I had the joy of listening to the full cast audio edition of Strangers in Time, and it was such a treat. I love full cast productions—it's like having a movie play in your ears. When done well, they bring each character vividly to life, and this one absolutely delivered.
Stories set during wartime are never easy to read or listen to, but this book struck a beautiful balance. It was both heartwarming and heartbreaking in all the right ways. I found myself really connecting with the characters and feeling every high and low alongside them.
Molly made me roll my eyes a few times, I won’t lie—but then I had to remind myself of her background. She came from privilege and was a bit naive, yes, but not unintelligent. In fact, she was incredibly sharp in other ways and was always a loyal supporter of Charlie, constantly looking out for him.
Charlie, on the other hand, kept insisting he wasn’t honorable, but time and again he proved otherwise—sometimes without even realizing it. And then there’s Ignatius, who tied them all together perfectly, adding depth and warmth to the story.
Overall, Strangers in Time was a moving and memorable listen.
Thanks NetGalley and Hachette audio for the ARC
