I was absolutely enthralled by this book and pretty much annihilated it in two days. Not only is the storytelling compelling but I was so invested into the shared lives of our six characters, 3 in the past (1944) and 3 in the future (2023), I couldn’t put the book down.

It was the easiest thing to pick up this book and fly through 100 pages in a blink of an eye. I blame it entirely for the fact I kept loosing track of time and may delayed a lunch time or two.

I immediately got into it and the split perspectives between Henry in our current time, and Alice back in the 40’s made for super interesting reading. When Henry discovers a buried radio in the garden (whilst burying his gerbil), it brings him together with his friends as they embark on mad conversations through time.

When they pick up the radio, neither of them expect an answer but when the answer is across the span of time, it gets even more surreal. But it couldn’t have any repercussions right? They both soon see that time is a fragile thing…

I mean, oooo, what a great premise for a book. I couldn’t have enjoyed it more! And the ending?!!! Gah. I really can’t wait for the follow up now.
