Iris | 4 comments looking for a book (possibly a novella or play style) that i read as a child approx. 30 years ago maybe around early 80s. my father bought it from a used book store so the book was already old.

The main story takes place in a castle and i can't remember much else other than maybe a tragic ending. The last part of the book takes place in present day with a newly-wed couple on their honeymoon and they visit/tour the castle and the couple may be looking at the portraits and the girl says she's been there before or feels deja vu about another life time there....

i'm hoping someone else can remember this book. i've been going crazy asking and looking for this book...please help! thank you!!!

The castle is used as a frame for a number of stories set in the past, but the conclusion is in the present. The main characters ..."

Iris, how far back in time does the story start?

Location - England/France/country, region?

Genre, tone or theme - romance, mystery, scary, time travel, reincarnation, etc.?

Is this book for young adults (teens), older adults, or children?
