This is the account of what happened over a year and a bit working as a "bridge" at the Ministry of Time, written by the "bridge" herself.
The unnamed female MC is bridge to the fictional version of Commander Gore (of the Terror, one of Franklin's ships to find the North Passage). Gore has been extracted from the Arctic in 1847, from a possible certain death, and now has to acclimatise to a Britain that's very different from the Empire he left.⬇️
Got this as an ARC through my job at a bookstore.
I enjoyed this book and found it quite funny. However, I did find some of the plot, especially towards the end, very confusing, which detracted from my enjoyment. I can‘t tell for sure, though, if this was a book problem or a me problem. I also disliked the fact that the MC was never given a name. I understand why Bradley chose to do this, but I felt more detached from the main character. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It's March. That means it's time for some exam paper rubrik reading.
I've organised a cat sitter for HFH #GhostCat -and #ShadowCat, of course- who will stay with the clingy cat until the firstborn arrives.
But, before I head off, I'm hoping to read a few more pages of the tagged book/ARC.
Change of scenery for this afternoon's reading - #GhostCat and I are at the vets'. Her feline highness has a wound in a rather delicate area that might need antibiotics.
Never a dull day, especially when I had planned to have a dull afternoon.

This is probably one of the most original stories I have read in a long time. What a genre mash-up: romance, time travel, spec fic, historical fiction just to name a few! And it shouldn't work, but it totally does. It does so well. I am smitten with all the characters in this novel, especially Graham Gore. Your heart will swoon, you will laugh from the fish out of water moments, and you will cry from the pain the characters experience.
