Fan of historical/time-shift books? Margaret Mulligan is reading her new novel, Katy Parker and the house that cried online. Set in both the present day and the Second World War, Katy and Patrick are mysteriously plunged back in time as war evacuees. They must change the course of history in order to find their way home.
