About this listen

At 11 Lalla should be enjoying her childhood in London. But this is not London as we know it. In a collapsed society, Lalla struggles to imagine her future. When a government announcement invites her to enjoy a new life in Regent’s Park, Lalla sees a glimmer of hope. But what is she willing to risk?

The Time Being is the short-story prequel to The Ship by Antonia Honeywell, if you enjoyed this, you’ll love the full-length novel sequel.

I didn't really enjoy this short story but am glad I listened to it. There was nothing wrong with it only that I now know that I definitely don't like this genre. I expect many people will enjoy it but unfortunately it's not for me.I like the fact that it was a free short story because it gave me an opportunity to try a new genre without investing in a full length book

Amazing

This child epitomises the human race - refusing to believe the obvious evil until it is forced on us. We are too gullible to accept human nature, but that in itself is human nature.
All in all, a touching little tale to remind us to keep our minds forever open.
