"Fourteen-year-old Charlie Matters is up to no good, but for a very good reason. Without parents, peerage, or merit, ducking school but barred from actual work, he steals what he needs, living day-to-day until he's old enough to enlist to fight the Germans. After barely surviving the Blitz, Charlie knows there's no telling when a falling bomb might end his life. Fifteen-year-old Molly Wakefield has just returned to a nearly unrecognizable London. One of millions of people to have been evacuated to the countryside via 'Operation Pied Piper, ' Molly has been away from her parents--from her home--for nearly five years. Her return, however, is not the homecoming she'd hoped for as she's confronted by a devastating reality: neither of her parents are there, only her old nanny, Mrs. Pride. Without guardians an stability, Charlie and Molly find an unexpected ally and protector in Ignatius Oliver, and solace at his book shop, The Book Keep, where a book a day keeps the bombs away"--

Outstanding story set during WW II

I have the audio book - loved it from start to finish. The narrators were outstanding. A lonely bookkeep and two teen agers form a family during WW II. Loss, deceit, forgiveness, so many emotions. I hope the author writes more historical stories. Glad to still be able to purchase an audio book (non digital).

Strangers in Time. wonderful story

Very good story about war and relationships. Makes you really feel the pain of war and loss. All different people can love and care for someone they may never have thought was worth their time and help.

Engaging!

It is a book that keeps you engaged with the characters. You feel as if you are living their lives with them. It is a book you hesitate to put down.

Wonderful story

This is a wonderful historical fiction book. I enjoyed this story very much! The characters are wonderful with a little mystery behind them. The way the characters became friends in a time of great need was wonderful. There are heartbreaking parts and the end was uplifting.

Engrossing, Heartbreaking and Hopeful

A great book for fans of WWII stories. The descriptions are vivid and the quest to survive during wartime London is eye-opening. The stories of the bombing raids were so real, I could feel the characters terror through the pages.Everyone in my family is in line to read this book and it is being quickly passed from one family member to another.Another fantastic book by David Baldacci!
