A review by okiecozyreader
The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley
slow-paced
3.5
The narration on this audio (thank you libro.fm) was fabulous. I enjoyed both British narrators and it was so enjoyable to listen to.
The Ministry of Time is a British agency that time travels their operatives. A woman who is trained to reaclimate new arrivals is assigned an expat known as “1847” or Commander Graham Gore. She brings him up to date on the current world. Most of the novel is conversations between them. The last 2-3 hours of the audio the story got more interesting- but most of the novel is world building and introducing us to these characters.
“Life is a series of slamming doors. We make irrevocable decisions every day. A twelve-second delay, a slip of the tongue, and suddenly your life is on a new road.” Ch 5
“How could I resist it? He came to me as a story. Now l'd let the story slip out of my grip.” Ch 9
“Forgiveness, which takes you back to the person you were and lets you reset them. Hope, which exists in a future in which you are new.
Forgiveness and hope are miracles.
They let you change your life.” Ch 10
