Vindication Across Time
'Vindication Across Time,' which can be read as a standalone novel or as a sequel to 'Across Time and Space', exposes the corruptive influence of unchecked power and control. Inspector Aldo, heading the investigation on the shooting of Professor Andrei Malakov, exerts uncanny control over the media, and the judicial system while preying on widowed women. As the wheels of deception slowly untangle, who will be maligned, who will be vindicated? The trial sessions reveal startling details on the entanglement between Andrei Malakov’s housekeeper, Ana Kuznetsov, and his wayward son, Boris. Struggling in her world of mundane, predictable existence, excitement in new places and unexpected encounters, Meryl Moorecroft, an aspiring writer, becomes caught in the barb of Professor Malakov’s family indiscretions. She is thrust into a dark world of international crime and legal wrangling in the picturesque city of Florence. Truth, lies and secrets, spanning many decades, emerge to leave her floundering in her quest for a new life. 'Vindication Across Time,' explores the necessity of patience and resilience when dark forces attempt to strangle good. Will Professor Malakov survive to reveal the identity of his shooter? Will Meryl find happiness when her relationship with Michael Morrissey crumbles? Why is Michael's journey through South Africa a humbling experience?

The complex relationships explored are fundamentally based on honesty, trust and mutual love: The familiar Shakespearean themes with a modern twist. A captivating read for all who may one day bravely dare to realise their quintessential dream, no matter the cost.

Finished this outstanding sequel to Across Time and Space. I loved the references throughout the novel to Shakespeare. IT was very in keeping with the storyline. The sequel brought with it more clarity to the interesting characters. The exciting adventure, emerging romance and travel locations were well described and the book brought apt closure for its characters. The novel emphasised how ones life can change through time. Being able to embrace this without remorse, albeit difficult, is essential. Mala Naidoo has provided a fabulous sequel which I throughly enjoyed. I look forward to more from this budding author.
