Suppose, without any warning, you found yourself in another place and time? Zap. Just that fast! And even worse, in someone else’s body. Then, a month later, zap. You’re back where you were before, as yourself, trying to explain to people what had happened to you.
No one believes you because during that month, people didn’t think you’d been gone, at all. Just that you’d been acting really weird. Because, someone else had been there in your body, someone who claimed she was another person. Everyone would think you were completely nuts. Right?
I can promise you they would. Because, that’s just what happened to me.
Why do Alyssa (Ally) Wallis, a soccer-loving teen from Texarkana, Texas, and Emmeline Caywood, a prim, artistic British immigrant to South Africa's 1820s Cape Colony of Bathurst, suddenly switch places and bodies?
Has Emme been cursed by the local Xhosa chieftain for breaking a taboo, as her maid insists? Did a fall launch Ally into a world of hallucination where what seems so real is no more than a creation of a wounded mind? Or, does each have a role in rectifying a centuries-old injustice that will change forever both of their lives and the lives of those they love?
Switch is a pause-resisting journey into the lives of two young women whose bond over time changes who they are, who they become, and the lives of everyone they love.

I thought the descriptions of the immediate reactions of each girl was insightful. From complete darkness and absence of sound except sheep bleating and the smell of her stale nightshirt in South Africa 200 years ago, to the astonishment of the existence of bright ceiling light, cars, computers and other marvels of modern miracles. The social norms and discomfort of both girls with clothing is also very well done. The girls and their friends try to determine why these multiple switches are occurring.
Each girl undergoes tremendous culture shock and personal growth. Really well done. I've already been recommending this book. This book can be read and enjoyed by anyone.
I listened to the audible version and I thought the narrator was excellent. She did multiple voices and accents with perfection. Read this book if you want a completely enjoyable experience

I particularly enjoyed the narration of this book. Gryphon Corpus makes it sound like she’s multiple characters telling a story of something that actually happened to them, rather than a narrator reading a book out loud. She also captures the different characters quite well, and you immediately know who is speaking as she works her way through the story.
I was given a free copy of the book and have left the review voluntarily.
Good YA story and excellent narration
