Me too! Read it as a teenager, still love it 35 years later.....

What is it about this book? I too read Tryst as a teenager and could not forget the book. It has taken me 20+ years but I've managed to acquire all of Elswyth Thane's novels. I have a large library but Tryst and the Williamsburg books remain solid favorites (although one does have to ignore some pretty dated language on the subject of race in the Williamsburg books). If you loved this book and haven't read any other Thane titles, give them a try -- The Williamsburg books are a singularly lovely way to learn American history!

This book should never go out of print.......

I was surprised to see how many of us had read this book in high school and never forgot it. And, how many of us still LOVED it. It's timeless. Of the thousands of books I've read through the years I really only remembered this one with such a desire to READ IT AGAIN. The first read was from the library. I couldn't remember the title or author. I've watched used books for years without success. Thanks to amazon and their search category!! I was able to find it under "ghost, Hilary". The recent read was just as sweet as the first one years ago. I was really afraid that it was teenage book that would be disappointing now. It wasn't!!!!

marvelous book! old time romantic ghost story

This has been one of my favorite books for over 50 yrs. Everytime I have loaned it to family or friends it never comes back. They love it also. It is such a good story. Sabrina is very believeable although many young people today might find it hard to believe that young girls were like that at one time. Hilary has always been my ideal of a romantic man. How they fall in love and how things are "set straight" for them is a great story. I have read this book once a year for almost all the years since I first read it and it never fails to make me cry at the end. With happiness I might add! I recommend it for any romantic and for all young girls.

Haunting

Tryst

I really was being to think that I was the only one who had read and been haunted by this book. I, like many of the other reviewers, read Tryst in my teens and it has remained in my memory for over 40 years. One of the only other books to stay with me in this way is Precious Bane by Mary Webb; which was also written in the 1st half of the 20th century. Both are stories that touch your heart and come alive in your imagination.
