About this listen

Thirty years ago something terrible happened to Luna's mother. Something she's prepared to reveal only after her death.

In settling her mother's affairs, Luna finds more questions than answers until something impossible and magical happens....

Luna meets her mother as a young woman back in the summer of 1977. If she can truly travel back in time, she can change things. But in order to save her mother's life, will she have to sacrifice her own?

I'm sorry that I just couldn't get into this story at all. I normally love Imogen Church but the American accent was to coarse. It really irritated me. I like to listen to audible in bed, but the often louder accent took away the enjoyment of the book. Hence I'm returning it with still 7 hours to go.

Awful American accent

I nearly didn't buy this audio book as one of the reviews said it was predictable. Sorry they were so wrong. There are twists and turns all through the book. It is completely compelling and I abandoned everything just to listen. It is the best book I have listened to since Outlander so that is quite an accolade. Just as you think things are settled you almost stop breathing as you follow Luna back to 1977 to save her mother, can she? You'll just have to listen.

Fantastic, brilliant, bravo!

I just loved this book. The characters were vibrant and well written. It kept my interest throughout and the twist at the end was unexpected. It made me laugh and cry at different times and I would really recommend it. A story of true love and friendship. Imagen church does a great job of narrating this book. Will definitely be looking out for more books narrated by her.

Wonderful!

Could not stop listening to it, a really intriguing story and very much enjoyed it.

Unexpected and magical

Fantastic story - had me thinking about it whenever I wasn’t listening to it. Superb to the very end. The narrator was excellent too: a bit excessively ‘passionate’ and tortured sounding for an entire book, but easy to listen to. Very glad I bought it.

Wow!
