Time Lost

De: Elyse Douglas

Narrado por: Natalie Duke

In 1953, a mother's routine drive home is transformed into a time-travel odyssey when the light from a mysterious spacecraft hurls her and her car to 2023, setting in motion a series of extraordinary events and a life-and-death decision.

On a serene night in 1953, Sally Mason, a dedicated wife and mother of two, drives a twisting road on her way home from night school. Suddenly, a mysterious bluish-white light descends over the road.

Terrified, Sally slams on the brakes. After a flash of bright light nearly blinds her, she passes out, awakening to the persistent knock of a police officer on her car window. When she sees the officer and remembers her frightening experience, she screams and faints, and is rushed to the hospital.

What Sally does not know, and what the police eventually and reluctantly conclude, is that Sally and her car have been hurled ahead in time from 1953 to 2023.

Driven by the urgency to reunite with her children, Sally is forced to confront the reason for her time leap journey and to grapple with a life-and-death decision.

A mixed bag

This book had an interesting premise, but the execution was often clunky and the text inelegant. It would have benefitted from proper editing. I have decided I need to get better at spotting self-published novels vs. conventionally published works. I absolutely do support the independent spirit, but honestly, I feel disappointed more often than not when I go this route.

Unique story

I liked the original storyline. I didn’t like how the main character was encouraged to start a new life and fall in love and remarry. It was presented as the ultimate goal she could achieve. It felt stilted and inauthentic.

Good Story

Although a little slow at times ( I guess it would be fast for the 50’s but slow these days), it was an excellent concept and a good story with a happy ending

Loved it!

This was a delightful story! I usually read thrillers and this was a wonderful change from that genre. It kept my interest throughout.

The story

Story did not draw me in at first but I gave it a chance and was glad I did. I enjoyed a different approach to aliens

A Good LIsten

A young woman is propelled 20 years into the future. Good storyline. Narration was only fair. Still it was a good listen.

Good time travel story.

I liked it very much. Some of it I guessed the outcome some not. Anyway, glad I listened to it.

Second chances.

I loved the epilogue. I’m still crying. I loved her second chance life. Keep on writing. You are great.

Great story!

My husband gifted me with this book on audible and I'm so happy he did. I really enjoyed the story. I fell in love with the main character, and the other characters were well done also. I found it exciting and a little bit romantic, with the right mix of human emotions and science.

Entertaining and easy read

The book was an easy read (read it in 24hrs) heart warming moments and I really enjoyed the ending!
