About this listen

*** A BBC2 BETWEEN THE COVERS BOOK CLUB PICK ***

*** BBC RADIO 4 BOOK AT BEDTIME ***

In Second World War Bath, young, naïve wireless engineer Will meets Austrian refugee Elsa Klein: she is sophisticated, witty and worldly, and at last his life seems to make sense . . . until, soon after, the couple's home is bombed, and Will awakes from the blast to find himself alone.

No one has heard of Elsa Klein. They say she never existed.

Seventy years later, social worker Laura is battling her way out of depression and off medication. Her new case is a strange, isolated old man whose house hasn't changed since the war. A man who insists his fiancé vanished many, many years before. Everyone thinks he's suffering dementia. But Laura begins to suspect otherwise . . .

From Keith Stuart, author of the much-loved Richard & Judy bestseller A Boy Made of Blocks, comes a stunning, emotional novel about an impossible mystery and a true love that refuses to die.

Critic reviews

"Enthralling, a real thing of beauty. Dazzling." (Josie Silver)

"A fascinating, beautiful, heartwarming novel. It kept me gripped from the very first chapter, and I was rooting for Will and Elsa with all my heart." (Beth O'Leary)

"The Frequency of Us is a novel with a bit of everything: a sweeping love story, wonderfully complex characters, and a sprinkling of the supernatural. I loved it, and know it'll stay with me for some time." (Clare Pooley)

Good plot, quite clever with a few twists, the end i kind of hoped it would better or clearer but all in all a good read/listen. would recommend just don't waste time trying to find plot holes, would ruin it for you.

Good listen.

An interesting story, keeps you interested all the way through. A bit disappointing ending but did not spoil the story too much.

I wish they’d got a genuine Austrian to narrate the voice of Elsa. The guy just couldn’t do it

Spoiled by the terrible ‘Austrian’ accent

Mostly rounded characters. Dual narrative could be more distinct. Satisfying plot. Easy read. Recommended.

Clever interweaving of plot.

Well narrated and enjoyable despite being written mostly in the irritating present tense style.

An interesting and thought provoking story.
