Wishing Cross Station by February Grace
5.0
Keigan is tasked with investigating a mysterious book, part of a legacy donation to his community library, but soon finds himself an uncertain time traveler, dumped in the past with no control over his return and wholly dependent on the townspeople.
It reminded me a little of [b:Tesla's Attic|17197651|Tesla's Attic (Accelerati, #1)|Neal Shusterman|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1384021423s/17197651.jpg|21361300] in inventiveness, but this is definitely targeted at the older end of the market and doesn't fit neatly into a genre. (Normally I'd count time travel as science fiction, but this seems to stay away from any science aspects, but you could safely call it historical fiction with a touch of romance and mystery, enabled by SF/F. Vague enough?)
The story itself is told with a certain grace. The simplicity of the words allows the characters to shine unhindered by prose, but don't underestimate the author's skill. I'll definitely be looking for more by [a:February Grace|5820076|February Grace|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1435173729p2/5820076.jpg].
