Following the tragic death of her mother, Michele Windsor becomes the responsibility of her wealthy grandparents in uptown New York. On top of her difficult acclimation to her new school and friends, Michele soon begins randomly jumping around in time, an action she is helpless to control or have any hope of explaining. When a new boy appears at her school, a boy who looks and acts suspiciously like Philip Walker, Michele’s boyfriend from previous ventures into 1910, she is overjoyed, and more than a little confused. Yet when she tries to speak to him, he has no memory of her, or recollection of the wonderful times they shared. Can Philip and Michele’s love overcome even the greatest of obstacles, time? For time, and time travelers, hold the gravest of secrets, secrets that may come to endanger Michele’s very existence.
Opinion:
“Timekeeper,” by Alexandra Monir, was an extremely entertaining read that keeps the reader enthralled to the last page. Through haunting villains, and a revenge that attempts to cross both time and space, the story is truly gripping, and is enhanced significantly by Monir’s masterful inclusion of the Windsor family’s backstories. The main character, Michele, was extremely relatable to high school readers because the story is one, not only of romance, but of self-discovery. Monir’s creation of the time traveling world was a refreshing rendition, with principles of time traveling I have never seen before. “Timekeeper” unites the 1900s with the present in a unique and exciting way, and is enchanting for lovers of adventure novels and romance enthusiasts alike.
