I recently read “The Frequency of Us” by Keith Stuart for my local book club, and I borrowed the book from my local library.

Read my review to see if I recommend the book and where you can buy it.

My Review of  “The Frequency of Us” by Keith Stuart

I liked this book, and it was nice to read a story set in Bath, UK, which is a city that I have never visited but I like the sound of. It was a beautiful love story that began during the second world war, and I liked the sci-fi time travel element. I do feel that the book should have explained the other lifetime experienced by Elsa, but of course that would probably be a whole other book. As it was, I followed the story and I related to the characters, feeling emotional for them, and understanding their experiences. It wasn’t the best book I have ever read, but it was good, and I enjoyed reading it.

About the Book

In Second World War Bath, young, naïve wireless engineer Will meets German refugee Elsa Klein: she is sophisticated, witty, and worldly, and at last his life seems to make sense . . . until, soon after, the newly married couple’s home is bombed, and Will awakes from the wreckage to find himself alone.

No one has heard of Elsa Klein. They say he was never married.

Seventy years later, Laura is a social worker battling her way out of depression and off medication. Her new case is a strange, isolated old man whose house hasn’t changed since the war. A man who insists his wife vanished many, many years before. Everyone thinks he’s suffering dementia. But Laura begins to suspect otherwise . . .

Buy the book: Amazon; Waterstones; WHSmith.
