Reviews
Oliver Twist meets the Blitz when powerhouse author David Baldacci turns his pen from thrillers to historical fiction . . . Baldacci beautifully explores the dark side lurking under the London Blitz's romanticized image — Strangers In Time is a beautiful read that will linger long in the memoryKate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Briar Club
David Baldacci is one of the best authors alive, and every page of Strangers In Time shows why. This riveting novel plunges us into wartime London through three unforgettable main characters who come together to endure the terrifying bombing of a city they love, and at the same time, help each other to unravel the heart-wrenching mysteries of their own families. In Baldacci’s virtuosic hands, this is not only a masterpiece of a historical thriller but also a profound and even poetic exploration of the eternal power of friendship, grace, and love to overcome the harshest cruelty of war, hatred, and evilLisa Scottoline, New York Times bestselling author of What Happened To The Bennetts
