A review by erinastin
Time Was by Ian McDonald

2.0

Ok, so basically like every other review has said, this book is not at all what the blurb says it is. Ian McDonald had the opportunity to write a fantastic, gay love story set in WWII and, instead, we get the perspective of a bland bookseller in the present day. I'm giving it an extra star because I really enjoyed Ian McDonald's writing and would be interested in reading more of his work, but the plot/story construction didn't do it for me.
