Özet

***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....

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

It should be made into a series!

This book is obviously written for a YA audience. The female protaginist, Sophie, comes across as rather stupid and slow to learn the mores of the environment she finds herself in. I imagine this is a means by which the younger listeners can appreciate the differences between 21st century and alternate early 20th. Personally I found it repetitive and irritating. Hugo, in contrast, seems intelligent and sensible, much more believable. The narrator has a very light, "young" voice, possibly chosen to align with the YA audience, yet managed the narration very well. Despite my criticisms, the this is a reasonable and easy to listen to time travel exploration.
Addendum. Somehow I've been hooked and actually want to know what happens next, despite my minor niggles!

A history lesson for the 21st century

excellent mix of original story telling and references to classic sci fi. The narrator is excellent.

great world building

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 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
