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?

Right Place, Right Time by Ali McNamara
★★★★

Eve, an antiques lover devoted to preserving the past, and Adam, a future-focused Londoner, are brought together while settling his late grandfather’s affairs. Neither realises their meeting was carefully orchestrated, setting the stage for a connection meant to unfold at exactly the right time.

This was my first read by Ali McNamara, and I won’t hesitate to pick up another of her books in the future. Right Place, Right Time was a cozy, easy read. Exactly what I needed and wanted during this busy time of year. I went in blind and was delighted by how lighthearted and effortlessly smooth the story felt.

I loved the way Eve and Adam met, their gentle slow-burn romance, and how their connection went far beyond simple attraction. It was sweet to see how naturally they connected in so many ways. There was even opposites attract at times, making the relationship seem realistic and raw.

This was a beautifully told story, one that now makes me smile every time I look at it on my shelf.

*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…

What an amazing book. Right up my street! I thought it was going to be a standard RomCom, however when it veered into the Paranormal, it elevated the story to a new level. I couldn’t put it down.

When Adam travels to Cambridge from London to prepare his grandfather’s house for sale, he expects a straightforward task. But his grandfather had one final request—Eve, a relative stranger, must handle the clearance and antique sales. What begins as an odd stipulation spirals into a chain of uncanny coincidences: Adam and Eve, both born on the rare date of February 29th, and a hidden connection between their grandparents. Inspired, Adam decides to transform his grandfather’s beloved book collection into a bookshop—right next door to Eve’s antique store in the quaint Clockmaker’s Court. The other shopkeepers welcome him warmly, but something about the close-knit community hints at secrets lurking beneath the surface…

This is one of those books that makes you stop and say, ‘Wow.’ The plot twists are brilliantly crafted, keeping you on your toes from start to finish. It’s practically begging for a sequel—and honestly, it has all the makings of a fantastic film adaptation. I absolutely adored it.

Ali McNamara is always a go to author for me. This one started a slow burner getting to know Eve and Adam. Adam grows on you so much throughout. They are the best of leads and the love between them shines without. This is much more than a beautiful love story taking it's bonkers turn in the middle ish point. Once you get to the time travel you become hooked while craving some of the normality. It's a mix of emotions and a fantastic read 4.5 stars

This took an unexpected turn! I was expecting your basic, same-old smut-filled rom-com, but instead I got a true mysterious adventure. I picked it up looking for some light reading, and I ended up having a great time with it, so now I’m genuinely curious to see what else McNamara has in store!

I absolutely loved this book! We meet Eve who owns an antique shop in Clockmaker Court, Cambridge. She meets Adam when undertaking a house clearance for him at his late grandfather's home. These two characters are just so likeable and if you think their names are just a coincidence, then keep reading as they have more meaning as the book moves on! I have to admit, the story for me is a teeny bit slow at the beginning, but this didn't worry me at all as I knew it would pick up as the book moved on...and oh, how I was right!!!

If you have read other books by this author you'll know that there is always a magical/mystical element to it, and this one is no different. I won't say any more as I really wouldn't want to spoil any part of it, but it's safe to say the twist in the story is absolutely brilliant and I was completely and utterly hooked by this point. Of course, I largely took the storyline with a pinch of salt as surely it just couldn't happen, but there was a little bit of me that was wondering if it really could! It did give me though a massive piece of reality escapism while I was transported to this captivating courtyard of shops and the secrets it was holding!

Filled with lots of love, family and friendships, this heartwarming and emotional read captivated me right through to the very end, and I was genuinely sad to finish it! Would recommend!

This was a quirky read. It wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but once I started I couldn’t stop. Such a unique story about the possibility of time travel, I loved all the clues and the characters that we met from different times along the way. Having the characters be called Adam and Eve made me chuckle too.

I loved the criss crossing timelines, and really appreciated the effort that must have gone in to making sure that nothing got mixed up, working with time lines and branches, gets confusing and complicated quickly.

This was a lovely read, that really got you thinking about what if?

