From the New York Times bestselling author of The Diamond Eye comes a riveting short story about an impossible connection across two centuries that could make the difference between peace or war.

Yorkshire, 1943. Lily Baines, a bright young debutante increasingly ground down by an endless war, has traded in her white gloves for a set of headphones. It’s her job to intercept enemy naval communications and send them to Bletchley Park for decryption.

One night, she picks up a transmission that isn’t code at all—it’s a cry for help.

An American ship is taking heavy fire in the North Atlantic—but no one else has reported an attack, and the information relayed by the young US officer, Matt Jackson, seems all wrong. The contact that Lily has made on the other end of the radio channel says it’s…2023.

Across an eighty-year gap, Lily and Matt must find a way to help each other: Matt to convince her that the war she’s fighting can still be won, and Lily to help him stave off the war to come. As their connection grows stronger, they both know there’s no telling when time will run out on their inexplicable link.

What the critics say

“The touch of fantasy interjected into this compelling audiobook is a unique departure from author Kate Quinn's usual historical fiction.… The narrators make the characters so real that listeners can suspend disbelief and feel their tension, grit, and cleverness. Both narrators display considerable linguistic talent as they portray these heroes with warmth and bravado.”—AudioFile Magazine, Earphones Award Winner

I love the narration and the storytelling in this book it was amazing to see yet again how Kate Quinn can bring two characters together and you fill them and think about them in your heart after you're done listening.

Kate Quinn delivers beautifully mixing 1940's historical fiction with "time shift" to 2023 and makes it work! Cudos to the narrators ie. Saskia Maarleveld (always superb) and Andrew Gibson (new to me) who make this story so believable! Love the short story format bringing another element of the behind-the-scene stories of WWII.

Short and Sweet

I can't stop listening to Kate Quinn's books. the Narrators bring you in as if you are there, and she writes as if you could be the characters friends.

I've found my new writer
