Summary

London, 1927: One house. Three lives. A decision that will change everything. A powerful, unique timeslip story, perfect for fans of The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Miniaturist, and Lucinda Riley.

On the morning of Friday 5th August, 1927, Miss Agnes Humphries – the landlady of the attractive, if-slightly-shabby, white-fronted townhouse at Number 23 Burlington Square – has a decision to make.

The rooms of the second floor lie empty, since poor Mr Blandford’s unfortunate demise, God rest his soul. And Agnes must make up her mind as to who will be her new lodger… Will it be her spirited, young niece Clara, who drifts through the glamorous world of London’s Bright Young Things? Or Stephen, the sensible, church-going, respectable banker who seems just be too good to be true? Or the timid war widow named Mercy, who is clearly running from something – or someone…?

Agnes must choose between them. But what will her decision lead to? One of the choices could result in scandal, one in devastation, and one could even lead to happiness. If only she gets it right…

As all three lodgers enter Number 23, in alternate timelines, relationships are formed and destroyed, feathers are ruffled, and secrets are exposed. Three different choices. Three very different paths. And Agnes is to discover that nobody – including herself – is quite who they seem…

Really good story but totally spoiled by the narrators quite frankly ridiculous voices. I stopped listening at a few points as I couldn’t bear it but liked the story so persevered.

I so enjoyed reading it, I'll probably listen again at some point. Wonderful narration, and a lovely "sliding doors" sort of tale, about how one decision can lead to a different life than another decision taken.

What a lovely book!

A great story, read perfectly. I’ll definitely check out other Jenny Keers and others read by the same actress.

Read beautifully.

I loved the concept of this story, the choices made in life and how they can change an outcome. I've often thought about what would happen at a crossroads in your life if a different route had been chosen and Jenni has written a beautiful story delving into this theory.
I engaged with the characters, was surprised by some of the twists and envisaged the house, rooms and supporting characters.
it's a story of truth, loyalty and friendship and I very much recommend it.