I totally judged this book by the cover! This wasn’t 1000% not what I expected at all. I was thinking this will be some sort of cutesie small town romance read but it was waaaaay more than that! There’s so much to unpack in this read and if you’re a fan of the back 2 the future movies then this is for you! There’s portals, time travel, wartimes, quantum physics (yes you read that right) past traumas, found families, unexpected plot twists! My head was blown after the halfway mark of this book and it’s nothing like I’d have ever expected! I thoroughly enjoyed this and I’d absolutely recommend this to any Marvel loving geek out there too!

Reny - per RFS

Quando si dice una lettura piena di sorprese? Eccola qui! Un’altra prima volta per me, pensavo (avendo curiosato un po’ in rete) di trovarmi davanti alla classica commedia romantica e invece… Sicuramente c’è del romanticismo, ma non certo quello a cui siamo abituati: pensate che il primo bacio tra i due protagonisti avviene ben oltre la metà del libro! E allora? Di cosa stiamo parlando? Di una storia fantastica, intesa nel vero senso della parola, che ci porta a vivere scenari inaspettati. Il tema cardine della trama è molto affascinante, ricordate i film della saga Ritorno al futuro? Ecco, se come me li avete amati, adorerete anche questo bel romanzo.

Eve Sinclair ha un negozio di antiquariato in Clockmaker Court, a Cambridge, ed è nata il 29 febbraio, cosa già insolita di suo. Un notaio le ha notificato che il defunto signor George Darcy ha lasciato scritto nel suo testamento che lo sgombero dei mobili e oggetti presenti nella sua casa avrebbe dovuto essere fatto espressamente da lei. Con non poche perplessità (non sa chi fosse questa persona) si accinge, proprio il giorno del suo compleanno, a incontrarsi con il nipote, tale Adam Darcy. Scoprire che anche il giovane è nato il suo stesso giorno, solo quattro anni prima di lei, è la prima strana coincidenza. Da qui in avanti la trama si infittisce, ci troviamo di fronte a una sorta di “caccia al tesoro”, la scoperta grazie a vecchie foto che i loro bisnonni si erano conosciuti, le molte incongruenze rivelate proprio da queste immagini li portano a intraprendere una sorta di indagine, che li porterà…. Vi ho incuriosito? Spero proprio di sì, perché è una storia che non può che appassionare, sempre che si abbia la mente aperta e si accetti ciò che la ragione non può spiegare.

La narrazione è in prima persona con la voce di Eve e forse questa volta è un limite, perché ci impedisce di comprendere appieno la personalità di Adam, che a mio parere avrebbe meritato di più. D’altro canto, però, i colpi di scena che si incontrano scorrendo le pagine mettono in secondo piano la parte sentimentale, intesa come storia d’amore tra i due. Che c’è, ma è talmente blanda da passare quasi inosservata. Molto più importanti e appassionanti saranno le scoperte che faranno i due. La terza grande protagonista è la pittoresca piazzetta Clockmaker Court, su cui si affacciano undici edifici costruiti secoli prima, che ospitano al piano terreno caratteristici negozi. Da tenere ben presente questo strano particolare: manca il numero 7. Una piccola comunità di commercianti che si aiutano l’un l’altro, all’ombra di una quercia secolare posta proprio al centro, che sarà anch’essa fondamentale ai fini del gran finale. Così come lo saranno gli amici negozianti, ognuno di loro parte integrante della vita della ragazza, che qui ha trovato da sempre una sorta di famiglia, ma che forse nascondono qualcosa.

Unico piccolo difetto di questo romanzo, che nel complesso mi è piaciuto molto, è una certa mancanza di ritmo, soprattutto all’inizio, che fa scemare a tratti l’attenzione.

In conclusione: se vi aspettate il classico romance da farfalle nello stomaco questo non fa al caso vostro. Ma se vi va di immergervi in una storia corale, in cui ogni personaggio ha una funzione ben precisa e, se soprattutto accettate di aprire la mente ad altre dimensioni, siete nel posto giusto.

Consigliato.

