Brothers Across Time
Description
Two bridges o’er water, one bound to the other, from present to future, from brother to brother.
Tony Bass longs for an adventure, and on a sleepless night in 1997, fate is about to deliver. His random encounter with twin brothers at first seems unremarkable, since it takes more than period costumes to stand out in Austin, Texas. When pressed for an explanation, the twins make an astonishing confession. They have traveled across time from sixteenth-century Venice.
Once Tony learns their enchanted gondola goes both ways, he convinces his brother Frank to take a vacation to 1590. There, Tony meets the beautiful and enigmatic Isabella, the daughter of a Venetian senator. But what begins as an innocent flirtation ends in crisis when Isabella gives birth to twin sons. The boys must be separated and raised in different centuries.
Eighteen years later, an American teenager boards the gondola and returns to the past to find his brother. While a struggling young man in old-world Padua embraces an unexpected future, which might just include romance with a handsome stranger.
This sweeping saga of family and friendship spans four centuries, three love stories, two generations—with one unassuming but kick-ass gondola…
"Boney faults his writing style as 'dialogue and stage directions,' but I call that bringing real people to life on the page." —Lambda Literary, review of The Nothingness of Ben
"Without a doubt a well-written and engaging novel, especially if you are a music lover... This one is a must read for fans of the genre." —MM Good Book Reviews, review of The Return
"This is a very personal story. I didn't want to leave it... Hope is given body and soul here in this book." —Prism Book Alliance, review of The Eskimo Slugger
