About this listen
What happened to Dr. Jonathan Brandon, a dashing RAF flight surgeon, who disappeared from London in 1945? Kidnapping? Murder? Or did Brandon merely vanish of his own free will, seeking another life?
American teacher Anne Howard is stunned by a different explanation - that her British grandmother's long-lost fiance was unwillingly wrenched back through time to Elizabethan England. Anne knows time travel is nonsense - until she is handed a fresh-cut thornless rose, a bloom extinct for over 400 years! And then, when the impossible happens, and Anne journeys back to 1560 London, she must somehow survive encounters with royal enemies, accusations of witchcraft, and the possibility of never returning home.
In the midst of the chaos, she meets Brandon. Drawn into the perilous web of Elizabethan court life, they must confront their growing feelings for each other, complicated by poignant familial ties, while struggling with the shared danger of knowing what the future holds.

A great Story
I am loving these time displacement stories lately and this one does not disappoint - it is well written that captures the era an draws you in - it has the historical references along with the baddie and the cliff hanger at the end.
The narrator had an odd inflection to her voice which was a bit off putting at first but seemed to stop mid way - unless i just got used to it
Overall very happy with this and look forward to the next installment

That was Epic.
Publishing a story that’s written by two authors is an achievement, one that’s not always suited to individual authors. They have obviously worked well together.
Congratulations. I can imagine how different the bedding would’ve been had the virginal grandmother been transported back in time and had the crowds waiting!
All of the loose ends came together nicely and I am so glad that I was able to listen to this narrative.

great idea but so badly narrated
I could not get past chapter 2 .why get an American to narrate a Welsh historical novel .it was so bad she sometimes made the same character become Irish or Slightly Scottish or an American with a speech impediment .better had she read in her own accent .The story was unbelievably corny .unfortunately bad mistake to buy it .