I like a McNamara book - I’ve read quite a few. They are gentle reads, often sweet with a hint of ‘magic’ thrown in the mix. This is the same premise with this book - but, I didn’t vibe with it as much as some of her others. Right Place Right Time tells the story of Eve, who owns an antique shop in Cambridge. She is asked to clear the manor house of a recently deceased old man - and, whilst there, meets his heir, Adam. What follows is a fairly predictable romance and a plot that involves time travel, surprisingly. I wasn’t as gripped as I usually am, I found myself just plodding through it to get to the end. Some parts are a bit slow with a lot of dialogue and there are so many characters of parents, grand parents, great grand parents, shop owners, friends etc that I had a hard time keeping up with who’s-who. There were some ok parts, but - I’ve preferred her other books compared to this one.

This has the magical realism I've come to expect from Ali's books, but this time it leaned a little more heavily into it than I would have liked. The time travel elements became a bigger focus, and the story moved in a different direction than I was expecting.

That said, I really enjoyed the parts set around the shop owners on Clockmaker Court. I also liked how Adam and Eve (yes, those are actually their names) meet when Eve is asked to clear out Adam’s grandfather’s house after he passes away. I found myself wishing the story had stayed more focused on their relationship in a traditional romance sense.

It’s not a bad book at all - I just don’t think I was quite the right reader for it, and it’s not my favourite of Ali’s so far.

I really enjoyed this book! It started off looking like a normal rom-com, but when the two main characters met very early on, I began to wonder what was going to fill the rest of the story. Well, it turns out there was plenty to fill it when it took a very unexpected turn (and something that wasn’t mentioned in the blurb at all!). Yes, you have to go with it, whether you believe in it or not but I really enjoyed all the characters and their outcomes. Would be a great holiday book as nice & easy to read.

** 1/2
Non lo so, negli ultimi anni la McNamara mi è personalmente scesa un po'. L'ho scoperta agli inizi con colazione da Darcy e la saga di Notting Hill e ricordo che mi piacque assai. Poi anno dopo anno sono uscite storie sempre più surreali e con lo stesso pattern: tragedia (scontata) dietro, elementi magici al limite dell'assurdo.
Non male come gli ultimi suoi che ho letto, ma la fiamma ancora non è stata riaccesa.

This ended up being a very different kind of book to what I expected which wasn't necessarily bad but I think I spent a lot of it feeling a little confused. The pace of the story was quite slow and there's a lot of dialogue which for me affected the flow also. It's a sweet book with great characters and a good setting especially if you love old buildings with lots of history.

This isn’t your typical romance read. It’s a lighthearted romance with a swathe of science, a sprinkling of mystery, and plenty of intrigue. It’s a truly refreshing read that captivates from the very beginning. The setting is absolutely divine, with colourful characters that make it a place I’d love to visit. It’s a treat in book form.

Thank you Netgalley.

Eve runs a quaint antiques shop in Cambridge in a ring of 11 shops known as Clockmakers Court. When she’s asked to do a house clearance for a grandson of a deceased gentleman who has specifically named her as the one to do the house clearance in his will, she’s a little shocked to find out that they share a birthday, and that his name is Adam (as in Adam and Eve) When they go through Adam’s grandfather’s belongings they find some mysterious photos with faces and names which are familiar to Eve.
How and why were they taken?

I’ve read a few Ali McNamara books before and I always forget that she adds a little magical twist to many of them. It starts off as a regular rom com kind of vibe but soon twists and turns with a mystery and an unexpected hint of magic.
Thoroughly enjoyed the ride.

With thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for the arc in exchange for an honest unbiased review.

This is a magical read with great characters in Eve, Adam and the Clockmaker Court shopkeepers. Although there are fantastical elements to the story there’s a believability thanks to the characters past and present and a very human element to the story too. There’s lovely chemistry between Eve and Adam and the story has been really well planned with a great mystery to it all. Overall it’s a very warm-hearted and enchanted relaxing read.

