Strangers in Time is set in the heart of London, 1944, where the echoes of war have left indelible scars on its inhabitants. This gripping tale follows the lives of Charlie Matters, a fourteen-year-old with a penchant for mischief, and Molly Wakefield, a fifteen-year-old returning to a city she once called home.

Charlie, orphaned and without prospects, survives by his wits, stealing what he needs to get by until he can join the fight against the Germans. His life has been a continuous battle for survival, especially after enduring the horrors of the Blitz.

Molly returns to a London that is both familiar and alien, only to discover the heart-wrenching truth that her parents are gone. Her dreams of a joyful reunion are shattered, leaving her adrift in a city teetering on the brink of destruction.

Their paths cross at "The Book Keep", a sanctuary amidst the chaos, owned by Ignatius Oliver, a widower still haunted by secrets that contributed to his wife's demise. Together, they forge an unlikely kinship, drawing strength from each other as they face their demons.

As the bombs continue to fall, their newfound peace is threatened by the shadows of their pasts: Charlie's clandestine activities, a mysterious figure trailing Molly, and Ignatius's burdensome secret. In a world torn apart by conflict, can they find solace and hope in one another?

Strangers in Time is a poignant exploration of friendship, resilience, and the power of community in the darkest of times.
