> I am coming up with zip on two customer requests to find books on tape that they have listened
to in the past 5-8 years. My first customer remembers a fiction audio book that she is sure had
this title The_____ Door. She thought the missing word was green or middle. It is the story of a
young woman (about 20 yrs old) who leaves London with her parents to vacation in the Scottish
Highlands. She listened to the tape about 5 yrs ago and remembers that the young woman time
travels and gets involved in the Battle of Culloden. My customer swears it is not Gabaldon's Outlander
and looked at that book and tape to make sure. She thinks the time setting in the book is about 1928
and thinks the book was actually written in about 1930. The customer also said the female reader had
an incredible voice and lapsed into perfect gaelic as needed...

This title sounds like "The MIddle WIndow" by Elizabeth Goudge.
Judy goes to the Highlands for a vacation with her fiancee and her
mother and father. The middle window in the parlor is boarded up -
there's a tragedy behind it. She doesn't exactly time travel but she
experiences the thoughts and feelings of Judith, a young woman
who lived during the time of the Battle of Culloden. It's got a nice
romance in it. The setting is right (20's). I didn't know it was on
tape though!Alison

It will rise in perfect light,

To be fearful of the night...."
