About this listen
Thirty-year-old Eve Sharland is browsing a Pennsylvania antique store when she discovers an old brass lantern tucked away on a shelf. She picks it up and sees something behind one of the sooty glass panes. To her surprise, she finds an unopened letter stuck inside.
The letter is postmarked December 24, 1885, and it is addressed to Evelyn Sharland in New York City. Eve gasps and drops the letter. That's her name! The letter is addressed to someone with her name in 1885: Evelyn Sharland.
Eve purchases the lantern and the letter, and returns to her New York City apartment. Later that evening, she opens the letter and reads it, astounded by its contents. She stares at the lantern in wonder and alarm, deeply moved by the story of a tragic romance.
A few days later, following a request in the letter, Eve cautiously lights the lantern. To her utter shock, she finds herself in the past - in 1885 New York City. Eve is thrown into a life far beyond what she could have ever imagined, as she gets involved with one of the richest families in New York City and meets the handsome Patrick Gantly. She must struggle to survive and return to her own time, even as her destiny is changed forever.

The narrator sounds like an AI robot
The story was mostly good. It felt like I was reading teenage fiction though. The narrator was truly robotic though. Not an ounce of feeling in her voice. She did however do a very good Irish accent.

I've become a Time Traveller!
Very enjoyable. I'm not a Sci Fi fan, but I am fast becoming a Time Traveller! The story and characters are so well developed and intriguing. Narration excellent. Couldn't put it down. Already listened to the concluding chapters three times! Enthusiastically recommended.

Quite cringe
Really wanted to like this. But my golly is the protagonist infuriating. Story had some pretty odd gaps with strange pacing. Overall just not a fan.
Narrator was ok. Not great- but decent accents if a little stiff at times.
