Summary
A story of love complicated by time travel.
New York, 2000. Kate and Ben meet at a party and fall instantly, irrevocably in love. Around them, the city glows. It is the first year without a war anywhere. A woman is president, and an air of camaraderie permeates the streets of Manhattan. Kate falls asleep, knowing she is loved.
London, 1593. Kate wakes as Emilia - the mistress of a nobleman - and finds the plague at her door. Afflicted by premonitions of a burnt and lifeless city, she sets out to save the world. Each decision she makes will change her life with Ben forever.
A story of love and alternate universes, madness and time travel, The Heavens is a dream bound up in a strange awakening; it is a novel of what we have lost, and what we might yet be able to save.

Pretty cover, terrible book
Firstly the performance is very good. The narrator was clear and had a good range of voices. The actual story however is absolutely rubbish. It made no sense, had no coherent flow and not one of the characters had any redeemable qualities.

Beautiful y narrated. At first I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it but was wrong, it enticed me in and I didn’t want it to finish.

Not for me
Really not for me unfortunately. Chosen for our book club and I persevered, but it just didn’t tick any of my boxes unfortunately. I didn’t really like the characters and I wasn’t a huge fan of the style. The concept was cool, but for me this just didn’t work.
