Summary
A story of love complicated by time travel.
New York, 2000. Kate and Ben meet at a party and fall instantly, irrevocably in love. Around them, the city glows. It is the first year without a war anywhere. A woman is president, and an air of camaraderie permeates the streets of Manhattan. Kate falls asleep, knowing she is loved.
London, 1593. Kate wakes as Emilia - the mistress of a nobleman - and finds the plague at her door. Afflicted by premonitions of a burnt and lifeless city, she sets out to save the world. Each decision she makes will change her life with Ben forever.
A story of love and alternate universes, madness and time travel, The Heavens is a dream bound up in a strange awakening; it is a novel of what we have lost, and what we might yet be able to save.

Magical
Beautiful y narrated. At first I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it but was wrong, it enticed me in and I didn’t want it to finish.

Not for me
Really not for me unfortunately. Chosen for our book club and I persevered, but it just didn’t tick any of my boxes unfortunately. I didn’t really like the characters and I wasn’t a huge fan of the style. The concept was cool, but for me this just didn’t work.
