The house on the strand

Dick Young, staying at a friend's house in Cornwall, tries a drug created by a scientist that sends him back to the fourteenth century. Each time he takes it, he watches the lives of people on the same land, caught up in intrigue and ambition, though he cannot take part. As the past draws him in, his real life, including his family, begins to suffer. The novel is a haunting blend of time travel and psychological suspense about obsession and escape.
