she had lived as her.

Charlotte inexplicably finds herself trading spots in time and space with a girl named Clare. Back and forth the two girls go, trading, returning, trading again, returning again, on and on.
I was disappointed, I think, as I was hoping for a deeper story, something more than simply occupying a bed with wheels, and...
SPOILER ALERT...SPOILER ALERT...SPOILER ALERT...
...a richer and more satisfying ending.
It is interesting, I read this book in Swedish some 20 years ago, and I wouldn't have recognized it.
It is more melancholy than I remember it. I also didn't remember Emily at all.
