Book description
My Dear Reader,
October 15th, 2024
I've just finished listening to Heather Albano's Timepiece and felt compelled to write to you immediately-my mind is still reeling from the experience. You know how I'm usually skeptical of time travel stories? Well, Albano has completely won me over.
The audiobook grabbed me from the opening moments, weaving together three distinct timelines that somehow feel both separate and interconnected. There's something utterly captivating about Wellington's desperate situation at Waterloo, where monsters created by a mad scientist become his only hope against Napoleon. The narrator's voice perfectly captures the gravity of those historical moments while never losing sight of the fantastical elements.
But it's the discontented young lady in her rose garden who truly stole my heart-literally. Her mysterious pocket watch, which reveals scenes from every era imaginable, serves as our gateway into this complex world. The way the audiobook brings these historical and futuristic visions to life through sound and voice work is nothing short of masterful.
What surprised me most was how Albano manages to blend steampunk elements with genuine historical insight. The 1885 resistance fighters battling a clockwork Empire felt both fresh and inevitable once I was immersed in her world. Kim Stanley Robinson's comparison to stitching together the proper nineteenth century while fending off monstrous alternatives is spot-on.
The audio performance elevates every moment, making the connections between these seemingly disparate timelines feel natural and exciting. I found myself holding my breath, wondering how it would all tie together.
You'll want to add this to your listening list immediately.
Yours in literary discovery,
