Summary

History will change.

Sarah Lester's mother is missing, and the Indian uprising holds her father captive. The police want to question her, and even the church is demanding its pound of flesh. Her return to The Old Curiosity Shop raises more questions than answers. 

Waiting in the shadows is a vengeful Richard Grey. After discovering Sarah’s ability to travel through time, nothing will stop him from restoring his name to its former glory. Not even time. 

Can Sarah reunite her scattered family before Grey closes the doorway to the past?

Telegram Home is the last book The Old Curiosity Shop trilogy.

Gripping and so unique

I really did love this trilogy and highly recommend - but one thing did let it down. Several storylines were not concluded which was frustrating and a couple of characters just disappeared altogether and I wondered why on earth they were ever introduced in the first place. Especially as a LOT of time seemed to have been wasted on them....

The overall story was so good though and really kept me guessing right until the very end. I've not read any books set in India or New Zealand so the settings were already novel, but being set in the 1800s added another layer of interest.

I wasn't massively enamoured with the main character Sarah. In book 2 she actually seemed pretty nasty but generally she was an ok lead character.

There's so much packed into these 3 books - history, antiquities, romance, violence, suspense and of course time travel (the latter was a bit weird though - the continuity in the way the character takes on another person was not quite consistent, perhaps an oversight by the author - but did I really care? Not really).

I will miss these books and, er, some of the characters. I'll just try to forget about the ones that had no outcome or apparent purpose?! 😆

Complex but great novel.

I have enjoyed this trilogy. As each book advances it is tricky to keep up with all the characters and timeline.

listen from book 1 it makes more sense.

Really enjoyed all three books. Well thought out with enough twist and turns and differing story lines to keep a never flagging interest. Time invested in listening worthwhile.

Too many lose ends

As with the previous books in this trilogy it comprises of short stories in their own right, most totally unconnected to the old curiosity shop. What happened to Colin and baby Sophie? Too much jumping from characters in the past to those in the future who were only mentioned in passing. The first two books need to be read first even then you have to have your wits about you to remember who fits in where. Not a book to relax with

confusing

third book, trying to tie up too many characters. seems that Sarah took over someone's life in India first time round but not any other time. list track of all the characters. so many similes and often cringe worthy. so many snippets very close to other time travel stories, which are even referenced in the story. should have stopped at book one.
