In Lieu of You

A British Time Travel Adventure

By: Keith A Pearson

Narrated by: Mark Oxtoby

Keith A Pearson's time-travel adventure, In Lieu of You, centres on a relationship question many have pondered: Where would I be today if I hadn't met that one person?

Hypothetically, we might want to know the answer. In reality, though?

Gary and Clare Kirk are set to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary...except they’re not. Childless, and with so little in common, the couple finally accept there’s no good reason to remain married.

However, Gary’s idea of an amicable divorce settlement differs significantly from Clare’s, and tensions between the couple soon mount. Money, as is often the case, is at the root of their disagreement.

As Gary explores every avenue to evade his wife’s financial demands, he inadvertently finds himself sitting opposite a relationship resolution advisor by the name of Edith Stimp. The mysterious Mrs Stimp then suggests a solution as unorthodox as it is unbelievable—a brief journey back in time to the day Gary first met Clare.

If he accepts the unlikely trip back to 1996, all Gary has to do is prevent his teenage self from meeting his future wife. If they never meet, they never marry, and there won’t be a financially-crippling divorce—what could be simpler?

For better or for worse, Gary Kirk is about to find out.

Great Storyline

I really enjoyed this novel. Keith Pearson has a great knack for making time travel almost believable. This one was great, as are all of his novels I have read. Thanks Keith! Keep up the good works

Great time travel story!!

Not exactly the usual time travel mishaps. But that’s what makes this a great read. You can’t put it down. The narrator couldn’t have been more perfect, too. I’ll definitely be looking at the author’s other books.

Loved It!

I am a fan of Keith Pearson's books and I have almost all of them in my Audible library. I think this one is one of my favorites he has written!

Perfect ending

I was worried at times that the main character was too much of a jerk, but he is redeemed in the 11th hour.

Cool story

Fascinating story and VERY well written. Highly recommend for anyone who likes alternative universe or time travel genres.
