Publisher Description
Bloomsbury presents Right Place, Right Time by Ali McNamara, read by Imogen Church.
'Charming and utterly intriguing' Katie Fforde
Could this be the moment they've both been waiting for?
Eve has always loved antiques.
She loves the way an item from the past can offer a glimpse of another world, of another time. It's why she painstakingly researches the stories behind every item in Rainy Day Antiques, her little Cambridge shop, to share with their new owners. It's her way of honouring the past and cherishing the present.
Adam is firmly focussed on the future.
He's only in town to sort his late grandfather's affairs. When he discovers that his grandfather hired Eve to manage his house clearance, he can only hope her methods don't delay his return to London.
What neither of them know is that Adam's grandfather chose Eve for a reason. It's finally the right place and the right time for the two of them to meet. But what did he have planned for them?

Customer Reviews
*Coincidences*
This was a great, easy read. At first, I wondered where it was going, but then it took an unusual turn. I don’t want to spoil anything, though.
We meet Eve, one of the owners of a collection of shops with different things but Eve deals in antiques. Part of her job involves house clearance.
When she receives a request to clear a house, she decides to take it on. Her shop is based in Cambridge, and each shop has its own style. The shopkeepers all get along well.
When Eve arrives at the house, she meets Adam. There’s significance in their names. Adam is only there to sell the house and go back to London.
It’s interesting that Eve was chosen for this job, but Eve and Adam start to find they have many things in common. Although Adam is older by a few years, they are both leap year babies, February 29th.
As they go through the contents of Adam’s grandfather’s home, they come across some photos of Adam’s grandfather and Eve’s grandmother, Dotty. They’re dressed in different eras of clothing, and they wonder why. Is it fancy dress? Or is there another reason? They soon realise that there are clues forming about their relatives and where the clues will lead.
Are they prepared for the truth? Some know more than Eve and Adam realise, and what they find out will blow their minds. You definitely need an open mind…
Love time travel!
Great book and you really got into the characters. Didn’t realise there’d be time travel, so a bonus!😁