A wonderful heartwarming novel mixing past and present. Eve has always loved antiques and she tries to research every piece she has for sake in her shop to give customers some history. She loves to honour the past whilst Adam is focused on the future. They met when Adam hired Eve to clear his late grandfathers house and can’t wait to return to London. Yet it seems Eve was picked by Adam’s grandfather for a reason and they could finally be in the right place at the right time to actually meet. A beautifully enchanting story that will draw you in as the plot unfolds. Thank you to NetGalley, Bloomsbury Publishing Plc and the author for the chance to review.

Amici lettori, se cercate un'avventura che vi tenga incollati alla pagina, questa non è la vostra fermata. Ho iniziato questo libro con un po' di entusiasmo, ma è svanito più velocemente di un giorno bisestile.
Eve, un'antiquaria con un negozio nel pittoresco vicolo di Clockmaker Court a Cambridge, incontra Adam, un tecnico del suono rock che sta ereditando una casa piena di segreti. La loro missione congiunta di sgombero porta alla scoperta di foto d'epoca impossibili e di un mistero sepolto. Riusciranno i nostri due eroi nati entrambi il 29 febbraio a svelare i segreti dei loro bisnonni e a dare un senso a una trama che a noi lettori è sembrata chiarissima sin dai primi capitoli?
Ho letto questo libro. E l'ho finito. Merito un applauso e forse un premio per la resistenza, perché arrivare all'ultima pagina è stata l'unica vera impresa mozzafiato di questa lettura.
Il Mistero Svelato Prima di Iniziare
Il problema principale è che l'autrice ha disseminato gli indizi con la delicatezza di un elefante in un negozio di antiquariato.
Da quel momento in poi ho passato interi capitoli a osservare Eve e Adam scoprire la verità che io, e presumibilmente qualsiasi altro lettore, avevamo già intuito da un'era geologica. Un calvario. Il lato "fantascientifico" era così prevedibile che la caccia agli indizi per la stanza segreta sembrava la soluzione di un indovinello del Kinder Sorpresa!
Complimenti per la sottigliezza! È stato come guardare un film giallo dove l'assassino indossa una maglietta con su scritto "Sono l'Assassino".
L'autrice ci guida con il GPS di una nonna premurosa! Zero sfida, zero tensione. Quei capitoli, lentissimi, si sono trascinati come un bradipo affetto da sonnolenza cronica, portandomi a maledire ogni singola riga di tappezzeria strappata per trovare la camera segreta.
E l'Amore?
A questo punto, mi sarei accontentata se almeno la parte romance avesse compensato quella fantascientifica che fa acqua da tutte le parti. Ma no!
La chimica tra Eva e Adam ? Probabilmente era stata dimenticata nella casa del nonno di Adam. Era assente come il numero 7 in Clockmaker Court. L'unica tensione che ho percepito era quella del mio sopracciglio sollevato.
La tensione romantica tra i due è inesistente. Zero chimica. Il loro rapporto si evolve con la grazia e la lentezza di un atto burocratico. Per mesi si incontrano, parlano di pareti spesse e poi, zac! Ecco la svolta nel Capitolo 20: BAM!
Al diavolo la seduzione, al diavolo il corteggiamento, al diavolo la chimica; al diavolo i sentimenti e la costruzione della relazione! L'ho trovato dannatamente irritante! Il loro rapporto è privo di cuore.
Il Mio Ineguagliabile Grido di Libertà
L'unico vero e ineguagliabile momento di gioia e catarsi è arrivato quando ho voltato l'ultima pagina e ho letto l'Epilogo. In quel momento, ho emesso un poderoso GRIDO DI LIBERTÀ. Ho chiuso il libro con la gratitudine di un naufrago che tocca terra.
Non consiglio questo libro a meno che tu non stia cercando:
* Un sonnifero letterario.
* Un esempio di come un romance possa naufragare.
Se amate i misteri avvincenti, le storie d'amore che fanno battere il cuore, questo libro vi farà desiderare di avere un vostro portale del tempo per tornare indietro e scegliere qualcos'altro.
Voto Finale: 2/5 (Un punto per Clockmaker Court, che sembra carina, e uno per il mio sollievo finale).

