About this listen

London, 1927: One house. Three lives. A decision that will change everything. A powerful, unique timeslip story, perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Miniaturist, and Lucinda Riley.

On the morning of Friday 5th August, 1927, Miss Agnes Humphries – the landlady of the attractive, if-slightly-shabby, white-fronted townhouse at Number 23 Burlington Square – has a decision to make.

The rooms of the second floor lie empty, since poor Mr Blandford’s unfortunate demise, God rest his soul. And Agnes must make up her mind as to who will be her new lodger… Will it be her spirited, young niece Clara, who drifts through the glamorous world of London’s Bright Young Things? Or Stephen, the sensible, church-going, respectable banker who seems just be too good to be true? Or the timid war widow named Mercy, who is clearly running from something – or someone…?

Agnes must choose between them. But what will her decision lead to? One of the choices could result in scandal, one in devastation, and one could even lead to happiness. If only she gets it right…

As all three lodgers enter Number 23, in alternate timelines, relationships are formed and destroyed, feathers are ruffled, and secrets are exposed. Three different choices. Three very different paths. And Agnes is to discover that nobody – including herself – is quite who they seem…

Absolutely loved this book. Excellent story that kept me hooked the whole way through. I did not want this book to end. Superb Narrator really brought the characters to life

Brilliant Book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Really good story but totally spoiled by the narrators quite frankly ridiculous voices. I stopped listening at a few points as I couldn’t bear it but liked the story so persevered.

Good story, terrible voices!

Enjoyed this book despite being slightly long winded and in places predictable. But beautifully read so was a good read

Interesting characters

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

An intriguing 'sliding doors' novel, which the further I got into, the more I became invested in the characters and their individual stories. The author's descriptive writing is beautiful and multi-layered, and Lucy Scott is the perfect narrator for the book!

People's lives!

I so enjoyed reading it, I'll probably listen again at some point. Wonderful narration, and a lovely "sliding doors" sort of tale, about how one decision can lead to a different life than another decision taken.

What a lovely book!
