Strangers in Time by David Baldacci
This was one of the best Historical Fiction novels that I have experienced!
In London, 1944, two teenagers devastated by the war find a book shop owner who is suffering from his own losses.
Fourteen-year-old Charlie survives the streets as he goes from day to day, taking only what he needs. Existing as no child should have to, barely surviving the Blitz, Charlie is a beautiful soul.
Molly, at fifteen has returned from the country as part of the “Pied Piper” operation, only to find London in a state that she doesn’t recognize. She is confronted by a reality that she no longer has her parents and home isn’t what she remembers.
Molly and Charlie find each other and the two stumble into the world of Ignatius, a book shop owner, whose only solace is maintaining the shop his wife left behind. Ignatius finds that he needs the children as much as they need him.
There is mystery, intrigue, and just an overall beautifully written story of survival and forgiveness that will engulf you as the reader. It’s wonderfully written as only David Baldacci can do!
I would love to Thank NetGalley for the pleasure of reviewing an ARC of this book! 5/5⭐
