I have a confession. I really don’t like reading historical fiction. This author, David Baldacci, is one of my favorite thriller writers so I gave Strangers in Time a chance. And I’m glad I did.
Strangers in Time has an intriguing plot but it shines best with its fully fleshed out characters. Needing to know what happens next to thief Charlie, abandoned Molly and widowed bookshop owner Ignatius will keep you turning the pages. They put together an excellent found family during the chaos and uncertainty of 1944 Britain.
Even if you don’t usually read historical fiction, Strangers in Time may change your mind about your preferences. Or it might just be a nice little break from mysteries and thrillers as it was for me. 4 stars!
