About this listen

Thirteen-year-old Charity can escape her unpleasant reality by stepping through the parlor closet of her mother’s new home, a mansion built in the 1800s.

In her hometown of Talbot, New York, in the year 1880, she doesn’t have to worry about her depressed father skipping his medications or her mother flirting with her coworker. Instead, she gets to know the hatter’s son, who shows her a lifestyle of manners and pride. Few have ever accepted Charity’s old-fashioned ways…until now.

However, old Talbot can’t banish the present. Charity can stay in the mansion, with access to the hatter’s son in the past, and the prospect of a steady family unit with her mother and the new man in her mother’s life, or she can go back to her father, who has been given the option to straighten out his life and join them in their new home. Instead, his world unravels, and he spirals into violence and self-harm.

Torn between two worlds, Charity knows that if she doesn’t help him, she may lose him forever if he follows through on his threats of self-destruction.

Well written and interesting

I enjoyed this book very much. Despite the time travel aspect, it was quite realistic and tackled the heavy subject of depression without being off-putting. Nothing was sugar-coated or neatly wrapped up. Loose ends and mysteries were all addressed, however.

I enjoyed going back in time with Charity and escaping modern day problems. There is also the plus of learning some history.

I would happily read more from this author.

Great listen!

I love Jordan Elizabeth Mierek's books and this one is no different. She amazes me with how she can transport me to another place and bring her characters to life.
In the one Charity moves away with her mother Isadora, from her father, who is mentally ill but refuses to take his medication. They find a way to Old Talbot through a door in their new house and from there, things become magical.
