🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 This book was such a unique blend of literary fiction and historical fiction with some fantasy elements sprinkled in. I’ve never read a book quite like it and I was completely mesmerized the entire time!

🪄 This book was marketed as “a book that scoops up all the wonder and hope and pleasure of the Narnia novels and pours it into a story for grown-ups.” That’s the line that drew me to this book and I think it so accurately described how I felt reading it!

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 There is just SO much going on in this book: 1939 London with war stress, an unlikely love story, time-travel, thriller level intense scenes, etc. I never knew what was going to happen next, but I was happy to just enjoy the unfolding of this crazy plot.

📖 Even while some parts may have gone over my head, the writing itself was incredible, and the characters were so real to me while reading!
If you’re bored of the same old, same old and are looking for a truly one-of-a-kind novel, I recommend this one!

🎧 The narrator, Lydia Wilson, did a fantastic job! Her voice was stunning and so easy to listen to, and she brought so much emotion to the story!
