Timepiece

How it reads

Timepiece is science fiction (historical time-travel adventure, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in several locations, in the historical past, told in the third person, staying close to one character. Its central concerns are love, survival and secrets. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. At 307 pages it's a quick read. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
