Summary

1967. Four female scientists invent a time travel machine. They are on the cusp of fame, but then one of them suffers a breakdown and puts the whole project in peril....

2017. Ruby knows her beloved Granny Bee was a pioneer, but they never talk about the past. Then they receive a message from the future - a newspaper clipping reporting the mysterious death of an elderly lady....

2018. When Odette discovered the body, she went into shock. Blood everywhere; bullet wounds; that strong reek of sulphur. But when the inquest fails to find any answers, she is frustrated. Who is this dead woman that haunts her dreams? And why is everyone determined to cover up her murder?

interesting,

well narrated. I'm not sure I agree with the ethics. Also if nothing can be changed, what is the point of time travelling?

Confusing TIme Travel Story

I love Time Travel books - but this wasn't one fo them.

Just about between lots of different dates and has quite a few different characters to try and keep track of.

Also is different to other Time Travel books as the people can meet up with their older and younger selves - makes for a confusion.

Best book I’ve read in a long time

Absolutely brilliant. My favorite time traveling book to date. Could not put it down. Narration was spot on as well.

Beautiful Story

A beautiful story, romantic, thrilling, time-travel, murder mystery. Very well written, very well read. I both wanted it to end so I could learn the secrets and didn't want it to end as I wanted more.
Loved it

Old school sci-fi

I’m not really a fan of fatalistic time travel stories but at least this one plays out well. It also feels old fashioned at times , like those sci-fi stories from the 50s with Britain having a successful space program that sends people to the moon. However it’s still a good story and I enjoyed it.

Narration was good.

I loved this book!

This book was really fun to listen to. The plot comes from the perspective of different characters and from different times, which makes you want to go back and re-listen afterwards!

Interesting premise thoroughly enjoyable

I loved this more than I thought I would. The story jumps around a bit- as you might expect from a book about time travelling - which may put others off but if you stick with it it's definitely worth it. One of those books that I'll come back to because I'll probably pick up more things on my second listen.

Time travellers coping with knowing too much

A quite interesting take on time travel, in this story about the health risks of time travelling, the emotional burden time travellers may have to carry, and the types of crimes and crime solving involved with time travelling. The novel tells the stories of a group of women, interconnected through different time periods, some travellers, some just trying to cope with time travelling consequences and rules.
