About the Book

Rosie Harford es periodista del diario The News, de una pequeña ciudad en Inglaterra. La noche anterior tuvo una discusion con Will, su novio, sobre el futuro de la pareja. Ademas, bebio demasiado y siente una mezcla de resaca y gripe. Su proximo trabajo sera entrevistar a una tal Margaret Turnbull, que vive en un barrio inaugurado hace exactamente 50 años, y que se ha ido viniendo abajo. Cuando llega a la puerta de la casa de la mujer, Rosie se marea y pierde el conocimiento. Despierta en una casa que no se parece en nada a la de la Sra. Turnbull. Esta en la amplia pero atiborrada cocina de una casa muy antigua, y la señora que la recibe la obliga a tomar una taza de te y se presenta como Sra. Brown y asegura que la estaba esperando. Que su equipaje ya llego y esta arriba, en el cuarto que ocupara durante su estadia Rosie cree que se trata de algun tipo de reality show, pero no, es la realidad. Ha retrocedido 50 años en el tiempo El diario The News, donde trabaja, ahora es el de esa epoca. Todos estan convencidos de que ella es una joven periodista estadounidense que viene a hacer una pasantia. En la redaccion Rosie se encuentra con lo que ella supone personas conocidas. Uno de los principales reporteros es Bill West, tan identico a su Will que apenas puede reprimir el impulso de darle un abrazo. Pero Billy la mira desconcertado, para el ella es una perfecta desconocida. Hace apenas cinco años que termino la guerra; las condiciones de trabajo son anacronicas para una joven del siglo XXI La ropa es incomoda, el maquillaje muy elemental, la oferta en tiendas y negocios pobrisima. La rutina domestica es otro shock. Pero lo que mas la perturba es la presencia de Bill West, a quien ama tanto en 1950 como en el mundo de nuestros dias Pero con una diferencia: en este nuevo presente, Bill esta casado y tiene tres hijos. ¿Que pasara ahora? ¿Podra nuestra accidental viajera en el tiempo regresar al mundo del que ha salido? Accidental Time Traveler combina habilmente una historia romantica con una estupenda reconstruccion del mundo de hace 50 años. En la comparacion entre pasado y presente, la autora muestra tanto los cambios positivos como los negativos. La moderna e independiente Rosie debera aprender, en su viaje al pasado, a dar al amor, a la confianza en el otro, al compromiso y a la familia como apoyo afectivo, el lugar y la importancia que antes les negaba. La novela esta relatada en forma muy amena, los personajes son entrañables - incluso la severa Mrs. Brown - y el interes por el desarrollo y desenlace de la historia no decae en ningun momento. Y el epilogo es sumamente original. / Journalist Rosie Hartford is having an odd day. Or one hell of a hangover...Having had a blazing row with her boyfriend - fellow journalist Will - she reluctantly sets off for her latest assignment: an interview with one of the residents of The Meadows, a grotty local estate about to become the set for a major reality TV show, The 1950s House. But stepping through the front door, Rosie finds herself in a different house - and transported back in time. Everything is grey and drab - the food, the clothes, the TV. It's like the world is in permanent black and white. It's not long before Rosie realises what's going on. She's obviously a contestant on the 1950s show! She's pretty miffed she's not been given warning, but she might as well give it a go - after all, the cameras are always watching and the first rule of reality TV is always keep smiling! But what really sends Rosie into a spin is the fact that Will is there too - but here he is known as Billy and has been married since he was 16 to Rosie's best friend.In the 1950s, Will/Billy is a family man and devoted father, a side to him that Rosie finds hard to imagine...
