Sophie Arundel is stranded in history, stuck in a grand house in 1925 England. Thankfully, she has her faithful dog with her. Oh, and fellow student Hugo, fit, privileged, and annoying.

Baffled by upper-class rules, courted by boring suitors, Sophie is desperate to get back to the twenty-first century. But the only way home is through a hidden portal — and to unlock its secrets, she must work with Hugo.

As one clue leads to another, Sophie and Hugo discover that history is unfolding differently. Mobs rule the streets. And when chaos turns into a deadly revolution, anyone in a grand house is fair game.

Sophie and Hugo are running out of time…

Totally unexpected and engrossing. I like books to take me to the unfamiliar but few have given me a ride like this! First day at university for 2 students catapults them to another time and place where things are done very differently. Can they overcome their personal differences to survive and work out a way back home? The lead characters quickly felt like friends and their experiences, even the bizarre ones, all too real. Imaginative, startling and sometimes bonkers, I found this an unforgettable listen.

Fantastic adventure of mystery and love

as a fan of period dramas, it was interesting how a modern girl would feel stranded in the 1920s. this book is like Time Machine meets Downton Abbey.
I’m looking forward to the next book

An enjoyable book.
