Twenty-two-year-old Lyndall Huxley wakes to find herself thousands of years into the future. Something went wrong with the programme for which she volunteered - a programme that employs Einstein’s laws of relativity to send travellers forward in time. The ruins overrun by green woodland in which she wakes are a far cry from the urbanised world she left behind in the 2200's. Lyndall embarks upon a journey that will leave her questioning her very identity. She must choose between the new life that beckons and the old life from which, even thousands of years later, she cannot escape. She will discover that the mission was never about sending people into the future. Much more is at stake.
"Thoughtful, clever, poignant and thought-provoking in equal measure"- The Scotsman
"A thinking person’s sci-fi novel with plot twists a-plenty"- Boston Standard
"Given its cinematic potential, it is possible – perhaps likely – that Threads in Time, the first in a planned trilogy, will follow its literary forefathers to the Big Screen."- The Yorkshire Post
What is their mission and how are they going to complete it?
Hannah De Giorgis debut novel, Threads in Time is a smashing success. The main character, Lyndall Huxley, is a twenty-two-year-old that has woke up in a new world. There are so many unusual things happening in this strange place. This book is marvelous.
Lyndall Huxley
She is the main character, and our first-person point of view character, who is from the twenty-third century. Lyndall is telling the story as best as she could, and it’s pretty exciting to see how this all turns out to be. She had me rooting for her and her friends that she meets once she arrives. Lyndall’s friends are fellow time travelers and natives. We learn why she chose to time travel. I think this was a great tactic to do since it helps us know Lyndall a lot better.
Likes
- Her love for Sean
- That she loves her family a lot
- Sort of her decision to go into the future
- She loved history
- Great with keeping facts in her head about things that most people didn’t think twice about
New World
Lyndall and four other time travelers landed in a time that they weren’t supposed to be. They were all surprised to see the way that Mother Earth has taken back her land despite all the buildings that are all still around. Lyndall thought that she was the only one until she ran into some people from that world and then the ones from her own time. It took a while to get used to life here in this new world, but they were adapting A lot of things have changed and its a pretty interesting change to the way things were in the twenty-third century.
Five Stars
Threads in Time by Hannah De Giorgis is totally worthy of a five-star review; I honestly couldn’t stop thinking about the group, the new world, or the things that were happening to them. Ms. De Giorgis is a great author, and I can’t wait to read more of this trilogy. Lyndall and the other time travelers are lovely people that I hope will live a great life. They deserve it after everything that they have learned and endured.
Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of Threads in Time by Hannah De Giorgis.
Until the next time,
Happy Reading!
