About the Book

Strangers in Time is David Baldacci's departure from his signature thrillers into powerful historical fiction, set amid the devastation of Blitz-era London in 1944. Fourteen-year-old Charlie Matters has lost his parents and grandfather to the war, and now lives with his grandmother amid the rubble of his East End neighborhood, faking his way through school shutdowns and scavenging the streets to survive. Fifteen-year-old Molly Wakefield returns to London after five years evacuated to the countryside, only to find the city changed beyond recognition and both her parents inexplicably missing

Charlie's path crosses Molly's at a bookstore called The Book Keep, run by the quiet, grieving widower Ignatius Oliver. As German V-1 and V-2 rockets continue to wreak havoc on the city, the three lonely, adrift strangers forge an unlikely new family — though their fragile peace is soon threatened as long-buried secrets each of them carries begin to surface, with deadly consequences. The novel explores the importance of community in times of trouble, the traumas of war on body and mind, and the way class shapes wartime experience
