About this listen

***COMPLETE SERIES***

A hidden time portal. And she got in.

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....

I captured this for the length, to send me to sleep... it worked pleasantly but in waking I immediately went back to the beginning to listen properly. Great story and performance. Original, and immediate connection with characters. Will look to more from this writer.

A Smoothilicious Read

It's a good idea and performed very well but there's just a bit too much preaching for me. Feminist, vegan, animal loving wokeness that doesn't integrate well with the storyline. It just feels unnecessary and forced. On balance, it will stop me from listening to any more from this author.

could be really good without the preachy woke parts

I love these stories. They tick all the boxes for me. Sophie is a very down to earth young woman from the 21st century, who, with an unexpected companion, accidentally steps into a time machine. The story of her attempts to get back home from 1920’s Shorten Manor, plus the complicated relationship with Hugo and Freddy, is full of twists and turns.
It’s a great feel good story with an historical twist.

Period drama and time travel - what’s not to like?

Loved every moment, time travel, going to look for the rest of the story. Outstanding narrator!

It should be made into a series!
