Perhaps it all started when a kind stranger helped Rachel to board
the Kindertransport in 1939, or in 2025 when scientists Jamie and
Annamarie accidentally invented a time portal. Or maybe when
Jamie's mother Fran, the only historian they could trust to keep
their secret, persuaded them to let her investigate an ancestral
mystery in person. But now Annamarie is missing in Nazi occupied
Prague, and Jamie must arrive on time to undertake a desperate
rescue mission. Meanwhile, four-year-old Freddie, grandson to Fran
and nephew to Jamie, struggles with vague memories of a time before
he was born, and a deep sense that his grandmother is in danger.
When Annamarie fails to return from her trip through the portal,
all play crucial roles in an initial attempt to recover her. As
events unfold, it falls to Jamie to undertake a dangerous mission
to Nazi-occupied Prague to arrive on time to ensure that Rachel
boards the train to her destiny in England, to maintain the
integrity of the timeline. As each character in succession becomes
embroiled in their own ancestral issues, they are buffeted by
events relating to the Scottish diaspora, Scottish Presbyterianism
in the late nineteenth century, the Battle of the Somme, the
Kindertransport of 1939, the Czech resistance movement of World War
II, the Californian hippie culture of the 1960s, the Prague Spring
of 1968 and their families' geographical transience in time. As
their adventures unfold, they begin to understand their immersion
in history, through deep and enduring emotional connections between
generations, transcending time and location.
