I can't resist a good time-travel story, particularly when it's about feelings rather than science. When my eyes fell on Time Was's synopsis, an imaginary pen ticked many boxes I love: old books & bookshops, queer love, time-travel. And the book delivered. I finished with tears in my eyes and the satisfied feeling of having read a powerful story, no matter how short.