I did enjoy this story with its mix of romance and magic. Eve is going to do a house clearance job on April 29th, her birthday, as her antique shop didn't turn out quite as expected. She had a lot more in common with Adam than just their names and birthdays. As the plot slowly unravels, all sorts of unusual occurrences begin to unfold. Are they coincidental?

There are some excellent characters in this story and I did like learning their background stories as the book went on. I did like Adam and Eve; their characters were well developed, and I liked them, which is always a plus in any story.

Overall, it was a really good read. I did feel at times it was a bit long-winded with too much explanation, however, the plot is unusual and intriguing. It is definitely worth a read if you like a few twists and a bit of mystery in your romance books.

The summary of the book, the title and the cover does not give away what this book is actually about. Which could be a good thing, but I went all in for a romance, and got disappointed as there's very little romance in it. After that, and once the main plot and topic of the book was revealed I was curious to know more. It's a cute read for those that like magic realism, but was a bit to childish for me.

Recensione presente nel blog www.ragazzainrosso.wordpress.com
Eve adora la storia. Per questo ogni oggetto che vende nel suo negozio di antiquariato a Cambridge è attentamente studiato nei dettagli per cercare di ricostruire quanto più possibile sulla sua “vita”. Adam lavora a Londra, è in città solo per disfarsi degli oggetti di suo nonno così da poter mettere in vendita la casa. I due si incontrano per fini lavorativi, la loro sarà una collaborazione breve, quel tanto che permetta a Eve di fare una valutazione e di trasportare gli oggetti, tuttavia, senza rendersi conto, si troveranno al centro di una vicenda molto più complessa e fuori dall’ordinario che cambierà per sempre le loro vite.

“Questo non è un film, Eve. Questa è la realtà. Ti è stato assegnato un compito incredibilmente importante, un compito che altre persone hanno svolto per centinaia, forse migliaia di anni prima di te.”

Il tema del viaggio occupa un ruolo di rilievo all’interno di questo romanzo. Si parla di viaggio nei ricordi di una famiglia e, soprattutto, di viaggi nel tempo. Quest’ultimo tema è davvero una sorpresa e rende il tutto sì surreale ma molto originale.

Eve è una donna tutta d’un pezzo, profondamente legata alle tradizioni e agli affetti. I suoi sentimenti sono genuini, coltiva il culto del passato per affrontare il presente. Adam, al contrario, incarna la praticità, per lui conta il futuro, occorre sbrigarsi per tornare alla vita di sempre.

Il loro incontro, come già suggerito dai loro nomi, è una sorta di nuova genesi. Apre un nuovo capitolo nelle loro esistenze e in quelle di quanti sono loro attorno. Tanti segreti vengono alla luce, spiazzandoli e rivestendoli di una responsabilità che mai avrebbero immaginato. Non voglio anticiparvi nulla perché altrimenti perdereste l’effetto sorpresa.

Lo stile della prosa è semplice, fluido e scorrevole. L’autrice riesce a conquistare il lettore rendendo quello che a prima vista poteva sembrare un romanzo rosa tradizionale un time traveller davvero ben costruito.

Un romanzo piacevole e delicato. Una lettura con due protagonisti i cui destini erano stati scritti prima ancora che nascessero e dove l’impossibile diventa possibile.

I love Ali’s books and the way they are written with such mystery around them. This one didn’t disappoint. I loved the host of characters in it and the part each played. The roles in which the characters played (past and present) made the fantasy element in the book more believable. The warmth of Adam and Eve added to their chemistry and there was a perfect balance of fantasy and romance shrouded in mystery.

Ali’s writing in this was as always addictive and I was hooked. It’s one not to be missed.
If you are already a fan of Ali you will love this one and if you haven’t read any by her this is a fantastic starting point. Out on
19th June.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC.

I was enjoying this book up until about halfway through when the plot took quite a turn and became a type of book that just does not interest me. This is a personal preference on genre of book (I’m not saying what it is as I don’t want to give away the plot) and there are many people who will like this book but I massively lost interest as it just became too far fetched. This is a shame as I’ve really enjoyed other books by Ali McNamara but it won’t put me off trying more books by her in the future.
